Act to acquire own shares and, as the case may be, redeem such shares without

the Supervisory Board, the acquisition may also be effected off-exchange under
exclusion of the shareholders' pro rata tender right. The amount of the own
shares to be acquired or already acquired may not in total exceed 10% of the
share capital of the Company at that time. The authorization to acquire own
shares is limited in its validity to a term of 30 months as from the date of
adoption of the resolution at the General Meeting, thus until 19 April 2023.
The lowest consideration to be paid upon repurchase is EUR 3.05 per share; the
highest consideration to be paid upon repurchase may not be more than 10% above
the average unweighted stock exchange closing price of the 10 trading days
preceding the exercise of this authorization.
This authorization can be exercised in full, in part, or in several partial
amounts in pursuit of one or more purposes - other than for the purpose of
securities trading - by the Company, by a subsidiary (pursuant to sec. 189a sub-
para. 7 of the Commercial Code (Unternehmensgesetzbuch) or by third parties for
the account of any of the foregoing.
2. The Management Board shall be and hereby is authorized pursuant to sec. 65
para. 1b of the Stock Corporation Act, subject to the approval of the
Supervisory Board, to resolve on a way of disposing of own shares, other than by
sale on the stock exchange or by public offer, with partial or full exclusion of
the subscription right of shareholders and to determine the conditions of sale.
Exclusion of the subscription right of shareholders shall only be permissible if
the own shares are used as consideration for a contribution in kind, in the case
of the acquisition of enterprises, businesses, business units or shares in one
or more companies in Austria or abroad. Furthermore, shareholders' subscription
rights may be excluded in the event that convertible bonds are issued in the
future on the basis of the resolution passed by the General Meeting of 20
October 2020 under item 10 of the agenda, in order that (own) shares may be
issued to such convertible bond creditors that have exercised their right of
conversion into or subscription to shares in the Company granted to them in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the convertible bonds, and also in
the event of a conversion obligation stipulated in the convertible bonds'
issuance conditions in order to fulfill this conversion obligation.
This authorization can be exercised in full, in part, or in several partial
amounts, and in pursuit of one or more purposes by the Company, by a subsidiary
(pursuant to sec. 189a sub-para. 7 of the Commercial Code) or by third parties
acting for their account and it shall remain valid for a period of five years
from the day on which this resolution is adopted, thus until 19 October 2025.

any potential resale program as well as the duration thereof shall be published.

1 sub-para. 8 of the Stock Corporation Act and with regard to the use of own
shares also relates to the portfolio of own shares already acquired by the
