IV. VOTING BY MAIL Every shareholder is entitled to take part in the upcoming Annual General Meeting by voting by mail, pursuant to Article 19 of the Articles of Association and Article 127 AktG. Submission of votes must be done in written form by using the form (ballot) made available by the Company for this purpose. The documents required for absentee voting (ballot form, revocation form, instruction sheet, return envelope) will be sent upon request. Please request these materials from the Investor Relations Department by calling +43 (0) 57767 - 30401 at the following times: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. The texts of the form and the instruction sheet will also be available for downloading on the Company's Website at www.post.at/ir no later than March 25, 2014. In any case, the shareholder must include the following information on the ballot form: name (corporate name) and place of residence (headquarters) of the shareholder and the number of shares. Ballots are only considered to be valid if signed by the shareholder. The filled-out ballot form with the original signature of the shareholder must be received by April 10, 2015 at the latest by the notary public Rupert Brix at his postal address Seilerstätte 28, 1010 Vienna. Mr. Brix is serving as the authorised recipient of ballots on behalf of Austrian Post for purposes of absentee voting by mail. Shareholders should note that the votes submitted per absentee ballot by mail are to be considered as invalid if the content of the respective resolution voted upon by the Annual General Meeting is different than that stipulated on the absentee ballot form. If necessary, the Company will make a new form (ballot) available on the Website of the Company at www.post.at/ir for downloading in cases in which the company receives admissible motions from shareholders involving additions to the agenda pursuant to Article 109 AktG no later than March 25, 2015 and/or admissible motions involving resolutions pertaining to items on the agenda pursuant to Article 110 AktG by no later than April 3, 2015. A ballot submitted by mail can be revoked using the form (revocation) placed on the Website by the company for this purpose. The revocation is to be considered as legally valid if it is received by the notary public Rupert Brix by fax at +43 (0) 1 512 46 11 - 28 no later than the end of day on April 14, 2015. A shareholder who attends the Annual General Meeting personally and who has already voted on a resolution by mail is only to be permitted to exercise his voting rights at the Annual General Meeting if he has rescinded his right to vote by mail in a timely manner, i.e. no later than April 14, 2015 as described above. The failure to revoke the absentee ballot precludes the shareholder from exercising his shareholder rights at the Annual General Meeting. In this case, the shareholder is only allowed to participate as a guest, without the right to speak or pose question, to make proposals and in particular will not have the right to exercise his voting rights or the right of objection. A shareholder whose participation in voting takes the form of absentee voting by mail is entitled to use the ballot to declare on a precautionary basis his objection to the resolution to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. There are no other ways of raising objections. It is expressly pointed out that the pre-requisite for being entitled to voting by mail is limited to shareholders who are in possession of shares on the record date, and supply proof of such to the Company, i.e. the Company has received a safe custody receipt pursuant to Article 10a AktG no later than April 10, 2015 at one of the aforementioned addresses. Shareholders who want to take part in the Annual General Meeting by using the opportunity of absentee voting by mail must ensure the timely issuance and transmission of a safe custody receipt pursuant to Article 10a AktG as described above - similar to the procedure required of shareholders who want to personally attend.
V. PARTICIPATION BY PROXY Every shareholder entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting has the right to appoint a representative who will attend the meeting on behalf of the shareholder, and who is vested with the same rights as the shareholder whom he/she represents.
