INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Purpose and legal basis of processing your data The Company processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a (2) AktG, i.e. name, address, date of birth, securities account number, number of shares of the shareholder, type of share if applicable, date or period to which the deposit receipt refers, voting card number and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the proxy holder) on the basis of applicable data protection regulations, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act [DSG], so as to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting.
The processing of the personal data of shareholders is mandatory for the participation of shareholders and their representatives at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act, in particular Sections 111, 113, 114, 117 and 120 AktG. Shareholders' personal data are processed in the course of the Annual General Meeting in particular for the following purposes: Organising the Annual General Meeting, participation of shareholders and their representatives in the Annual General Meeting, exercising of shareholder rights at the Annual General Meeting, recording voting activity, creating a registration list, list of attendance and a list of proxies, preparing the minutes of the Annual General Meeting, and fulfilling compliance obligations, including recording, disclosure and reporting obligations. Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR therefore constitute the legal basis for said processing.
VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe, Schottenring 30, 1010 Vienna, is the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data. For the purpose of conducting the Annual General Meeting, the Company uses external service providers, in particular vote counting service, public notaries, legal advisors, special proxy holders and IT service providers. These providers only receive from the Company personal data required for the performance of the contractually agreed services and process the data exclusively in accordance with instructions received from the Company.

Retention period of your data Shareholders' data will be anonymised and/or deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, and as far as no other legal obligation requires further storage. Obligations to provide proof and to retain records arise in particular from corporate, stock corporation and takeover laws, from tax and duties legislation as well as anti- money laundering regulations. Should any legal claims be made by shareholders against the Company or vice versa by the Company against the shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with civil court proceedings, this may lead to storage of data for the duration of the limitation period plus the duration of the court proceedings until their legally binding conclusion. The period of limitation is governed, in particular, by the provisions contained in the General Civil Code.

    in Vienna
    TO BE HELD AS A VIRTUAL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING WITHOUT THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
    Company Law COVID 19 Act [Gesellschaftsrechtliches COVID-19-Gesetz/COVID-19- GesG] and Company Law COVID 19 Regulation [Gesellschaftsrechtliche COVID-19- Verordnung/COVID-19-GesV] In light of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Managing Board, after careful consideration, has decided to avail itself again of the legal option to hold a virtual Annual General Meeting for the purposes of protecting the shareholders and other participants as already in 2020.
    The Annual General Meeting of VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe on 21 May 2021 will be held as a "virtual Annual General Meeting" in consideration of the interests of both the Company and the participants, based on Section 1 (2) COVID-19-GesG (Federal Law Gazette I No. 16/2020 in the version of Federal Law Gazette I No. 156/2020) and the COVID-19-GesV (Federal Law Gazette II No. 140/2020 in the version of Federal Law Gazette II No. 616/2020).
    This means that no shareholders (with the exception of special proxy holders under Section 3 (4) COVID-19-GesV) will be permitted to be physically present at the Annual General Meeting of VIENNA INSURANCE GROUP AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe on 21 May 2021 in order to safeguard the health of everyone concerned. The Managing Board asks for the shareholders' understanding that they will not be able to attend the Annual General Meeting on 21 May 2021 in person.
    The Annual General Meeting will be held in Vienna in the physical presence of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, his deputy, the members of the Managing Board, the certifying notary, and the four special proxy holders designated by the Company.
    The conduct of the Annual General Meeting as a virtual Annual General Meeting pursuant to the COVID-19-GesG and the COVID-19-GesV will require modifications of the procedure for the holding of the Annual General Meeting and the exercise of shareholders' rights.
    Voting rights may only be exercised, motions put forward and objections raised by granting proxies and giving instructions to one of the special proxy holders proposed by the Company pursuant to Section 3 (4) COVID-19-GesV.

    The special proxy holder, the members of the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board, the public notary and all other persons entitled to participate in the Annual General Meeting by law have the right to view the legally required list of participants (Section 117 AktG) and thereby also have access to personal data specified therein (i.a. name, place of residence, shareholding). The Company is also required by law to submit personal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) to the company register as part of the minutes prepared by the public notary (Section 120 (4) AktG).
    Retention period of your data Shareholders' data will be anonymised and/or deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, and as far as no other legal obligation requires further storage. Obligations to provide proof and to retain records arise in particular from corporate, stock corporation and takeover laws, from tax and duties legislation as well as anti- money laundering regulations. Should any legal claims be made by shareholders against the Company or vice versa by the Company against the shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with civil court proceedings, this may lead to storage of data for the duration of the limitation period plus the duration of the court proceedings until their legally binding conclusion. The period of limitation is governed, in particular, by the provisions contained in the General Civil Code.
    Your rights You have the right to request information as to whether we process personal data concerning you. If that is the case, you may demand information regarding the data, the purpose the processing, the categories of data, the recipients, the source, and retention period of your personal data processed by us.
    Should inaccurate or incomplete personal data be processed, you have the right to obtain the rectification or completion of your data. You may also demand that your unlawfully processed data be deleted. Please note that this right only refers to incorrect, incomplete, or unlawfully processed data. If it is not clear whether the processing of your personal data has been incorrect or incomplete or even unlawful, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data until final clarification of the matter. Where processing requires your consent, you have the right to withdraw your previously granted consent at any time without stating any reason in order to prevent the further use of your personal data collected and used as per this consent. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing, which has been performed with your consent prior to your withdrawal. In the event of a revocation, you also have the right to request the erasure of your data.
    You may receive a copy of your personal data processed by us in a machine- readable format determined by us upon your request. You may also instruct us to directly provide these data to a third party selected by you, provided that said recipient has the necessary technical means and the data transfer does not involve a disproportionate effort or is in violation of any legal or other secrecy obligation or confidentiality consideration on our part or on the part of a third party.
    To the extent that we process your data for the purpose of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, you also have a right of objection.
    We kindly ask you to submit any requests using the below contact details. Please attach a copy of your ID when submitting your request to prevent your personal data from falling into the wrong hands.
