Corporation Act)

Pursuant to Article 109 of the Stock Corporation Act, shareholders the
total of whose shares add up to 5% of the Company's share capital are
entitled to demand, in writing, that certain items determined by
them be included in the agenda of the subsequent Annual General Meeting and
publicized accordingly. Each item requested to be included in the agenda
must be accompanied by a draft resolution including a
statement of reasons. The applicants must have held their shares for at
least three months before the filing of the respective request. The
shareholders' request must have been received by the Company not
later than on the 21st day before the Annual General Meeting, i.e., on or
before March 2nd, 2012.
Pursuant to Article 110 of the Stock Corporation Act, shareholders the

entitled to submit to the Company, in text form (Article 13 (2) of
the Stock Corporation Act), written proposals for resolution with regard to
each individual item on the agenda and to demand that such proposals be
made accessible on the Company's Internet page, together
with the names of the shareholders in question, the required statement of
reasons and a statement (optional) by the Executive Board or the

on the agenda. The obligation of providing information also extends to the
Company's legal and business relationship with any of its affiliated
companies, to the situation of the Group and of the enterprises included in
the consolidated financial statements.
The request for information may be refused in cases where reasonable
entrepreneurial evaluation of the subject in question indicates that the
disclosure of such information is likely to cause a considerable
disadvantage to the Company or to any of its affiliated companies or that
disclosure would lead to prosecution. A request for information may also be
refused in cases where the information in question was accessible via the
'Questions and Answers' section of the Company's Internet page for a
minimum period of seven days before the start of the Annual General
Meeting. If you have questions the answering of which requires some
preparation time, please address them to the
Company in writing and in good time before the Annual General Meeting.
Those shareholder rights that depend on the shares having been held by the
shareholder in question over a determined period may only be exercised
subject to the provision of proof of share ownership throughout the
relevant period in each case; such proof must be provided by means of a
certificate of deposit pursuant to Article 10a of the Stock Corporation Act
or, in the case of shares that are not deposited in a custody account, by
means of a confirmation signed by notary. Further information
concerning the shareholder rights, particularly those pursuant to Articles

the latter added to the certificate of deposit, to the effect that it has
been granted a power of attorney, will be sufficient.
Powers of attorney may be issued by means of the form provided on the
Company's Internet page, www.buho.at, which also permits the granting of a
