Proof of shareholder status requires the submission of a deposit certificate pursuant to sec. 10a of the Stock Corporation Act, confirming that the shareholders submitting the request (5% of the share capital) have held the shares continuously for at least three months prior to its submission. This deposit certificate must not be more than seven days old at the time of its submission to the Company.

With respect to the other requirements related to deposit certificates, reference is made to the information under Section C.

Shareholders whose shares equal individually or in aggregate 1% of the share capital of the Company may submit to the Company proposals for resolutions in respect of each agenda item together with a statement specifying the reasons for the proposal and request that these proposals be made available on the Company’s website (as recorded in the commerical register) together with the names of the respective shareholders, the accompanying statements of reasons for the proposals and any statements issued by the Management Board or Supervisory Board, provided that this request is made in text form and received by the Company no later than 9 October 2020 either by fax to +43 (0) 1 3750 215-99, by e-mail to anmeldung.rbi@anmeldestelle.at [anmeldung.rbi@anmeldestelle.at], with the request attached to the e-mail as a scanned attachment (e.g. pdf), or by mail or courier service to Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Attn. Elisabeth Klinger – Group Investor Relations, Am Stadtpark 9, 1030 Vienna, Austria.
A proposed resolution that has been published on the Company’s website pursuant to sec. 110 of the Stock Corporation Act may only be voted on if it is repeated as a motion at the General Meeting. Each resolution proposal must (also) be submitted in a German language version.
In the case of a proposal for elections to the Supervisory Board (item 6 on the agenda) the reasons to be attached are replaced by the statements of the Supervisory Board nominees pursuant to sec. 87 para. 2 of the Stock Corporation Act. In these statements, the nominees must set out their expert qualifications, professional or similar experience, and any circumstances that may give rise to concerns with regard to potential conflicts of interest. Such proposals must reach the Company in text form by 9 October 2020 at the latest and be made available by the Company on the Company’s website by 13 October 2020 at the latest, failing which the persons concerned may not be included in the vote.
With respect to agenda item 6 “Elections to the Supervisory Board” and any potential election proposal made by shareholders pursuant to sec. 110 of the Stock Corporation Act, the following information is provided by the Company pursuant to sec. 110 para. 2 sub-para. 2 of the Stock Corporation Act:
The Supervisory Board of Raiffeisen Bank International AG consists in principle of twelve members (currently eleven due to the resignation of one Supervisory Board member) elected by the General Meeting (shareholder representatives) and six members delegated by the staff council pursuant to sec. 110 of the Labor Constitution Act (Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz). Prior to the resignation of one Supervisory Board member on 18 June 2020, nine of the twelve shareholder representatives were men and three were women. Four of the six employee representatives are men and two are women. The Supervisory Board therefore currently consists of twelve men (previously thirteen men) and five women and fulfills the minimum quota requirement pursuant to sec. 86 para. 7 of the Stock Corporation Act.
It is reported that no objection pursuant to sec. 86 para. 9 of the Stock Corporation Act has been raised either by the majority of the shareholders’ representatives or by the majority of the employees’ representatives and that, as a result, there is no separate fulfillment, but rather joint fulfillment of the minimum quota requirement pursuant to sec. 86 para. 7 of the Stock Corporation Act.
If there is no increase in the number of Supervisory Board members within the scope of the Articles of Association in relation to agenda item 6, “Elections to the Supervisory Board”, in the event of a potential nomination by shareholders, if the nomination is accepted it must be ensured that of the eighteen Supervisory Board members at least five are women.
When electing Supervisory Board members, the General Meeting shall take into account the criteria laid down in sec. 87 para. 2a of the Stock Corporation Act, in particular the professional and personal qualifications of the members, the professionally balanced composition of the Supervisory Board, aspects of diversity and international nature as well as professional reliability. Further, each person proposed must meet the requirements for the professional suitability, experience, personal reliability and availability in terms of time of the members of the Supervisory Board pursuant to sec. 28a para. 5 of the Banking Act at all times. Sec. 28a para. 3 of the Banking Act lays down further requirements for the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
Submission of a deposit certificate pursuant to sec. 10a of the Stock Corporation Act which, at the time of its submission to the Company, must not be more than seven days old, is required as proof of share ownership for the purposes of exercising these shareholder rights. Where there are several shareholders holding shares which only equal the required 1% of the share capital when taken together, or in the case of more than one deposit certificate for shares which only equal the required 1% when taken together, all deposit certificates must refer to the same effective date. With respect to the other requirements related to deposit certificates, reference is made to the information under Section C.
