Convocation

of the 93^rd Annual General Meeting
of EVN AG

which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 3 February 2022, at 10:00 am
(CET)
in the EVN Forum, EVN Platz, AT-2344 Maria Enzersdorf

as a virtual general meeting without the physical presence of shareholders

in accordance with the following Austrian law and regulation:
„Gesellschaftsrechtliches COVID-19-Gesetz (COVID-19-GesG)“ and
„Gesellschaftsrechtliche COVID-19-Verordnung (COVID-19-GesV)“

In view of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, the Executive Board has
decided, after careful evaluation and for the protection of shareholders
and other participants, to also hold the 93^rd Annual General Meeting
without the physical presence of shareholders. The organisation of the
Annual General Meeting in virtual form is necessary and in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders considering current
developments and after careful assessment by the Executive Board.

The Annual General Meeting of EVN AG on 3 February 2022 will therefore be
held as a „Virtual Annual General Meeting“ in accordance with Austrian
law („Gesellschaftsrechtliches COVID-19-Gesetz“, „COVID-19-GesG“, BGBl
I 16/2020) in the current version and the related regulation issued by the
Federal Ministry of Justice („Gesellschaftsrechtliche
COVID-19-Verordnung“, „COVID-19-GesV“, BGBl II 140/2020) in the current
version.

One particular result of the organisation of the Annual General Meeting as
a Virtual Annual General Meeting in accordance with the „COVID19-GesV“
is that shareholders and their representatives (with the exception of the
specially designated voting representatives defined by Article 3 para. 4
of the „COVID-19-GesV“ regulation) cannot be physically present at the
meeting for reasons related to health protection but will be able to
follow the Annual General Meeting visually and acoustically in real time
over the internet.

In accordance with Article 3 para. 4 of the „COVID-19-GesV“ regulation,
voting as well as the right to propose motions and the right to raise
objections can only be exercised through the designation of a proxy and
the issuance of instructions to one of the voting representatives
recommended by the Company.

Shareholders can independently exercise the right to request information
at the Virtual Annual General Meeting via electronic communications, i.e.
by sending their questions in text form to the following e-mail address:
fragen.evn@hauptversammlung.at.

Transmission of the Annual General Meeting on the internet

The Annual General Meeting will be transmitted in real time and in full on

Representation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting by specially
designated voting representatives in accordance with Article 3 para. 4 of
the „COVID-19-GesV“ regulation

Every shareholder entitled to participate in the Virtual Annual General
Meeting has the right to appoint a representative to participate in the
Virtual Annual General Meeting on his/her behalf pursuant to the
„COVID-19-GesV“ regulation and to exercise his/her shareholder’s rights.
The shareholder is not restricted as to the number of persons designated
as representatives or to their selection.

In accordance with Article 3 para. 4 of the „COVID-19-GesV“ regulation,
the rights to propose motions, to vote and to raise objections at the
Virtual Annual General Meeting can only be exercised by one of the
following specially designated voting representatives.

Every shareholder who is entitled to participate in the Virtual Annual
General Meeting and who has demonstrated this entitlement to the Company
according to the requirements of the convocation to the Annual General
Meeting is entitled to select one of the following specially designated
voting representatives:

* Dr. Michael Knap
c/o Interessenverband für Anleger
Feldmühlgasse 22
AT-1130 Vienna
[5]knap.evn@hauptversammlung.at

 

* Dr. Christoph Nauer LL.M.
Attorney
c/o bpv Hügel Rechtsanwälte GmbH
Enzersdorferstraße 4
AT-2340 Mödling
[6]nauer.evn@hauptversammlung.at

 

* Mag. Ewald Oberhammer LL.M.
Attorney
c/o Oberhammer Rechtsanwälte GmbH
Karlsplatz 3/1
AT-1010 Vienna
[7]oberhammer.evn@hauptversammlung.at

 

* Mag. Gernot Wilfling
Attorney
c/o MÜLLER PARTNER RECHTSANWÄLTE GMBH
Rockhgasse 6
AT-1010 Vienna
[8]wilfling.evn@hauptversammlung.at

Every shareholder is free to select to a specially designated voting
representative from among the above-named persons and to grant a power of
attorney to the selected representative. The costs for this specially
designated voting representation will be carried by the Company. All other
costs, in particular bank charges for the certificate of deposit or
mailing costs, must be carried by the shareholder.

The form provided on the Company’s website under [9]www.evn.at/AGM can be
used to issue a power of attorney and instructions to one of the specially
designated voting representatives. The power of attorney must be sent to
and kept on file by the Company.

The specially designated voting representatives can be reached directly
under the above contact data and should be contacted on a timely basis if
there are specific instructions.

In order to verify their identity, we kindly ask shareholders to enter
their e-mail address in the appropriate field on the form used to issue a
power of attorney. This form will also be used for submitting instructions
to the specially designated voting representative (instructions, proposals
for motions or objections) or for questions and comments to the Company.
The shareholder data in the certificate of deposit must agree with the
data on the power of attorney (otherwise, the power of attorney could be
declared invalid).

If a power of attorney is issued to a person other than one of the
above-mentioned specially designated voting representatives, an effective
chain of authorisations (subsidiary powers of attorney) must ensure that
the specially designated voting representative is authorised to exercise
the shareholder’s voting right, rights to propose motions and to raise
objections. The designation of another person to exercise these rights at
the Virtual Annual General Meeting is not possible under the
„COVID-19-GesV“ regulation and is therefore invalid.

A shareholder can issue a power of attorney to the credit institution
maintaining the custody account – after consultation with the institution.
In this case, a statement by the latter attached to the certificate of
deposit confirming that it has been granted a power of attorney will be
sufficient. This statement should be sent to the Company at one of the
above addresses (see the above information under certificates of deposit),
and the power of attorney must not be sent to the Company. The credit
institution maintaining the custody account must utilise one of the
recommended specially designated voting representatives for the proposal
of motions, voting and raising objections at the Annual General Meeting.

Completed and signed powers of attorney must be sent to the Company in
text form at one of the following addresses for receipt no later than 01
February 2022, 16:00 (CET):

This form of transmission ensures that the shareholder’s specially
designated voting representative has direct access to the power of
attorney.

The shareholder is entitled to cancel a granted power of attorney, whereby
the cancellation only takes effect when it is received by the Company.

The personal presentation of a power of attorney at the site of the Annual
General Meeting is not permitted.

We kindly ask shareholders to use the forms provided in order to
facilitate processing.

The form provided for the power of attorney includes details on issuing a
power of attorney, in particular on the text form, on the content of the
power of attorney and on the granting of instructions.

The above provisions regarding the granting of a power of attorney also
apply analogously to its cancellation.

for these shareholders must be issued on the same date and at the same
time. The other requirements for depository confirmation are explained
under the above section on attendance. All requests by shareholders must
be received by the Company no later than the 21^st day before the Annual

Supervisory Board. These requests must be taken into account if they are
received by the Company on or before the seventh working day prior to the

related to the election of a member to the Supervisory Board, the

For bearer shares, the proof of shareholding must be verified by a

Information pursuant to Article 110 para. 2 sentence 2 in connection with
Article 86 paras. 7 and 9 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act

With regard to nominations for the election of Supervisory Board members,
it should be noted that Article 86 para. 7 of the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act is applicable to the Company. The Supervisory Board of EVN
AG currently consists of ten members elected by the Annual General Meeting
(shareholder representatives) and five members delegated by the Works
Council in accordance with Article 110 of the Austrian Labour Constitution
Act. As of the convocation date for this Annual General Meeting, three of
the ten shareholder representatives and two of the five employee
representatives were women. No objections have been raised pursuant to
Article 86 para. 9 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act against the total
fulfilment of the quota by the shareholder representatives or employee
representatives.

Based on an unchanged number of Supervisory Board members, the fifteen
Supervisory Board members must include at least five women and five men.

Proposals for motions at der Annual General Meeting pursuant to Article
119 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act

Every shareholder – independent of his or her shareholding – is entitled
to propose motions for any point of the agenda at the Virtual Annual
General Meeting in accordance with the „COVID-19-GesV“ regulation
through his or her specially designated voting representative. In order to
make a proposal, the shareholder must supply proof of participation and
the issuance of a power of attorney to one of the specially designated
voting representatives. Voting will only take place on a proposed motion,
which has been published on the Company’s website in accordance with
Article 110 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, when it is repeated as
a motion at the Annual General Meeting.

A shareholder’s proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member
requires the timely submission of a proposed motion pursuant to Article
110 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (see above). Every such proposal
must be accompanied by a declaration according to Article 87 para. 2 of
the Austrian Stock Corporation Act by the recommended person concerning
his or her specialised qualifications, professional or comparable
functions and any other circumstances which could give rise to concerns
over partiality. Otherwise, the shareholder’s proposal for the election of
a Supervisory Board member must not be presented for voting.

Shareholders‘ right to receive information pursuant to Article 118 of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act

Pursuant to Article 118 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, each
shareholder is entitled during the Annual General Meeting to request and
receive information concerning the Company’s business to the extent this
information is necessary for proper understanding of an item on the
agenda. The obligation to provide information also covers the Company’s
legal and business relationships with its affiliates, the position of the
Group and the entities included in the consolidated financial statements.
This information must reflect the principles of true and conscientious
accountability. 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 affiliates or that disclosure
would lead to prosecution. A request for information may also be refused
in cases where the information was available under the „Questions and
Answers“ section of the Company’s website for a minimum of seven days
before the start of the Annual General Meeting.

It is expressly noted that the right to receive information pursuant to
Article 118 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act during the Annual
General Meeting can be independently exercised by shareholders,
exclusively through the submission of their questions via e-mail to
fragen.evn@hauptversammlung.at.

Further information on shareholders‘ rights, particularly the rights under
Articles 109, 110, 118 and 119 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, is
also provided on the Company’s website under [13]www.evn.at/AGM.
Additional information in connection with the conduct of the Annual
General Meeting as a Virtual Annual General Meeting, above all on the
exercise of voting rights, the right to propose motions and raise
objections, and to submit questions, is provided under „Information on
the organisational and technical requirements for participation in the
Virtual Annual General Meeting pursuant to Article 3 para. 3 in connection
with Article 2 para. 4 of the „COVID-19-GesV“ regulation“, which will
be available at the latest on 13 January 2022 on the Company’s website, as
recorded in the company register, under [14]www.evn.at/AGM.

Data protection statement for the shareholders of EVN AG

EVN AG, EVN Platz, 2344 Maria Enzersdorf, is responsible for the
processing of shareholders‘ personal data. EVN AG processes shareholders‘
personal data, in particular the data defined by Article 10a para. 2 of
the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, i.e. name, address, date of birth,
bank data, securities depository number, number of shares held by the
shareholder, if appropriate the class of shares, number of the voting card
and, if necessary, the name and date of birth of the power of attorney(s),
in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular
the European Data Protection Regulation (EU-DPR) and the Austrian Data
Protection Act. This personal data is processed to enable shareholders to
exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting. To the extent
necessary, the above-mentioned personal data will also be processed in
connection with the Virtual Annual General Meeting to enable shareholders
to exercise their rights at this Virtual Annual General Meeting. EVN AG
obtains this personal data directly from the shareholders or from the
respective depository institution.

The Austrian Stock Corporation Act requires the processing of the personal
data of shareholders or their representatives for the participation of
shareholders and their representatives in the Annual General Meeting. The
conduct of a (Virtual) Annual General Meeting is not possible without the
processing of the above-mentioned personal data. The legal basis for this
processing is provided by Article 6 para. 1 letter c of the EU-DPR. EVN AG
uses service providers such as notaries, banks and IT firms to organise
the Annual General Meeting. These service providers only receive the
personal data required for their specific services and process the data
according to instructions issued by EVN AG. Where legally required, EVN AG
has concluded a data protection agreement with the service companies. When
a shareholder or his/her representative takes part in the Annual General
Meeting, all attending shareholders and their representatives, the members
of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and all other
authorised persons can examine the legally required attendance list
(Article 117 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act) and therefore also see
the included personal data (among others, name, place of residence,
participating interest). EVN AG is also legally required to file
shareholders‘ personal data (in particular, the attendance list) with the
company register as part of the notary’s minutes (Article 120 of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act). Without this data processing EVN AG would
be unable to meet its legal obligations, in particular under Article 120
of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act.

The personal data of shareholders and their representatives is deleted or
anonymised as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which
it was collected or processed and when further storage is not required to
meet other legal obligations. Record-keeping and storage obligations
arise, in particular, from commercial, stock corporation and takeover law,
from tax and levy laws and from money laundering laws. The storage of
personal data enables the clarification and enforcement of claims in
individual cases when shareholders raise legal claims against EVN AG or,
conversely, when EVN AG raises legal claims against shareholders. In
connection with legal proceedings in civil courts, this can lead to the
storage of data for the length of the statutory limitation period and the
length of legal proceedings up to their final termination.

Shareholders and their representatives have the right, at all times, to
information, rectification, restriction, objection and erasure related to
the processing of personal data as well as the right to data portability
as defined in Article III of the EU-DPR. Shareholders and their
representatives can exercise this right towards EVN AG free of charge by
contacting the data protection officer under datenschutz@evn.at or as
follows:

EVN AG
Data Protection Officer
EVN Platz
AT-2344 Maria Enzersdorf

In accordance with Article 77 of the EU-DPR, shareholders also have the
right to file a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority
([15]dsb@dsb.gv.at).

Total number of shares and voting rights as of the notice date for the
meeting
(Article 106 no. 9 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act)

As of the convocation date for the Annual General Meeting, the Company’s
share capital was divided into in 179,878,402 zero par value bearer
shares. Each share confers one vote. The Company holds 1,697,245 treasury
shares. The total number of voting rights, after the deduction of the
shares which do not confer voting rights, amounts to 178,181,157. There is
only one class of shares.

It is again expressly noted, with a request for understanding, that the
physical participation of shareholders and guests at the Annual General
Meeting is not possible in order to protect the health of all
participants.

Further information on the Annual General Meeting, etc. is provided on the
Company’s website under [16]www.evn.at/AGM.
