close of 27 February 2012 (Qualifying date).

By e-mail:   anmeldung.palfinger@hauptversammlung.at, the certificate of deposit

            must be attached to the e-mail in text form such as a PDF file

PALFINGER AG no longer accepts deposit certificates and statements  pursuant  to
sec. 114 para. 1,  sentence  four  of  the  Companies  Act  transferred  via  an
international, particularly secure communications network of  banks  (SWIFT)  as
other electronic communication channels (telefax and e-mail)  are  instead  made
available. This is due to the fact that, for the two  previous  AGMs,  PALFINGER
AG offered SWIFT as an electronic  form  of  communication  of  which  custodian
banks did not make use.

Certificates of deposit pursuant to sec. 10a of the Companies Act 

The certificate of deposit is to be issued by the relevant custodian  bank  with
its headquarters in a member state of the European Economic Area or  in  a  full
member state of the OECD and must include the following information:
 • information on the issuer: (corporate) name and address or any code that  is
   customarily used among credit institutions,
 • information on the shareholder: (corporate) name, address, date of birth for
   natural persons, and register and register number, if applicable, for  legal
   entities,
 • information on the shares: number of the shares  held  by  the  shareholder,
   ISIN AT0000758305, deposit number and/or other designation,
 • date to which the certificate of deposit refers.

The certificate of deposit as evidence of the shareholding  must  refer  to  the
above-mentioned Qualifying Date 27 February 2012.

The certificate of deposit may be delivered in German or English.

Shareholders  will  not  be  blocked  by  registering  for  the  AGM  and/or  by
submitting a certificate of deposit, which is why they may  continue  to  freely
dispose of their shares also after registering for the AGM and/or  submitting  a
certificate of deposit.

REPRESENTATION BY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVES

Shareholders  entitled  to  attend  the  Annual  General  Meeting  may   appoint
representatives who will take part in the meeting on behalf of such  shareholder
and have the same rights as the shareholders whom they represent.

Proxy must be given to a specific person (natural person  or  legal  entity)  in
text form; also several persons may be authorized.

Such proxy must be delivered to the Company exclusively at one of the  addresses
indicated below:

The rules  indicated  above  regarding  the  granting  of  proxy  apply  mutatis
mutandis to its revocation.

sufficient if the latter declares, in addition to delivery  of  the  certificate
of deposit, that it has been given proxy. With regard to the  delivery  of  such
authorization sec. 10a para. 3 of the Companies Act applies mutatis mutandis.

As a special service a representative of  the  "Interessenverband  für  Anleger"

available to shareholders as an independent proxy  bound  by  the  shareholders´
instructions for exercising their voting rights at the Annual  General  Meeting.
