from the date of adopting the resolution to decide, with approval from the
Supervisory Board, on alienating own shares partially or entirely in a way
other than by sale via the stock exchange or by public offer, thereby also
excluding public purchase (exclusion of subscription rights) if such
alienation of own shares (i) serves to provide shares for a share option
program benefitting management and Executive Board members or (ii) serves
as a consideration in the acquisition of companies, businesses, business
units or shares in companies."Graz-Andritz, March 2011 The Executive Board
