company's treasury shares for the purpose of profit-making is expressly
excluded. The authorization can be exercised for the full or a partial

Vienna Stock Exchange preceding exercise of this authorization by more than
10 percent.
3. This resolution, as well as the buy-back program based thereon and any
resale program, are to be published, also stating their respective
durations.
4. The Executive Board is given authorization for a period of five years as
from the date of adopting the resolution and with approval from the
Supervisory Board to dispose or make use of the purchased treasury shares
for any legally permissible purpose also in a way other than by sale via
the stock exchange or by public offer and also to exclude the preemptive
rights of shareholders to purchase a certain quota thereof (exclusion of
