proof of shareholding on the record date, a safe custody receipt pursuant to Section 10a Austrian Stock Corporation Act
must be submitted, which must be received by the Company no later than 14.05.2024 (12 p.m., CEST) exclusively via one

VII. NOTES TO SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS IN ACCORDANCE TO SECTION 109, 110, 118 UND 119 AUSTRIAN STOCK CORPORATION
ACT

1. Additions to the agenda by shareholders in accordance with section 109 Austrian Stock Corporation Act


Shareholders whose shares together amount to 5% of the share capital and who have been holders of these shares for at
least three months prior to the submission of the request may request in writing that additional items be placed on the
agenda of this Annual General Meeting and announced, provided that this request is received by the Company no later
than 26.04.2024 (12 p.m., CEST) by mail or messenger exclusively to the address FACC AG, Investor Relations Department,
Attn. Michael Steirer, Fischerstraße 9, 4910 Ried i. Innkreis, or by e-mail to the e-mail address
investor.relations@facc.com or by SWIFT to the address GIBAATWGGMS. "In writing" means signed by hand or in the company
of each applicant or, if sent by e-mail, with a qualified electronic signature or, if sent by SWIFT, with Message Type
MT598 or MT599, whereby ISIN AT00000FACC2 must be indicated in the text.

Each agenda item requested in this way must be accompanied by a proposal for a resolution together with the reasons for
the resolution. The agenda item and the proposed resolution, but not its justification, must in any case also be in
German, with the German text taking precedence in the event of a contradiction between the German text and the text in
the other language. The shareholder status shall be evidenced by the submission of a deposit certificate pursuant to
Section 10a Stock Corporation Act confirming that the shareholders submitting the proposal have been holders of the
shares for at least three months prior to the submission of the proposal and which may not be older than seven days at
the time of submission to the Company. In the case of several shareholders who only together reach the required
shareholding of 5% of the capital stock, the deposit confirmations for all shareholders must refer to the same point in
time (day, time).

With regard to the other requirements for the deposit certificate (safe custody receipt), reference is made to the
explanations on the eligibility to participate (Item III.).


2. Proposals for resolutions by shareholders on the agenda pursuant to Section 110 Austrian Stock
Corporation Act

Shareholders whose combined shareholdings amount to 1% of the share capital may submit proposals for resolutions on any
item on the agenda in text form, together with a statement of reasons, and may request that these proposals, together
with the names of the shareholders concerned, the statement of reasons to be attached and any comments by the
Management Board or the Supervisory Board, be made available on the company's website as entered in the commercial
register, provided that this request is made in text form no later than 07.05.2024 (12 p.m., CEST) to the company
either by fax to +43 732 7802 37555 or by mail or messenger to FACC AG, Investor Relations Department, Attn. Michael
Steirer, Fischerstraße 9, 4910 Ried i. Innkreis, or by e-mail to investor.relations@facc.com, whereby the request is to
be sent in text form, for example as a PDF, attached to the e-mail. If text form is required for declarations within
the meaning of Section 13 (2) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the declaration must be made in a document or in
another manner suitable for permanent reproduction in written characters, the person making the declaration must be
named and the conclusion of the declaration must be made recognizable by reproduction of the name signature or
otherwise. The proposed resolution, but not its justification, must in any case also be in German, whereby in the event
of a contradiction between the German text and the text in another language, the German text shall take precedence.

In the case of a proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member, the statement of the proposed person pursuant
to Section 87 (2) Austrian Stock Corporation Act shall take the place of the statement of reasons.

Shareholder status shall be evidenced by the submission of a deposit certificate (safe custody receipt) pursuant to
Section 10a Austrian Stock Corporation Act, which must not be older than seven days at the time of submission to the
Company. In the case of several shareholders who only together reach the required shareholding of 1% of the share
capital, the deposit confirmations for all shareholders must refer to the same point in time (day, time).

With regard to the other requirements for the safe custody receipt, reference is made to the explanations on the right
to participate (item III).

A proposed resolution which has been announced in accordance with § 110 (1) Austrian Stock Corporation Act may only be
voted on if it is repeated as a motion at the Annual General Meeting.


3. Shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 Austrian Stock Corporation Act

Each shareholder shall, upon request, be provided with information at the general meeting on matters concerning the
company to the extent that such information is necessary for the proper evaluation of an item on the agenda. The duty
to provide information shall also extend to the legal and business relations of the company with an affiliated
enterprise as well as to the situation of the group and the enterprises included in the consolidated financial
statements. The information must comply with the principles of conscientious and faithful accountability.

The information may be refused insofar as, according to reasonable business judgement, it is likely to cause
significant disadvantage to the company or an affiliated company, or its provision would be punishable by law. The
information may also be refused if it was continuously available on the company's website in the form of a question and
answer for at least seven days before the beginning of the general meeting. Requests for information must generally be
made orally at the Annual General Meeting, but shareholders are also welcome to request information in writing.

Shareholders are requested to submit questions requiring a longer preparation time in advance in text form by e-mail to
the address fragen.facc@hauptversammlung.at in time for them to reach the Company at the latest on the 2nd working day
before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. 15.05.2024 at 12:00 a.m. (CEST). From this point in time, and in particular
during the Annual General Meeting, it is not possible to submit questions to the Company electronically. This serves to
maintain the economy of the meeting in the interest of all participants in the Annual General Meeting, especially for
questions that require a longer preparation time. In this way, you will enable the Executive Board to prepare as
accurately as possible and to answer your questions as quickly as possible. The answering of questions submitted in
advance at the Annual General Meeting requires that these questions are asked by the shareholder during the general
debate.

If possible, please make use of the question form, which will be available on the Company's website at www.facc.com no
later than 26.04.2024 and attach the completed and signed form to the e-mail. A simple email from the identical email
address from which the question form was sent will then suffice for any further questions from the same shareholder. If
this question form is not used, the person of the shareholder (name/company, date of birth/company register number of
the shareholder) must be named and the conclusion of the declaration must be made recognizable by replicating the
signature of the name or otherwise, e.g. by stating the name/company (§ 13 para 2 AktG). In order to enable the Company
to establish the identity and conformity with the deposit certificate, we request that in this case you also state your
deposit number in the e-mail.


4. Motions by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Section 119 of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act (AktG)

Pursuant to section 119 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), every shareholder - irrespective of a specific
shareholding -, the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board are entitled to submit motions on any item on the agenda
at the Annual General Meeting. The prerequisite for this is proof of the right to attend. If there are several motions

===
on one item of the agenda, the chairman shall determine the order of voting in accordance with § 119 para 3 of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act. No resolution may be passed on an item of business that has not been duly announced as
an item on the agenda. A resolution proposed by a shareholder pursuant to § 110 of the Stock Corporation Act shall only
become a motion if it is repeated at the general meeting.

However, a shareholder proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member requires the timely submission of a
resolution proposal in accordance with Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act: Persons for election to the
Supervisory Board (item 7 of the agenda) may only be proposed by shareholders whose shares together amount to 1% of the
capital stock. Such election proposals must be received by the Company no later than 07.05.2024 in the manner specified
above (item 5.). Each election proposal must be accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 (2) of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act of the proposed person's professional qualifications, professional or comparable functions and
any circumstances that could give rise to concerns of partiality. Proposals for the election of Supervisory Board
members must be made available by the company, together with the aforementioned declarations, on the company's website
entered in the commercial register by 10 May 2024 at the latest, otherwise the person concerned may not be included in
the vote. Otherwise, the shareholder proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member may not be considered in
the vote. When electing Supervisory Board members, the Annual General Meeting must observe the criteria of Section 87
(2a) AktG, in particular the professional and personal qualifications of the members, the professionally balanced
composition of the Supervisory Board, aspects of diversity and internationality as well as professional reliability.
With regard to the information pursuant to Section 110 (2) sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86 (7) and (9) of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), reference is made to the comments under item 5.

5. Information pursuant to Section 110 (2) sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86 (7) and (9) Austrian
Stock Corporation Act

With regard to agenda item 7 "Elections to the Supervisory Board" and the possible submission of a corresponding
election proposal by shareholders in accordance with Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the Company makes the
following statements:

The Supervisory Board of FACC AG currently consists of six members elected by the Annual General Meeting (capital
representatives), one member delegated by the majority shareholder (capital representative) and four members delegated
by the Works Council pursuant to Section 110 Austrian Labor Constitution Act (ArbVG). Of the seven capital
representatives, six are men and one woman; of the employee representatives, three are women and one is a man.

FACC AG is subject to the scope of application of Section 86 para 7 Austrian Stock Corporation Act and has to comply
with the minimum shareholding requirement pursuant to Section 86 para 7 Austrian Stock Corporation Act.

An objection pursuant to Section 86 para 9 Austrian Stock Corporation Act was raised neither by the majority of the
capital representatives nor by the majority of the employee representatives, so that there is therefore no separate
fulfillment, but rather an overall fulfillment of the minimum shareholding requirement pursuant to Section 86 para 7
Austrian Stock Corporation Act.
The number of members of the Supervisory Board is reduced to seven shareholder representatives due to the resignation
of two members and the election of only one new member.
Accordingly, when submitting nominations for election by shareholders, care must be taken to ensure that, if the
nomination is accepted, at least three of the eleven Supervisory Board members are women and three are men in order to
fulfil the legally required 30% quota (overall fulfilment, "Gesamterfüllung").


6. Shareholder data protection information

FACC AG processes personal data of shareholders or their representatives (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a
(2) Austrian Stock Corporation Act, i.e. name, address, date of birth, number of the securities account, number of
shares held by the shareholder, class of shares, if applicable, number of the voting card and, if applicable, name and
date of birth of the proxy or proxies) on the basis of the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the
European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as the Austrian Data Protection Act and the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act, in order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights in the context of the Annual General Meeting.

The processsing of personal data of shareholders or their representatives is mandatory for the participation of
shareholders and their representatives in the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act. The
legal basis for the processing is therefore Article 6 (1) c) GDPR.

FACC AG is the controller for the processing. For the purpose of organizing the Annual General Meeting, FACC AG uses
external service providers, such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers. These only receive personal data
from FACC AG that is necessary for the execution of the commissioned service and process the data exclusively according
to the instructions of FACC AG. To the extent legally necessary, FACC AG has concluded a data protection agreement with
these service providers.

If a shareholder attends the Annual General Meeting, the special proxies, the members of the Management Board and
Supervisory Board, the notary public and all other persons with a legal right to attend may inspect the legally
required list of attendees (Section 117 Austrian Stock Corporation Act) and thereby also view the personal data
specified therein (including name, place of residence, shareholding). FACC AG is also required by law to submit
personal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the notarial record for the commercial
register (Section 120 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG)).

Shareholders' data is anonymized or deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was
collected or processed, and unless other legal obligations require further storage. Proof and storage 14 obligations
arise in particular from corporate, stock corporation and takeover law, from tax and duty law and from money laundering
prevention regulations. Insofar as legal claims are filed by shareholders against FACC AG or, conversely, by FACC AG
against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In
connection with legal proceedings before civil courts, this may result in the storage of data for the duration of the
statute of limitations plus the duration of the legal proceedings until their legally binding conclusion.

Every shareholder has a right of access, rectification, restriction, objection and deletion regarding the processing of
personal data at any time, as well as a right to data transfer in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR. Shareholders
may assert these rights against FACC AG free of charge via the e-mail address dataprivacy@facc.com or via the following
contact details: FACC AG, Fischerstraße 9, 4910 Ried i. Innkreis.

In addition, shareholders have a right of appeal to the data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77
GDPR.
