Annual General Meeting
Key proposals 2014
Share split 1:5 to increase liquidity and ease of trading
• Technical step due to Austrian law requiring calculated nominal share value to be at least EUR 1.00:
Reallocation of equity funds to increase calculated nominal share value before split
• Split 1:5 into 72.9m shares with calculated nominal value of EUR 1.00
Long term employee incentive plan (LTIP) 2014
• No vesting over first three years of plan, no time-based vesting, first vesting H2 2017
• Vesting contingent on two hurdle criteria:
3-year EPS growth + 3-year total shareholder return vs. industry benchmark
• LTIP 2014 can be covered via treasury shares or new shares (conditional capital)
• ONLY IF hurdle criteria are fully met AND no options are covered via treasury shares,
customary share count increase of up to 2% p.a. averaged over 5-year life of plan
• Elimination of existing large conditional capital and creation of new conditional capital solely in the
amount of LTIP – same relative size as 2009 conditional capital
