A proxy must be granted to a specific person (an individual or a legal entity) in text form (Section 13 para. 2 Stock Corporation Act), whereby several persons may be granted proxy.

V. INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS AS DEFINED IN SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 STOCK CORPORATION ACT

1. Amendments to the agenda by shareholders pursuant to Section 109 Stock Corporation Act
Shareholders who collectively hold shares corresponding to 5% of the share capital and who have held those shares for at least three months prior to filing a request may request in writing that additional items be included in the agenda of this shareholders' meeting; these shall be published, provided that such a request is received in writing by the Company no later than 8 May 2018 (midnight CET, local Vienna time), submitted by post or courier exclusively to the address 1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47, Department: Konzernmanagement. Every item so requested to be included in the agenda must be accompanied by a proposal for a resolution including a statement of the reasons. The shareholder status has to be evidenced by providing a deposit receipt as defined in Section 10a Stock Corporation Act, which certifies that the requesting shareholders have held their shares for at least three months prior to filing the request and such evidence must not be older than seven days at the time it is presented to the Company. With regard to other deposit receipt requirements, we refer to the information about the requirements for attending the shareholders´ meeting (item III. of this invitation).

Disclosures pursuant to Section 110 para. 2 (2) Stock Corporation Act
The Supervisory Board of PORR AG currently consists of nine members appointed by the general shareholders' meeting (shareholder representatives) and five members appointed by the Works Council in line with Section 110 of the Labour Constitutional Act. Seven of the nine shareholder representatives are men and two are women; of the five employee representatives, all five are men.
Section 86 para. 7 of the Stock Corporation Act applies to PORR AG.
Be informed that no objection pursuant to Section 86 para. 9 Stock Corporation Act has been made either by the majority of the shareholder representatives or the majority of the employee representatives and thereby the minimum share requirement pursuant to Section 86 para. 7 Stock Corporation Act has not only been partially fulfilled, but met in full.
Section 9 of the PORR AG Articles of Association specifies that the Supervisory Board consists of at least three and maximum twelve members appointed by the shareholders' meeting.
Should there be an amendment to the agenda that leads to Supervisory Board elections, attention shall be paid to fulfilling the minimum share requirement pursuant to Section 86 para. 7 Stock Corporation Act (30 % women), failing which the election shall be declared null and void.

2. Shareholders´ proposals for resolutions on the agenda pursuant to Section 110 Stock Corporation Act
Shareholders who collectively hold shares corresponding to 1% of the share capital may submit proposals for resolutions regarding any item on the agenda in text format and request that such proposals be made available on the Company's website registered with the companies register including the names of the shareholders concerned, the reasons for the same, which have to be included, and comments of the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board, if any. This is subject to such a request in text format being received by the Company no later than 17 May 2018 (midnight CET, local Vienna time) either to 1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47, Department: Konzernmanagement, or by fax to +43 (0)50626 99 99 72, or by email to office.km@porr.at, with the request to be attached to the email message in text format, e.g. as a PDF file.
In case of an addition to the agenda with regard to "Elections to the Supervisory Board", then the proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member shall be accompanied by a statement pursuant to section 87 paragraph 2 Stock Corporation Act rather than by a statement of reasons.
The shareholding required to be able to exercise this shareholder right must be evidenced by presentation of a deposit receipt as defined in Section 10a Stock Corporation Act, which must not be older than seven days at the time it is presented to the Company. With regard to other deposit receipt requirements, we refer to the information about the requirements for attending the shareholders´ meeting (item III. of this invitation).

3. Shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 Stock Corporation Act
At the shareholders' meeting every shareholder shall, upon request, be informed about corporate matters to the extent that such information is required for the proper assessment of an item on the agenda. The duty to provide information shall also include the Company´s legal and business relationships to affiliated companies as well as the state of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company may refuse to provide such information if reasonable business judgement suggests that disclosure of the same may cause a material disadvantage to the Company or an affiliate or may be a punishable offence.
The chairman of the shareholders´ meeting may, in accordance with Article 18 (2) of the Articles of Association, provide for a reasonable time limit on the shareholders´ right to ask questions and to speak. In particular, he may define general and individual restrictions with regard to speaking time and time for questioning at the beginning and also during the shareholders´ meeting.
Requests for information shall, in principle, be made orally at the shareholders´ meeting, but they may also be submitted in writing to the Company´s Management Board in advance. For reasons of procedural economy, any questions that require more extensive preparation for a full answer should be submitted in writing to the Management Board in good time and prior to the shareholders' meeting.
Questions may be sent to the Company by fax to +43 (0)50626 99 99 72 or by email to office.km@porr.at.

4. Shareholder requests at the shareholders´ meeting pursuant to Section 119 Stock Corporation Act
Every shareholder, irrespective of the number of shares s/he holds, is entitled to file a request at the shareholders' meeting with respect to any item on the agenda. If several requests have been filed regarding a specific item on the agenda, the chairman shall determine the order of voting pursuant to Section 119 para. 3 Stock Corporation Act.
Should there be an amendment to the agenda that leads to Supervisory Board elections, this nevertheless compulsorily requires a shareholder request for a proposal for a resolution in accordance with Section 110 Stock Corporation Act: candidates can only be proposed in a Supervisory Board election by shareholders who collectively hold 1% of the share capital. Election proposals of this kind must be submitted to the Company by 17 May 2018 at the latest in the manner described above (item V para. 2). Every election proposal shall be accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 para. 2 Stock Corporation Act listing the proposed candidate's qualifications and specialisms, his/her professional or comparable experience as well as any circumstances that could give rise to concerns of partiality. Otherwise the shareholder request for the election of a Supervisory Board member shall not be considered during the vote.

5. Information on the website
Further information on these shareholder rights as defined in Sections 109, 110, 118 and 119 Stock Corporation Act is available on the Company's website at www.porr-group.com/gm.
