Invitation
to the
34th Annual General Meeting
of shareholders
at A-1210 Vienna, "floridotower", Floridsdorfer Hauptstraße 1, 30th floor
taking place on Monday, 5 October 2020 at 10.00 am

In April 2020, the Company postponed the Annual General Meeting, originally scheduled for 20 May 2020, due to requirements imposed by the Austrian authorities and recommendations by experts to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In view of the positive development Austria has seen in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Management Board of the Company has now decided to hold this year's Annual General Meeting of Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs Aktiengesellschaft as an attended event.
It goes without saying that the company's top priority continues to be protecting the health of all attendees, especially the shareholders. We therefore ask for your understanding that appropriate preventive and safety measures will be taken in order to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19. To avoid concentrations of persons to the greatest possible extent and to be able to observe distance rules in compliance with legal requirements, we will therefore refrain from offering the traditional buffet following the Annual General Meeting. To minimize the potential risk of infection, organizational measures will be taken, particularly with regard to space and hygiene. Please also take into account that participants of the 34th Annual General Meeting are requested to bring and use a nose and mouth mask.
All these measures serve to protect the health of all participants. Together with you, our esteemed shareholders, we are making an important contribution in this challenging situation, with social responsibility in mind.
Although the Company always seeks direct and intensive dialogue with its shareholders, we recommend, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to use the option of authorizing an independent proxy holder, Mr. Florian Beckermann (representative of the Shareholder Association, IVA).
The Company reserves the right to take additional safety precautions to protect the health of all participants as well as to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19 as well as to cancel and reschedule the Annual General Meeting at short notice if the current situation changes.

Information on data protection for shareholders

Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs Aktiengesellschaft processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to section 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act, i.e. name, address, date of birth, number of the securities account, number of shares of the shareholder, type of share if applicable, number of the voting card and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the proxy) on the basis of the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act, in order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting.
The processing of shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the participation of shareholders and their representatives in the Annual General Meeting pursuant to the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Article 6 para 1 subpara c) GDPR, in particular in connection with the stock corporation provisions mentioned below.
Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs Aktiengesellschaft is responsible for the processing as the data controller. For the purpose of organizing the Annual General Meeting, the Company makes use of external service providers such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers. They will only receive personal data from the Company that is necessary for the execution of the commissioned service. Insofar as they act as contract processors, they process the data exclusively in accordance with the Company's instructions. To the extent legally necessary, the Company has concluded a data protection agreement with these service providers.
If a shareholder participates in the Annual General Meeting, all shareholders present or their representatives, the members of the management board and supervisory board, the notary and all other persons with a legal right to participate may inspect the legally prescribed list of participants (section 117 Austrian Stock Corporation Act) and thereby also inspect the personal data mentioned therein (including name, place of residence, shareholding). The Company is also legally obliged to submit personal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the notarial protocol to the companies register (section 120 Austrian Stock Corporation Act).
Shareholders' data will be anonymized or erased as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, and unless other legal obligations require further storage. Obligations to provide evidence and to retain records arise in particular from corporate, share and takeover law, tax law and money laundering regulations. If legal claims are raised by shareholders against the Company or vice versa by the Company against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with court proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to the storage of data for the duration of the statute of limitations plus the duration of the court proceedings up to its legally binding completion.
Every shareholder has a right to access rectification, restriction, objection and erasure with regard to the processing of personal data and a right to data portability in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR in accordance with the provisions of data protection law. Shareholders may exercise these rights vis-à-vis the Company free of charge via the e-mail address daniel.folian@warimpex.com or via the following contact details:
Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs Aktiengesellschaft
For the attention of Dr. Daniel Folian
Floridsdorfer Hauptstraße 1
1210 Vienna
In addition, shareholders have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR; in Austria this is the Data Protection Authority.
Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection declaration on the Company's website (www.warimpex.com) under "Data protection".
