If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Investor Relations Team (tel.: 0043 732 6794 5899, e-mail: ir@rosenbauer.com).
Please note that, due to the high number of participants at our General Meetings in the past, a maximum of two persons will be granted entry per deposit certificate (one shareholder and one proxy or two proxies in place of the shareholder) due to organizational reasons related to the buffet.

6. Information on shareholder data protection
Rosenbauer International AG processes shareholders' personal data (chiefly data in accordance with Section 10a para 2 AktG, name, address, date of birth, securities account number, number of shares, where applicable share class, number of voting card and, where applicable, name and date of birth of any voting proxies) on the basis of valid data protection regulations, primarily the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act so that shareholders can exercise their rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Shareholders' personal data must be processed in order for shareholders and their representatives to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) c) GDPR.
Rosenbauer International AG is the controller for the purposes of processing. Rosenbauer International AG uses external service companies, such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers, to arrange the Extraordinary General Meeting. Rosenbauer International AG provides them only with the personal data required to perform the service in question and they process the data exclusively as instructed by Rosenbauer International AG. Where required by law, Rosenbauer International AG has concluded a data protection agreement with these service companies.
If a shareholder attends the Extraordinary General Meeting, all shareholders/representatives, members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and all other persons who are legally entitled to attend the meeting can view the legally required list of participants (Section 117 AktG) and can thus also view the personal data in this list (including name, residence, shareholding). Rosenbauer International AG is also legally required to submit personal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) to the commercial register as part of the notarial record (Section 120 AktG).
Shareholder data is rendered anonymous or erased once it is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is collected or processed, provided no other legal obligations require further retention. Documentary evidence and retention obligations arise in particular from company law, stock corporation law, takeover law, tax law and anti-money laundering regulations. If shareholders assert legal claims against Rosenbauer International AG or Rosenbauer International AG asserts legal claims against shareholders, the storage of personal data is used on a case-by-case basis to clarify and enforce claims. In connection with court 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 they are legally concluded.
All shareholders have the right to access, rectification, restriction, objection and erasure regarding the processing of personal data and the right to data portability in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR at all times. Shareholders can assert these rights to Rosenbauer International AG free of charge using the e-mail address dataprivacy@rosenbauer.com or the contact details below:
