V. INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 AktG
1. Amendments to the agenda by shareholders pursuant to Section 109 AktG
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 Annual General Meeting and pub-lished, provided that such a request is received in writing by mail or courier no later than on 30 April 2024 (12:00 p.m., CEST) by the Company exclusively at the address 1100 Vienna, Laaer-Berg-Straße 43, to the attention of Mag. Ralf Mikolasch, or by e-mail with qualified electronic signature to the e-mail address hauptversammlung@ubm-development.com or by SWIFT to the address GIBAATWGGMS. "In writing" means with a personal hand-written signature or the com-pany's legally binding signature by each applicant or, if submitted by e-mail, with a qualified electronic signature, or, if submitted via SWIFT, with message type MT598 or MT599, where the text must in any case also state ISIN code AT0000815402.
Each agenda item so requested must include a resolution proposal and state the reason for the request. The agenda item and the proposed resolution, but not the reasons for the resolution, must also be worded in German. Proof of shareholding must be provided by submitting a de-posit receipt pursuant to Section 10a AktG which certifies that the shareholders making the request have held the shares for at least three months before submitting the request and which must not be more than seven days old at the time of submission to the Company. Several de-posit receipts on shares that only in the aggregate constitute a shareholding of 5% must refer to the same time and date.
With regard to the other requirements relating to the deposit receipt, reference is made to the explanations on the requirements for participating in the Annual General Meeting (item III. of this convening notice).
2. Shareholders' proposals for resolutions on the agenda pursuant to Section 110 AktG
Shareholders who collectively hold shares corresponding to 1% of the share capital may sub-mit proposals for resolutions regarding any item on the agenda in text form, including a statement of the reasons, and may request that such proposals be made available on the Company's website registered with the companies register including the names of the share-holders concerned, the reasons to be provided and comments of the Management Board or the Supervisory Board, if any, if this request is received by the Company in text form no later than 8 May 2024 (12:00 p.m., CEST) either by mail or courier at 1100 Vienna, Laaer-Berg-Straße 43, to the attention of Mag.

If text form is required pursuant to Section 13 (2) AktG for declarations, the dec-laration must be submitted in a certificate or in another way using written characters suitable for permanent reproduction, stating the identity of the person making the statement and indicating the confirmation of the declaration by a facsimile of the person's signature or by other means. The proposed resolution, but not the reasons for it, must also be worded in German.
In the case of a proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member, the declaration of the proposed person pursuant to Section 87 (2) AktG replaces the reasoning.
Proof of shareholding must be provided by submitting a deposit receipt pursuant to Sec-tion 10a AktG, which must not be more than seven days old at the time of submission to the Company. Several deposit receipts on shares that only in the aggregate constitute a sharehold-ing of 1% must refer to the same time and date.
With regard to the other requirements relating to the deposit receipt, reference is made to the explanations on the requirements for participating in the Annual General Meeting (item III. of this convening notice).
3. Information pursuant to Section 110 (2) sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86 (7) and (9) AktG
The Company provides the following information on agenda item 7 "Election of the Supervisory Board" and the possible submission of a corresponding election proposal by shareholders in accordance with Section 110 AktG:
Section 86 (7) AktG is applicable to UBM Development AG.
The Supervisory Board of UBM Development AG currently consists of eight members elected by the General Meeting (shareholder representatives) and four members delegated by the Works Council in accordance with Section 110 ArbVG (Employment Constitution Act; Ar-beitsverfassungsgesetz – ArbVG). Of the eight shareholder representatives, five are men and three are women; of the four employee representatives, three are men and one is a woman.
It is announced that the majority of the shareholder representatives have raised an objection pursuant to Section 86 (9) AktG, so that the minimum quota requirement (Mindestanteilsgebot) pursuant to Section 86 (7) AktG will not be fulfilled in its entirety, but will be fulfilled separately.
In accordance with Article 9 (1) of the articles of association of UBM Development AG, the Supervisory Board consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve members elected by the General Meeting and of the members delegated pursuant to Section 110 (1) ArbVG.
If there is no increase in the number of members under agenda item 7 "Election of the Supervi-sory Board" in line with the articles of association, it is to be ensured when submitting an elec-tion proposal by shareholders that, if the election proposals are accepted, at least two women will be members of the Supervisory Board.
4. Shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 AktG
Each shareholder, upon request, is to be provided with information on the Company's matters at the Annual General Meeting to the extent that such information is necessary for the proper assessment of an item of the agenda. The obligation to provide information shall also include the Company´s legal and business relationships to affiliated companies as well as to the situa-tion of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company may refuse to provide such information if reasonable business judgement sug-gests that disclosure of the same may cause a material disadvantage to the Company or an affiliate or may be a punishable offence.
Pursuant to Article 19 (2) of the articles of association, the chairman of the Annual General Meeting may reasonably limit the time allowed for shareholders to ask questions and speak. He may, in particular at the beginning, but also during the Annual General Meeting, impose general and individual restrictions on the time allowed for speaking and asking questions.
Requests for information must generally be made orally at the Annual General Meeting, but may also be made in writing.
For the sake of efficiency, questions that require lengthy preparation to be answered shall be submitted to the Management Board in text form in good time prior to the Annual General Meet-ing. Questions can be sent to the Company by email to hauptversammlung@ubm-development.com.
5. Shareholder requests at the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Section 119 AktG
Each shareholder, irrespective of the number of shares s/he holds, is entitled to file a request at the Annual General Meeting with respect to any item on the agenda. If there are several re-quests relating to an item on the agenda, the chairman shall determine the order of voting in accordance with Section 119 (3) AktG.
However,a shareholder request regarding agenda item 7 "Election of the Supervisory Board" requires the timely submission of a resolution proposal in accordance with Section 110 AktG:
Persons may be nominated for election to the Supervisory Board by shareholders whose shares together amount to 1% of the share capital. Such nominations must be received by the Company in the above-mentioned manner by 8 May 2024 at the latest . Each nomination must be accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 (2) AktG from the proposed person regarding their professional qualifications, their professional or comparable functions and any circumstances that could give rise to concerns of bias. Otherwise, the shareholder proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member may not be considered in the vote.
With regard to the information pursuant to Section 110 (2) sentence 2 in conjunction with Sec-tion 86 (7) and (9) AktG, reference is also made to point V. (3) of this convening.
6. Information on data protection
UBM Development AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a (2) AktG, 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 within the framework of the Annual General Meeting.
The processing of shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the participation of sharehold-ers and their proxies at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Article 6 (1) c) GDPR, in particular in con-nection with the provisions of stock corporation law mentioned below.
UBM Development AG is the responsible party for the processing. UBM Development AG uses external service providers such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers for the purpose of organising the Annual General Meeting. UBM Development AG will only provide these service providers with personal data that is necessary for the execution of the services they have been commissioned with. Insofar as they act as data processors, they process the data exclusively in accordance with the instructions of UBM Development AG. Where legally necessary, UBM Development AG has concluded a data protection agreement with these ser-vice providers.
If a shareholder attends the Annual General Meeting, all shareholders present or their proxy holders, the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and all other persons with a legal right to attend may inspect the legally prescribed list of participants (Section 117 AktG) and thereby also inspect the personal data mentioned therein (i.a. name, place of residence, shareholding). UBM Development AG is also legally obliged to submit per-sonal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the notarial minutes to the companies register (Section 120 AktG).
Shareholders' data will be anonymized or deleted 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 particu-lar from corporate law, stock corporation law and takeover law, tax law and money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by shareholders against UBM Development AG or vice versa by UBM Development AG 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 in accordance with the provisions of data protection law has a right to in-formation, correction, restriction, objection and deletion with regard to the processing of personal data and a right to data transmission in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR. Shareholders can assert these rights against UBM Development AG free of charge via the email address datenschutz@ubm-development.com or via the following contact details:
UBM Development AG
Phone: +43 50 626-2600
Laaer-Berg-Straße 43
1100 Vienna
In addition, shareholders have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority pur-suant 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 website of UBM Development AG at www.ubm-development.com.
VI. FURTHER INFORMATION AND NOTES
Total number of shares and voting rights
