The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of Austrian
Airlines Österreichische Luftverkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft held on 2
November 2006 has passed a resolution to implement a simplified
capital reduction under sections 182 et seq. of the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz). As a result of the resolution, the
calculated notional amount per share of EUR 7.27 will be reduced to
EUR 3.00 and the nominal share capital will be reduced by EUR
145,180,000, from its previous figure of EUR 247,180,000 to EUR
102,000,000.

In addition to this, a resolution was passed to revoke the
authorisation of the Board of Management of 22 May 2006, in
accordance with § 169 of the Stock Corporation Act, to increase
the share capital by 12 August 2011 by up to EUR 123,590,000
through the issue up to 17 million individual share certificates
against a cash deposit.

A resolution was also reached to carry out an ordinary capital
increase by issuing a maximum volume of up to 68 million bearer
shares with no par value. The capital increase should be
implemented this year by way of an "at market bookbuilt
offering". One shareholder abstained on all the points of order
on which a vote was held. Afterwards he entered an objection which
was documented in the minutes.
