At the 37th Annual General Meeting of RHI AG held on May 4, 2016 the
following resolution was adopted:

a) The Management Board shall be authorized in accordance with § 65
para. 1 (4) as well as para. 1a and para. 1b AktG to acquire, during
a period of validity of 30 months starting on May 4, 2016, up to
12,000 no-par bearer shares of the Company by purchasing such shares
both on an exchange and by off-market transactions, in each case at
the stock exchange price of the day this authorization is exercised.
The acquisition cannot be effected for the purpose of trading in
treasury shares. The authorization may be exercised in full or in
part or even in several tranches by the Company, by a subsidiary (§
228 para. 3 UGB) or for the account of the Company by third parties.

The Management Board of RHI AG may resolve to purchase on an exchange

afterwards. Any purchases by off-market transactions are subject to
prior approval by the Supervisory Board.

b) The Management Board shall be authorized for a period of five
years as from May 4, 2016 to decide in accordance with § 65 para. 1b
AktG, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to alienate and/or
use treasury shares in a way different from sale on an exchange or by
way of a public offer, with the regulations governing the exclusion
of the shareholders' subscription rights applying by analogy, and to
determine the terms of the alienation. The authorization may be
exercised in full or in part or even in several tranches by the
Company, by a subsidiary (§ 228 para. 3 UGB) or for the account of
the Company by third parties, for the purpose of implementing an
employee stock ownership program to issue shares to employees and
executives of the Company as well as to members of the management,
executives and employees of Group Companies (continuation of the
"employee stock ownership plan 4+1").
