IV. ABSENTEE VOTING BY MAIL Every shareholder is entitled to take
part in the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting by voting on the
resolutions contained in the agenda by mail, pursuant to Section 19
of the Articles of Association and Section 127 AktG. Submission of
votes must be done in written form by using the form (ballot) made
available by the Company for this purpose. The documents required for
absentee voting (ballot form, revocation, instruction sheet, return
envelope) will be sent upon request. Please request these materials
from the Investor Relations Department by calling +43 (0) 57767 -
30401 at the following times: Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and
Friday 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. The texts of the form and the instruction
sheet will also be available for downloading on the Company's Website
at www.post.at/ir no later than September 20, 2012.

In any case, the shareholder must include the following information
on the ballot form: name (corporate name) and place of residence
(headquarters) of the shareholder and the number of shares. Ballots
are only considered to be valid if signed by the shareholder. The
filled-out ballot form with the original signature of the shareholder
must be received by October 10, 2012 at the latest by the notary
public Rupert Brix at his postal address Seilerstätte 28, 1010
Vienna. Mr. Brix is serving as the authorised recipient of ballots on
behalf of Austrian Post for purposes of absentee voting by mail. The
notary public Rupert Brix will note on the envelope or on the ballot
the precise time in which the ballot was received and will ensure
that the voting behaviour of the shareholder taking advantage of
absentee voting by letter is neither made known to the Management
Board nor to the Supervisory Board nor to the other shareholders
before the voting takes place at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Shareholders should note that the votes submitted per absentee ballot
by mail are to be considered as invalid if the content of the
respective resolution voted upon by the Extraordinary General Meeting
is different than that stipulated on the absentee ballot form. If
necessary, the Company will make a new form (ballot) available on the
Website of the Company at www.post.at/ir for downloading in cases in
which the company receives admissible motions from shareholders
involving additions to the agenda pursuant to Section 109 AktG no
later than September 22, 2012 and/or admissible motions involving
resolutions pertaining to items on the agenda pursuant to Section 110
AktG by no later than October 2, 2012. Shareholders voting by mail
will naturally not be in a position to react to any events taking
place at the Extraordinary General Meeting or to vote on new
resolutions proposed within the context of the Extraordinary General
Meeting. A ballot submitted by mail can be revoked using the form
(revocation) placed on the Website by the company for this purpose.
The revocation is to be considered as legally valid if it is received
by the notary public Rupert Brix by fax at +43 (0) 1 512 46 11 - 28
no later than the end of day on October 10, 2012. A shareholder who
attends the Extraordinary General Meeting personally and who has
already voted on a resolution by mail is only to be permitted to
exercise his voting rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting if he
has rescinded his right to vote by mail in a timely manner, i.e. no
later than October 10, 2012 as described above. The failure to revoke
the absentee ballot precludes the shareholder from exercising his
shareholder rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In this
case, the shareholder will not have the right to speak or pose
question, to make proposals and in particular will not have the right
to exercise his voting rights or the right of objection. A
shareholder whose participation in voting takes the form of absentee
voting by mail is entitled to use the ballot to declare on a
precautionary basis his objection to the resolution to be considered
at the Extraordinary General Meeting. There are no other ways of
raising objections. It is expressly pointed out that the
pre-requisite for being entitled to voting by mail is limited to
shareholders who are in possession of shares on the record date, and
supply proof of such to the Company, i.e. the Company has received a
deposit confirmation (deposit certificate) pursuant to Section 10a
AktG no later than October 8, 2012 at one of the aforementioned
addresses. Shareholders who want to take part in the Extraordinary
General Meeting by using the opportunity of absentee voting by mail
must ensure the timely issuance and transmission of a deposit
confirmation pursuant to Section 10a AktG as described above -
similar to the procedure required of shareholders who want to
personally attend.

V. PARTICIPATION BY PROXY Every shareholder entitled to participate
in the Extraordinary General Meeting has the right to appoint a
representative who will attend the meeting on behalf of the
shareholder, and who is vested with the same rights as the
shareholder whom he/she represents. Proxy must be conferred on a
specific person (natural or legal) in text form. It is also possible
to appoint several proxy holders. The appointment of a proxy holder
must be received by the Company no later than October 10, 2012 at
4:00 p.m., exclusively at one of the following addresses: By fax: +43
(0) 1 8900 500 - 75 By E-mail: anmeldung.post@hauptversammlung.at, in
which case the proxy must be attached to the E-Mail in text form, for

Only on the day of the Extraordinary General Meeting: Personally -
when registering for the Extraordinary General Meeting at the
designated meeting place. The aforementioned requirements for
appointing a proxy holder shall apply analogously for the revocation
of the proxy. A form for the appointment (or revocation) of a proxy
holder will be sent to shareholders upon request, or can be
downloaded from the Company's Website at www.post.at/ir. If a
shareholder has appointed his/her depositary bank, the bank only
needs to submit notification of its appointment as the proxy holder
in addition to the deposit confirmation. The stipulations contained
in Section 10a Para. 3 AktG apply analogously to submitting this
declara-tion. It is important to note that the Company, the members
of the Management Board and Supervisory Board will not exercise proxy
voting rights assigned to them by shareholders exercising their
shareholder rights at the Extraordinary General Meeting. A special
service is available for shareholders. A representative of the
Austrian Shareholder Association IVA, Feldmühlgasse 22/4, 1130
Vienna, will serve as an independent proxy bound to comply with
instructions from the shareholder in exercising the shareholder's
voting rights. On the part of IVA, Mr. Michael Knap has been named to
represent these shareholders. To authorize Michael Knap to serve as
the proxy, a special proxy form is available for downloading on the
Website of the Company at www.post.at/ir, which must be received by
the Company only at one of the above-mentioned addresses (fax,
E-mail, mail). In addition, it is possible for the shareholder to
directly contact Mr. Michael Knap by phone at +43 (0) 1 8763343 - 30,
+43 (0) 664 2138740, by fax at +43 (0) 1 8763343 - 39 or by E-mail at
michael.knap@iva.or.at. The shareholder is required to precisely
instruct Mr. Michael Knap how he (or a designated authorized
sub-representative) is to exercise the shareholder's voting rights.
Mr. Michael Knap will exercise the voting rights of the shareholder
exclusively on the basis of the instructions submitted by the
shareholder. The proxy is to be considered invalid if no precise
instructions are contained in it. Please note that the proxy does not
accept any instructions to speak at the Extraordinary General
Meeting, to voice objections to any resolutions, to pose questions or
to make proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
