II. RECORD DATE AND PARTICIPATION IN THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The
right to participate in the Annual General Meeting and to exercise
voting rights and all other shareholder rights in the course of the
Annual General Meeting depend on the shares held at the end of day on
April 8, 2013 (record date). Participation in the Annual General
Meeting is limited to persons who are in possession of shares on the
record date, and supply proof of such to the Company. The safe
custody receipt (deposit confirmation) pursuant to Section 10a
Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) shall suffice as proof of
shareholding on the record date. This confirmation of holdings must
be received by the Company no later than April 15, 2013 at one of the

anmeldung.post@hauptversammlung.at By mail: c/o
HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, Re: Post HV, Waldgasse 9, 2443
Stotzing, AUSTRIA

Austrian Post does not accept safe custody receipts according to
Section 114 Para. 1 (sentence 4) AktG that are transferred via an
internationally widespread, particularly secured communication
network of banks (SWIFT) as other electronic ways of communication
(fax and e-mail) are opened. This is because Austrian Post provided
SWIFT as an electronic way of communication at previous Annual
General Meetings. However, the depository banks did not make any use
of it.

III. DEPOSIT CONFIRMATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 10a AKTG Safe custody
receipts are to be issued by the depositary bank based in a member
state of the European Economic Area or in a full member state of the
OECD, and must contain the following information: - Information on
the issuer: name/company and address or code commonly used in
business transactions between banks, - Information on the
shareholder: name/company, address, date of birth for natural
persons, register and registration number for legal persons, -
Information on the shares: number of shares held by the shareholder,
ISIN AT0000APOST4, - Securities custody account number or another
designation, - Date or period of time to which the safe custody
receipt refers to. The safe custody receipt as evidence of the
shareholding as the basis for participating in the Annual General
Meeting must refer to the above-mentioned record date of April 8,
2013. The safe custody receipt will be accepted in German or in
English.

IV. ABSENTEE VOTING BY MAIL Every shareholder is entitled to take
part in the upcoming Annual General Meeting by voting 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 form,
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 March 28, 2013.

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 April 15, 2013 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 mail 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 Annual 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 Annual 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 March 28, 2013
and/or admissible motions involving resolutions pertaining to items
on the agenda pursuant to Section 10 AktG by no later than April 9,
2013. Shareholders voting by mail will naturally not be in a position
to react to any events taking place at the Annual General Meeting or
to vote on new resolutions proposed within the context of the Annual
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 April 17, 2013. A shareholder
who attends the Annual 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 Annual General Meeting if he has rescinded his
right to vote by mail in a timely manner, i.e. no later than April
17, 2013 as described above. The failure to revoke the absentee
ballot precludes the shareholder from exercising his shareholder
rights at the Annual General Meeting. In this case, the shareholder
is only allowed to participate as a guest, without 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 Annual 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 safe custody receipt
pursuant to Section 10a AktG no later than April 15, 2013 at one of
the aforementioned addresses. Shareholders who want to take part in
the Annual General Meeting by using the opportunity of absentee
voting by mail must ensure the timely issuance and transmission of a
safe custody receipt 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 Annual 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 April 17, 2013 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
example as a PDF file By mail: c/o HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH, Re:
Post HV, Waldgasse 9, 2443 Stotzing, AUSTRIA Only on the day of the
Annual General Meeting: Personally - when registering for the Annual
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 safe custody
receipt. The stipulations contained in Section 10a Para. 3 AktG apply
analogously to submitting this declaration.

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 Annual General Meeting.

An additional 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, 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 Annual General Meeting, to voice objections to any resolutions,
to pose questions or to make proposals at the Annual General Meeting.
