SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING

ams AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to
sec. 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act ("AktG"), i.e. name, address,
date of birth, number of the securities account, number of shares of the
shareholder, if applicable share class, number of the voting card, and, if
applicable, name and date of birth of the authorized representative[s]) in
accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the European
General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Austrian Data Protection
Act, in order to enable the shareholders to exercise their rights at the general
meeting.

The processing of the personal data of shareholders is a mandatory requirement
for the attendance and participation of shareholders and their representatives
at the general meeting. The legal basis for processing is Article 6 para 1 lit.
(c) GDPR.
ams AG is the responsible body for processing. ams AG makes use of several
external service providers (such as for example public notaries, attorneys,
banks, IT-providers, etc) for the purposes of holding of the general meeting.
These service providers of ams AG will only receive certain personal data from
ams AG which are necessary for the rendering of the commissioned service and
will process the data exclusively pursuant to the instructions of ams AG. ams AG
has concluded respective agreements under data protection laws with these
service providers to the extent legally required.
If a shareholder attends the general meeting, all present shareholders or their
representatives, the members of the management board and the supervisory board,
the notary public and all other persons with a statutory right to attend the
general meeting are entitled to inspect the legally required attendance list
(sec. 117 AktG) and, therefore, able to see the personal data contained in such
list (inter alia name, residence, shareholding). Moreover, ams AG is required by
statutory law to submit personal data of shareholders (in particular the list of
attendees) as part of the notarial protocol to the company register (sec. 120
AktG).
The data of shareholders 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. Such statutory
documentation and retention obligations are particularly resulting from
commercial law, stock corporation law, takeover law, tax law as well as from
anti-money laundering laws. If legal claims are asserted by shareholders against
ams AG or by ams AG against shareholders, the stored personal data serves the
purpose of clarifying and enforcing such claims in individual cases. In the
context of legal proceedings involving civil lawsuits, this may lead to storage
of personal data during the statute of limitations period plus the duration of
such legal proceedings until their finally binding conclusion.
Each shareholder has a right to information, rectification, limitation,
opposition and cancellation at any time regarding the processing of personal
data, as well as a right to data transfer according to Chapter III of the
General Data Protection Regulation.
Shareholders can assert these rights free of charge to ams AG via the following
contact details:

ams AG
Data Protection Officer Tobelbader Strasse 30
8141 Premstaetten
E-mail: dataprotection@ams.com [dataprotection@ams.com]

In addition, the shareholders have the right of appeal to the data protection
supervisory authorities for data protection pursuant to Article 77 GDPR. Further
information on data protection is accessible on the company's website
www.ams.com/privacy-policy. [http://www.ams.com/privacy-policy]
