Agenda Item 3: Resolution on the changes in the Articles of Association in §§ 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17 and 18.
"The Articles of Association is changed in §§ 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 17 and 18 as follows:
- § 5: In sub para (3) the second and the third sentences shall be deleted and a new second sentence „If a Chairman has been appointed, he shall not have a casting vote." shall be included. Thus, § 5 sub para (3) reads as follows:
(3) The Management Board shall adopt its resolutions by a simple majority of the votes cast. If a Chairman has been appointed, he shall not have a casting vote.
- § 8: In sub para (4) the words „re-election should only take place" in the first sentence shall be replaced by the words „a replacement shall in any event be elected.". Thus, § 8 sub para (4) reads as follows:
(4) If elected members of the Supervisory Board resign from the Supervisory Board before the end of their terms of office, a replacement shall in any event be elected without delay if the number of elected Supervisory Board members falls below three. The terms of office of members so elected shall last until the end of the terms of office of the resigning Supervisory Board members, unless the General Meeting decides otherwise. Resigning Supervisory Board members may be re-elected.
- § 9: In sub para (1) the words „or two Deputies" in the first sentence shall be replaced by the word „Deputy". Thus, § 9 sub para (1) reads as follows:
(1) The Supervisory Board shall, immediately after its election, elect a Chairman and one Deputy. They shall be elected for their entire terms of office as members of the Supervisory Board, unless the Supervisory Board decides otherwise.
- § 9: In sub para (3) the words „ the deputies" shall be replaced by the words „his Deputy". Thus, § 9 sub para (3) reads as follows:
(3) The Chairman and his Deputy may resign from office at any time by giving four weeks' written notice to the Supervisory Board, even if they do not simultaneously resign from the Supervisory Board.
- § 9: In sub para (4) the words „one of the deputies" in the first sentence shall be replaced by the words „his Deputy". Thus, § 9 sub para (4) reads as follows:
(4) If the Chairman or his Deputy resigns from office during their terms of office, the Supervisory Board shall immediately replace the person resigned. The Chairman and his Deputy may be re-elected.
- § 9: In sub para (5) the words „The deputies" shall be replaced by the words „The Deputy". Thus, § 9 sub para (5) reads as follows:
(5) The Deputy of the Chairman shall have the same rights and obligations as the Chairman when acting as Chairman.
- § 11: In sub para (1) the words „one of his deputies, is present" in the first sentence shall be replaced by the words „his Deputy, are present; however, in certain cases, the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board may require the presence of the Chairman for the meeting to form a quorum." Thus, § 11 sub para (1) reads as follows:
(1) The Supervisory Board shall form a quorum if all Supervisory Board members have been properly invited and at least half of the members, including the Chairman or his Deputy, are present; however, in certain cases, the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board may require the presence of the Chairman for the meeting to form a quorum. A member who participates via video conference enabling direct reciprocity, confidentiality and authenticity of communication ("qualified video conference") shall also be deemed present. The Chairman shall determine the type of meeting and may especially call a qualified video conference if this seems appropriate in the interest of the Company taking into consideration the urgency of holding a meeting or the absence of Supervisory Board members."
- § 11: In sub para (4) the third sentence is replaced by the sentence „The Chairman shall not have a casting vote.". Thus, § 11 sub para (4) reads follows:
(4) Resolutions are adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast. Any abstention shall not count as a vote cast. The Chairman shall not have a casting vote.
- § 11: In sub para (6) the words „one of his deputies" in the second sentence shall be replaced by the words „his Deputy". Further, the following wording shall be included after the second sentence: "; however, in certain cases, the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board may require the presence of the Chairman for a meeting to form a quorum." Thus, § 11 sub para (6) reads as follows:
(6) Circular resolutions: In urgent cases, the Chairman may allow votes in writing or by phone, by fax or e-mail, via the Internet or by video telephony ("simple video conference") without the Supervisory Board members gathering for a meeting, provided that no Supervisory Board member objects in writing to this procedure within one week of sending of the documents. A resolution is adopted if all Supervisory Board members have been invited to vote and at least half of the members, including the Chairman or his Deputy, have participated in the circular resolution; however, in certain cases, the Rules of Procedure of the Supervisory Board may require the presence of the Chairman for a meeting to form a quorum. Any abstention from voting in circular resolutions shall be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but shall not be counted for the purpose of establishing the results. A member of the Supervisory Board may not be represented by another Supervisory Board member in circular resolutions.
- § 12: Sub para (2) shall be deleted. The numbering of the following paragraphs changes so that the existing paragraphs (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) become paragraphs (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6).
- § 17: In § 17 a new sub para (3) shall be inserted, reading:
„ As long as the Republic of Austria, directly or indirectly, holds at least 25% + 1 share in the registered share capital of the Company, resolutions pursuant to Sec 149 Stock Corporation Act and Section 174 Stock Corporation Act, where instruments including a conversion right or a conversion obligation into shares of the Company are concerned, as well as changes to this provision of the Articles of Association shall require a majority of at least three quarters of the share capital represented upon the resolution. These majority requirements cease to exist without requiring a change of the Articles of Association once the shareholding of the Republic of Austria for the first time falls below 25% + 1 share in the registered share capital. The effective date shall be the notification of the Company according to Sec 92 Stock Exchange Act or the provision replacing the same. Provided that the agenda of a General Meeting includes issues referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the Chairman, in the context of chairing the meeting pursuant to Sec 116 para 1 Stock Corporation Act in connection with Sec 121 para 1 Stock Corporation, shall determine at the beginning of the General Meeting whether the majority requirements referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph are applicable."
The numbering of the following paragraphs thus changes, so that the existing paragraphs (3) and (4) become paragraphs (4) and (5).
- § 18: In sub para (1) the word order „one of his deputies" shall be deleted and shall be replaced by the words „his Deputy". Thus, § 18 sub para (1) reads as follows:
(1) The General Meeting is chaired by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board; if neither he nor his Deputy is present in person or willing to chair the meeting, the notary present to record the proceedings shall chair the meeting to elect a Chairman.

All claims of Telekom Austria AG or its subsidiaries (as far as they are known by Telekom Austria AG or its subsidiaries) against Dr. Stefano Colombo resulting from Dr. Stefano Colombo's former activities for Telekom Austria AG, are finally waived and settled.
The risk of recourse of jointly liable persons shall be borne by Dr. Stefano Colombo.
