Annual General Meeting 2020

In light of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Management Board, after careful consideration, decided to utilize the new legal provisions authorizing a virtual Annual General Meeting to protect the shareholders and other participants.
This means that, under the Management Board’s decision, shareholders won’t be physically present at the Annual General Meeting of voestalpine AG on July 1, 2020, to protect their health (with the exception the special proxy holders under Sec. 3 para. 4 COVID-19-GesV).

The Management Board asks for the shareholders’ understanding that they cannot attend the Annual General Meeting on July 1, 2020, in person.

The Annual General Meeting will be transmitted on the Internet in real time in audiovisual format. It is not necessary to register or login to watch the Annual General Meeting. All Company shareholders can watch the Annual General Meeting as a virtual Annual General Meeting on the Internet from 10:00 a.m. on July 1, 2020, at www.voestalpine.com using the appropriate technical aids.

The special proxy holder Dr. Wilhelm G. Rasinger informed the company today (26.06.2020) that he is prevented for health reasons from being available at the Annual General Meeting on July 1, 2020 as a special proxy holder according to Sec. 3 para. 4 COVID-19-GesV. He has given Dr. Maria Brandstetter, Vienna, sub-authorization to exercise all rights in accordance with Sec. 3 para. 4 COVID-19-GesV. Granted proxies and shareholder instructions issued to Dr. Wilhelm G. Rasinger are therefore exercised by Dr. Maria Brandstetter. For the purposes of the Annual General Meeting, the email address rasinger.voestalpine@hauptversammlung.at will also be kept for Dr. Maria Brandstetter.
