Corporate Governance<br />
___It is with great attention that we follow efforts to develop a corporate governance code in<br />
Austria. At the centre of this debate is the nature of the relationship between management<br />
and shareholders. We view corporate governance as responsibility to create long-term value<br />
for our shareholders through suitable corporate structures and processes, sufficient control<br />
and transparency, an extensive flow of information, and avoidance of conflicts of interest.<br />
Our objective is to increase shareholder value and to earn a steady stream of distributable<br />
earnings so as to reach a payout ratio equal to 60% of annual profit. Our information policy<br />
is designed to provide the highest possible transparency in reporting, above and beyond the<br />
simple fulfilment of legal requirements. Our Supervisory Board and Management Board work<br />
closely together for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. Transactions of significant<br />
importance that exceed legally prescribed limits are subject to approval by the Supervisory<br />
Board. The Management Board provides the Supervisory Board with regular, timely<br />
and extensive information on all issues affecting the planning and development of our business.<br />
The Supervisory Board has also formed a team of experts to serve both as a working group<br />
with advisory function for specific tasks and as an audit committee. During the reporting year,<br />
the Supervisory Board and Management Board held two conferences to discuss current and<br />
important subjects.<br />
