CENTRAL WORKS COUNCIL
The Supervisory Board defined the following guidelines relating to its independence (in accordance with
C-Rule 53 of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code):
• The member of the Supervisory Board should not have been a member of the Managing Board or an
executive of the company or a subsidiary of the company in the last five years.
• The member of the Supervisory Board should not have, nor should he have had in the last year,
business relations with the company or a subsidiary of the company that constitute a material conflict
of interests for the member of the Supervisory Board. This also applies for business relations with
companies in which the member of the Supervisory Board has a considerable economic interest. The
approval of individual transactions by the Supervisory Board in accordance with L-Rule 48 does not
automatically lead to the member qualifying as being not independent.
• The member of the Supervisory Board should not have been the auditor of the company in the last
three years, nor should he have held an interest in or been an employee of the company that conducted
the audit.
• The member of the Supervisory Board should not be a member of the Managing Board in another
company where a member of the Managing Board of the company is a member of the Supervisory
Board.
• The member of the Supervisory Board should not be a close relative (direct descendant, spouse,
partner, parent, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, niece, nephew) of a member of the Managing Board or
of a person who holds one of the positions described in the points above.
All elected members of the Supervisory Board have declared, in written form, their independence in
accordance with C-Rule 53. Supervisory Board member Hofer declared that he does not meet the
requirements under Point 2 of the independence guidelines (business relationship to company).
The following elected members of the Supervisory Board also meet the independence criteria defined in
C-Rule 54 (not representing a shareholder with a stake of more than 10 %): Frizberg, Eiselsberg, Püspök,
Brauner, Heinzel, Kaufmann, Tengg and Wolf.
