I. TO BE HELD AS A VIRTUAL AGM WITHOUT THE PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
1. Company Law COVID-19 Act (Gesellschaftsrechtliches COVID-19- Gesetz -COVID-
19-GesG) and Company Law COVID-19 Regulation (Gesellschaftsrechtliche COVID-19-
Verordnung - COVID-19-GesV)
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and after careful consideration, the Executive
Board decided to utilize the new legal provisions authorizing a virtual AGM to
protect the shareholders and other participants.
The AGM of Kapsch TrafficCom AG on September 9, 2020, will be held as a "virtual
AGM" in consideration of the interests of both the Company and the participants,
based on Sec. 1 para. 2 COVID-19-GesG, Federal Law Gazette I No. 16/2020, as
published in the Federal Law Gazette I No. 24/2020, and the COVID-19-GesV
(Federal Law Gazette II No. 140/2020).
This means that according to the Executive Board's decision aiming at the
protection of shareholders' health, shareholders will not be allowed to attend
in person the AGM of Kapsch TrafficCom AG on September 9, 2020. An exception
exists for special proxy holders pursuant to Sec. 3 para. 4 COVID-19-GesV.
The Executive Board asks the shareholders for understanding that they cannot
attend the AGM on September 9, 2020 in person.
The AGM will be held at the conference center next to Kapsch TrafficCom AG, Am
Europlatz 2, 1120 Vienna, Austria, in the physical presence of the Chairman of
the Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Executive Board and another member of
the Executive Board, the certifying notary, and the four special proxies
designated by the Company.
The conduct of the AGM as a virtual AGM in accordance with the COVID-19-GesG and
the COVID-19-GesV will require modification of the usual procedure for holding
the AGM and exercising shareholder rights.
The exercise of voting rights, the right to make requests and the right to
object shall be effected exclusively by granting power of attorney and giving
instructions to one of the special proxies (pursuant to Sec. 3 para. 4 COVID-19-
GesV) proposed by the Company.
The shareholders themselves can exercise their rights to obtain information
during the virtual AGM by utilizing electronic communication, i.e. exclusively
in text form and exclusively by e-mail directed to the Company's e-mail address
at fragen.kapsch@hauptversammlung.at.
2. Transmission of the AGM on the Internet
In accordance with Sec. 3 para. 4 COVID-19-GesV in conjunction with Sec. 102
para. 4 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the entire AGM will be
transmitted on the Internet in real time in audiovisual format. It is not
necessary to register or login to watch the AGM.
All Company shareholders can watch the AGM as a virtual AGM on the Internet from
about 10:00 a.m. on September 9, 2020, at www.kapsch.net/ktc/ir or

The transmission of the AGM on the Internet will enable all shareholders, who
desire to do so, to follow the course of the AGM in real time via this one-way
audiovisual connection and to watch the Executive Board make its presentation
and answer shareholders' questions.
It should be noted that this live transmission as a virtual AGM does not permit
remote participation (Sec. 102 para. 3 no. 2 AktG) or remote voting (Sec. 102
para. 3 no. 3 AktG and Sec. 126 AktG) and that the Internet transmission is not
a two-way connection.
It should also be noted that the Company is only responsible for the use of
technical means of communication to the extent that they are attributable to the
Company's sphere.
In other respects, please see the information regarding the organizational and
technical prerequisites for participation under Sec. 3 para. 3 in conjunction

Beinahe 90 Prozent der Autofahrer in Österreich reagieren auf Staus und überlastete Straßen, indem sie Ausweichrouten suchen. Der Umstieg auf öffentliche Verkehrsmittel kommt als Alternative nur für etwas mehr als die Hälfte in Betracht. So das Ergebnis einer Umfrage unmittelbar vor Ausbruch der Corona-Pandemie im März. Nach dem „Neustart“ wird der öffentliche Nahverkehr voraussichtlich noch weniger Zuspruch bekommen - die Staulage dürfte sich sogar verschärfen, Fotocredit: Kapsch TrafficCom
