IV. OPTION OF APPOINTING A REPRESENTATIVE AND PROCEDURE TO BE COMPLIED WITH
Each shareholder who is eligible to attend the Annual General Meeting, and has
proven this to the company in accordance with the specifications in Item III of
this convocation, has the right to appoint a proxy who may attend the Annual
General Meeting on behalf of the shareholder and has the same rights as the
shareholder he or she represents.
The proxy must be granted to a specific person (natural person or legal entity)
in text form (Section 13(2) AktG); it is also possible to authorize several
persons.
It is possible to grant a proxy both before and during the Annual General
Meeting.
We offer the following channels for the delivery of proxies:
By mail or courier: Rosenbauer International AG
 Investor Relations
 For attn. Ms. Gerda Königstorfer,
 Paschinger Strasse 90
 4060 Leonding, Austria
By fax: + 43 (0) 1 8900 500 49
By e-mail:  anmeldung.rosenbauer@hauptversammlung.at (Proxies can be considered
in PDF format.)
The proxies must be received at one of the above addresses by May 17, 2017, 4:00
p.m. at the latest, if they will not be turned in at the entry and exit control
of the Annual General Meeting on the day of the Annual General Meeting.
A proxy form and a form for revoking the proxy are available from the company's
web-site at www.rosenbauer.com. In the interest of ensuring that these are
processed smoothly, we ask that you please always use the forms provided.
Details on the authorization of proxies, particularly on the text form and on
the content of the proxy, are set out in the proxy form provided to the
shareholders.
If the shareholder has issued a proxy for his custodian bank (Section 10a AktG),
it shall be sufficient for it to submit the declaration that a proxy has been
granted to it in addition to the deposit certificate via the route provided for
its delivery to the company.
Shareholders can personally exercise their rights in the Annual General Meeting
even after issuing a proxy. Appearance in person is considered a revocation of
any previous-ly issued proxy.
The above provisions on the granting of a proxy shall apply analogously for
revoking the proxy.

Independent Voting Proxy
As an additional service, Dr. Johannes Freiler-Waldburger, General Counsel and
Group Compliance Officer, is available to shareholders as an independent proxy
to exercise voting rights at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with
instructions. A special proxy form for authorizing Dr. Johannes Freiler-
Waldburger is available on the company's website at www.rosenbauer.com and must
be received by the company at one of the aforementioned addresses for submitting
proxies (fax, e-mail, mail) only. It is also possible to contact Dr. Johannes
Freiler-Waldburger, General Counsel and Group Compliance Officer, directly by
telephone on +43 (732) 6794-5316 or e-mail at Johannes.Freiler- 
Waldburger@rosenbauer.com.
The shareholder must issue instructions to Dr. Johannes Freiler-Waldburger as to
how he (or any sub-representative authorized by Dr. Johannes Freiler-Waldburger)
must exercise the voting right. Dr. Johannes Freiler-Waldburger will vote
exclusively in ac-cordance with instructions given by the respective
shareholder. The proxy is invalid without explicit instructions. Please note
that the proxy will not accept instructions to speak, raise objections to
resolutions of the Annual General Meeting, or to ask questions or file motions.

Guests
The Annual General Meeting is the primary body of a stock corporation, since it
is the forum for the owners of the company - the shareholders. For this reason,
we ask for your understanding of the fact that we cannot make the Annual General
Meeting into an event for guests, as much as we appreciate such interest. The
participation of guests is thus only possible after prior Registration (tel.:
0043 732 6794 402,e-mail:  ir@rosenbauer.com).
We ask for your understanding that, due to the historically large number of
participants at our Annual General Meeting, for organizational reasons in
connection with the prep-aration of the buffet per deposit certificate, it is
generally only possible for a maximum of two persons (one shareholder and one
proxy, or two proxies instead of the shareholder) to be admitted.

V. NOTES ON THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND
119 OF THE AUSTRIAN STOCK CORPORATION ACT (AKTG - AKTIENGESETZ)

1. Additions to the Agenda by Shareholders Under Section 109 AktG
Shareholders whose combined shares total 5% of the share capital and who have
held these shares for at least three months prior to filing the motion can
submit a written request for items to be added to the agenda of this Annual
General Meeting and an-nounced, provided that such written request is received

midnight), at the following address only: Gerda Königstorfer, Investor Relations
Department, Paschinger Strasse 90, 4060 Leonding, Austria. Each agenda item thus
requested must be accompanied by a pro-posed resolution and a statement of
grounds. Proof of share ownership must be presented in the form of a deposit

filing the motion have held the shares for at least three months prior to filing
the motion and which is no more than seven days old at the time of its

2. Resolutions Proposed for the Agenda by Shareholders Under Section 110 AktG

written proposals for resolutions plus grounds for each item on the agenda of
this Annual General Meeting and request that such proposals be made available on
the company's website listed in the company register along with the names of the

eligibility to attend (Item III) regarding the other requirements of the deposit
certificate.

3. Shareholders' Right to Information Under Section 118 AktG
At the Annual General Meeting, each shareholder is entitled to receive, upon
request, information on company matters to the extent that it is required for
proper assessment of an agenda item. The obligation to provide information also
extends to the legal rela-tionships of the company to an affiliated company, as
well as to the position of the Group and of the companies included in the
consolidated financial statements.
Such information may be refused if, according to sound business judgment, it has
the potential to cause a considerable disadvantage to the company or an
affiliated company or if its disclosure would cause liability to prosecution.
The Chairman of the Annual General Meeting can appropriately restrict the
sharehold-ers' rights to speak and ask questions in terms of time pursuant to
Section 19 (2) of the Articles of Association. He can order general and
individual restrictions on speaking and questioning times, particularly at the
beginning of, but also during, the Annual General Meeting.
Requests for information at the Annual General Meeting are generally to be made
ver-bally, but are also acceptable in writing.
Questions whose answers require longer preparation may be submitted in writing
to the Executive Board in good time prior to the Annual General Meeting in order
to ensure that the meeting runs efficiently. The questions may be submitted to
the company by fax to +43 (0)732 6794 - 89 or by e-mail to  ir@rosenbauer.com.

4. Motions by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting Under Section 119 AktG
Each shareholder - irrespective of the size of their shareholding - is entitled
to file motions on each item of the agenda at the Annual General Meeting. If
multiple motions are submitted for one item on the agenda, the Chairman shall
specify the sequence of voting pursuant to Section 119 (3) AktG. However, the
prompt submission of a proposed resolution in accordance with Section 110 AktG
is a mandatory requirement in the case of a shareholder nomination for the
election of a Supervisory Board member: persons may only be nominated for
election to the Supervisory Board (agen-da item 6) by shareholders who together
hold at least 1% of the share capital. Such nominations must be received by the
company in the manner described above (Item V (2)) by May 9, 2017, at the
latest. Each nomination must be accompanied by a state-ment from the nominated
person in accordance with Section 87 (2) AktG regarding their professional
qualifications, their professional or comparable positions and any circumstances
that could give rise to concerns regarding impartiality. Otherwise, the
shareholder nomination for the election of a Supervisory Board member may not be
taken into consideration in the vote.

5. Information on the Website
More detailed information on these shareholder rights pursuant to Sections 109,
110, 118 and 119 AktG is available on the company's website at
www.rosenbauer.com.
