With regard to the other requirements for the deposit confirmation, please refer to the information on the right to participate (Section III. of this convocation).

2. Resolution proposals by shareholders on the agenda in accordance with Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act

Shareholders whose shares together amount to 1% of the share capital may submit proposals for resolutions on each item on the agenda in text form, together with a statement of reasons, and request that these proposals, together with the names of the shareholders concerned, the statement of reasons to be attached and any statement by the Executive Board or Supervisory Board, be made available on the Company's website registered with the commercial register, provided that this request is submitted in text form no later than 30 May 2025 (24:00h, midnight, Vienna time) either to Kontron AG, 4021 Linz, Industriezeile 35, Attn: Investor Relations, or by e-mail to the e-mail address ir@kontron.com, whereby the request is to be attached in text form, for example as a PDF, to the e-mail.

Proof of shareholder status must be provided by submitting a deposit confirmation in accordance with Section 10a Austrian Stock Corporation Act, which must not be older than seven days at the time of submission to the Company.

The Company provides the following information on agenda item 8 "Election of three persons to the Supervisory Board" and the possible submission of a corresponding election proposal by shareholders in accordance with Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act:

In accordance with Section 9 Paragraph 1 of the Articles of Association, the Supervisory Board consists of three to five members who are elected by the Annual General Meeting.

The Supervisory Board has so far consisted of five members elected by the Annual General Meeting. Therefore, the provisions on the minimum shareholding requirement pursuant to Section 86 Paragraph 7 Austrian Stock Corporation Act do not apply to Kontron AG.

4. Shareholders' right to information in accordance with Section 118 Austrian Stock Corporation Act

Each shareholder shall, upon request, be provided with information on the affairs of the Company at the Annual General Meeting, to the extent that this is necessary for the proper assessment of an item on the agenda. The duty to provide information also extends to the Company's legal relationships with an affiliated company and to the situation of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.

The information may be refused insofar as, according to reasonable business judgment, it is likely to cause a significant disadvantage to the Company or an affiliated company, or its provision would be punishable by law.

Requests for information must generally be made verbally at the Annual General Meeting, but may also be made in writing.

Questions that require longer preparation to be answered should be submitted to the Executive Board in text form in good time before the Annual General Meeting in order to ensure the efficiency of the meeting. Questions may be sent to the Company by e-mail to ir@kontron.com.

5. Motions by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Section 119 Austrian Stock Corporation Act

Each shareholder - irrespective of a specific shareholding - is entitled to submit motions at the Annual General Meeting on any item on the agenda. If several motions are submitted for an item on the agenda, the chairperson determines the order of voting in accordance with Section 119 Paragraph 3 Austrian Stock Corporation Act.

However, a motion by a shareholder for the election of a Supervisory Board member requires the timely submission of a proposal for a resolution in accordance with Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act: Persons for the "Election of three persons to the Supervisory Board" (agenda item 8) may only be proposed by shareholders whose shares together amount to 1% of the share capital. Such nominations must be received by the Company no later than 30 May 2025 in the manner specified above (Section V. Sub-Section 2.). Each nomination must be accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 Paragraph 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act from the proposed person regarding their professional qualifications, their professional or comparable functions and any circumstances that could give rise to concerns of bias.

If this is not the case, the shareholder’s motion for the election of a Supervisory Board member may not be considered in the vote.

6. Information on data protection for shareholders

Kontron AG processes personal data of shareholders in connection with the Annual General Meeting to the extent necessary and on the basis of the applicable European and national data protection regulations, to fulfill the mandatory legal obligations and for the proper conduct of the Annual General Meeting (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Litera c and Article 6 Paragraph 1 Litera f General Data Protection Rules). Insofar as Kontron AG uses external service providers to organize the Annual General Meeting (such as notaries, lawyers or IT service providers), the data of shareholders will only be processed to the extent necessary, on the instructions of Kontron AG and on the basis of corresponding data protection agreements.
