The holding of the Annual General Meeting as a virtual Annual General Meeting in accordance with COVID-19-GesV leads to modifications in the course of the Annual General Meeting and in the exercise of shareholders‘ rights. The exercise of voting rights, the right to submit proposals for resolutions and the right to object are exclusively carried out by one of the special proxies proposed by the Company in accordance with Section 3 (4) COVID-19-GesV.

Note that the works council has not delegated any members to the Supervisory Board pursuant to Section 110 Austrian Labor Constitutional Act (ArbVG) and therefore no statement is made as to whether an objection has been declared pursuant to Section 86 (9) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The Supervisory Board of SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft currently consists of five members elected by the Annual General Meeting (shareholders‘ representatives). SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft is currently not subject to Section 86 (7) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and there is no obligation to comply with the minimum percentage requirement pursuant to Section 86 (7) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), since the Supervisory Board will continue to consist of only five capital representatives after the Annual General Meeting if one person is elected to the Supervisory Board. Of the five shareholders‘ representatives, three are men and two are women. The minimum percentage requirement pursuant to Section 86 (7) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) has already been fulfilled. 4. Shareholders‘ right to information pursuant to Section 118 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) On request, each shareholder is entitled to obtain information about matters concerning the Company at the Annual General Meeting to the extent that this is necessary to properly assess the items on the Agenda. The information obligation also extends to the legal relations of the Company to an affiliated company and to the state of the Group and of the companies included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Information may be denied if, according to reasonable business judgement, it could cause significant harm to the Company or an affiliated company, or if the disclosure thereof would constitute an offence. The requirement for exercising the shareholders‘ right to information is the proof of right to attend (Section IV. of this Invitation) and the granting of a corresponding power of proxy to the special proxy (Section V. of this Invitation). However, it is expressly pointed out that the right to information and the right to speak during this virtual Annual General Meeting can be exercised by the shareholders themselves by way of electronic mail exclusively by sending questions or statements by e-mail directly to the Company at the e-mail address [12]fragen.sbo@hauptversammlung.at. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders are asked to submit all questions in advance in text form by e-mail to the address [13]fragen.sbo@hauptversammlung.at in such manner that they reach the Company no later than on the third business day before the Annual General Meeting, which will be 25 April 2022. This serves to maintain the time efficiency in the interest of all participants in the Annual General Meeting, in particular for issues that require a longer preparation time. It will enable the Executive Board to prepare as accurately as possible and to respond quickly to your questions. Please use the Question Form, which is available on the Company’s website at [14]www.sbo.at/hauptversammlung. If this Question Form is not used, the personal details of the shareholder (name/company name, date of birth/company register number) must be stated in the corresponding e-mail. In order to enable the Company to establish the identity and correspondence with the deposit confirmation, we ask that you also include your deposit number in the e-mail. Please note that reasonable time restrictions may be set for this during the Annual General Meeting by the Chairman. Further information and modalities for exercising the shareholders‘ right to information pursuant to Section 118 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) will be specified in the Participation Information. 5. Shareholders‘ proposals pursuant to Section 119 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) Any shareholder – irrespective of a specific shareholding – is entitled to submit proposals on any item on the Agenda at the virtual Annual General Meeting pursuant to COVID-19-GesG and COVID-19-GesV through his/her special proxy. However the respective shareholder can only submit proposals to the authorized special proxy and be submitted by the latter in the Annual General Meeting. The time up to which instructions for submitting proposals to the special proxy are possible shall be determined by the Chairman in the course of the virtual Annual General Meeting. The requirement for this is proof of the right to attend in accordance with Section IV. of this Invitation and the granting of a corresponding power of proxy to the special proxy in accordance with Section V. of this Invitation. A shareholder proposal for the election of a member to the Supervisory Board is subject to the timely submission of a resolution proposal pursuant to Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG): Persons for election to the Supervisory Board (item 6 of the Agenda) may only be proposed by shareholders whose shares together reach 1% of the share capital. Such nominations must be received by the Company no later than 19 April 2022 in the manner specified above (Section VI. (2.)). Each nomination must be accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 (2) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) stating the nominee’s expert knowledge, his or her professional or comparable functions as well as any circumstances which could give rise to the concern of bias. Otherwise, the shareholder’s proposal for the election of a person to the Supervisory Board must not be taken into account when voting. For information pursuant to Section 110 (2) Sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86 (7) and (9) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), reference is made to the explanations in Section VI. (3.). Further information and modalities for exercising the shareholders‘ right to submit proposals pursuant to Section 119 Stock Corporations Act (AktG) will be specified in the Participation Information. 6.

Under the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the processing of shareholders‘ personal data is a mandatory prerequisite for the preparation, conducting, follow-up as well as participation of shareholders and their proxies in the Annual General Meeting.

If legal claims are made by shareholders against SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft or vice versa by SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. This may lead to the storage of data in the context of civil court proceedings for the duration of the limitation period plus the duration of the court proceedings up to their legally binding termination.
