The Company has decided to extend the Offer so that, subject to the right of the Company to terminate the Offer as set out below, where a valid Tender Instruction (as defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum) is received by the Tender Agent by 5.00 p.m. (Vienna time) on the 19th day of any of June, July, August, September, October or November 2011 (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) (each such time and date, a Periodic Expiration Deadline), the relevant Notes will be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer and settlement of the purchase of such Notes will take place on the second Business Day following the relevant Periodic Expiration Deadline (each such date an Periodic Settlement Date).

The final deadline by which valid Tender Instructions are to be received by the Tender Agent in order for the relevant Noteholder to be eligible to participate in the Offer will be 5.00 p.m. (Vienna time) on (a) the Periodic Expiration Deadline falling on 18 November 2011; or (b) such earlier date (if any) as the Company may announce to Noteholders (the announcement of any such earlier date to be made not less than 15 clear days in advance of such date), (such time and date, the Final Expiration Deadline). Where the Final Expiration Deadline does not fall on a Periodic Expiration Deadline, settlement of the purchase of any Notes which are validly tendered in the Offer during the period between (i) the Periodic Expiration Deadline immediately preceding the Final Expiration Deadline and (ii) the Final Expiration Deadline and which are accepted for purchase by the Company will take place on the second Business Day following the Final Expiration Deadline (the Final Settlement Date).

In order to be eligible to receive the Purchase Price, Noteholders must validly tender their Notes by the Final Expiration Deadline, by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by the Final Expiration Deadline.

As at 5.00 p.m. (Vienna time) on 13 May 2011, EUR8,333,000 in aggregate nominal amount of Notes had been validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer, and the Company has decided to accept such Notes for purchase. Settlement of the purchase of such Notes will take place on 17 May 2011.

For the purposes of the Offer, as so extended, references in the Tender Offer Memorandum to "the Expiration Deadline" and "the Settlement Date" shall be deemed to be replaced by references to "the relevant Periodic Expiration Deadline" or "the Final Expiration Deadline", and "the relevant Periodic Settlement Date" or "the Final Settlement Date", each as applicable.

Noteholders who wish to participate in the Offer should refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for the procedures which must be followed in order to do so. Tenders of Notes in the Offer will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The deadlines set by any intermediary or clearing system may be earlier than the deadlines specified above.

Subject to applicable law and as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum, the Company may, in its sole discretion, further extend, re-open, amend, waive any condition of or terminate the Offer at any time.
