6 Shareholders’ participation rights

6.1 Voting right limitation and representation

At Liechtensteinische Landesbank’s General Meeting of Shareholders, each share carries one vote. In accordance with Art. 306a ff. of the Law on Persons and Companies, LLB shares held by Liechtensteinische Landesbank itself and its subsidiaries (179’881 shares as at 31 December 2022) are not eligible to vote. Beyond that, there are no voting right limitations.

Each shareholder has various possibilities of participating in the General Meeting of Shareholders. At the General Meeting of Shareholders they can vote their own shares or authorise a third party in writing to vote them, or have them voted by another shareholder eligible to vote. The Chairman of the General Meeting shall decide whether the authorisation is valid. A person acting as a representative may act on behalf of more than one shareholder and vote differently for the various shares they represent. Shareholders may also vote their shares in writing by post or by means of electronic communication prior to the General Meeting. On account of the many different voting possibilities, Liechtensteinische Landesbank has decided not to designate an independent proxy in accordance with Art. 18, para. 1 of the statutes (www.llb.li/statutes). LLB is not subject to the pertaining provision of the ordinance against excessive compensation by listed companies.

6.2 Statutory quorum

At the General Meeting of Shareholders, a quorum is present if half of the share capital is represented. The Board of Directors can decide to permit shareholders to vote their shares by post or by means of electronic communication prior to the General Meeting. If a shareholder votes their shares in this manner prior to the General Meeting, their share capital is regarded as being represented for the purpose of constituting a quorum. If a quorum is not constituted, a further General Meeting of Shareholders has to be convened within two weeks that makes decisions irrespective of the represented shares, unless otherwise prescribed by mandatory laws and statutes.

Provided that legal provisions do not stipulate to the contrary, the General Meeting passes its resolutions and decides its elections by an absolute majority of the votes cast.

6.3 Convening of the General Meeting of Shareholders

The Board of Directors convenes an ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders with a period of notice of 30 days. The meeting must be held within six months following the end of a business year. The invitation to the General Meeting is to be publicised on the company’s website as well as, if necessary, in other media to be designated by the Board of Directors. The invitation must contain the information required by law, especially the agenda to be dealt with at the meeting, the proposals of the Board of Directors and, in the event of elections, the names of the proposed candidates.

An extraordinary General Meeting may be convened by the Board of Directors if this is in the urgent interest of Liechtensteinische Landesbank or at the written request − stating the reason for convening the extraordinary General Meeting – of shareholders representing at least 10 per cent of the share capital.

6.4 Agenda

The Board of Directors specifies the agenda for the General Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with Art. 14 of Liechtensteinische Landesbank’s statutes (www.llb.li/statutes). The General Meeting can only deal with items which are listed in the agenda, with the exception of a proposal for the convening of an extraordinary General Meeting.

Shareholders who jointly represent not less than 5 per cent of the share capital can request that an item be placed on the agenda to be dealt with by the General Meeting. Requests for items to be placed on the agenda must be received, at the latest, 21 days prior to the date of the General Meeting. The Board of Directors shall publicise the amended agenda at least 13 days prior to the date of the General Meeting.

Shareholders who jointly represent not less than 5 per cent of the share capital have the right, prior to the General Meeting, to submit proposals regarding items on the agenda or items that have been added to the agenda. Furthermore, any shareholder may submit proposals regarding items on the agenda during the General Meeting.

6.5 Registration in the company’s share register

Liechtensteinische Landesbank has exclusively issued registered shares. It maintains a share register containing the names of the owners of registered shares. Upon request, the purchasers of registered shares are entered in the share register as shareholders having a voting right provided that they expressly render a declaration that they have purchased these shares in their own name for their own account. If the purchaser is not prepared to render such a declaration, the Board of Directors can refuse to enter the shares with voting rights in the register. Pursuant to Art. 5a of the statutes (www.llb.li/statutes), the Board of Directors has specified that nominee registrations without the above-mentioned declaration are generally to be made without a voting right. In order for the right to vote to be exercised at the General Meeting of Shareholders, entry in the share register must be made at the latest three working days prior to the date of the General Meeting. Accordingly, the deadline for entry in the share register for the General Meeting on Friday, 5 May 2023 was fixed at 5 p.m. on Monday, 1 May 2023. From 2 May to 5 May 2023 no entries will be made in the share register.
