Registration, ordering entrance tickets, granting a power of proxy, submitting voting instructions
Please use the reply form for ordering entrance tickets, granting a power of proxy or submitting voting instructions. You can send the reply form by post using the return envelope with postage paid.

For the exercise of participation and voting rights vis-à-vis the Company the shareholding entered in the share register at close of business on 6 May 2011 is decisive, as during the period thereafter, up to and including the day of the Annual General Meeting, no changes can be made to the share register for procedural reasons.
Personal AGM Online Services
As a registered shareholder, you may use the internet service to order entrance tickets, which you can use to attend the Annual General Meeting.
If you would like to delegate someone to represent you at the Annual General Meeting, you can authorize and instruct LEONI’s proxies on how to exercise your voting rights using the internet service. As an alternative, using the internet service, you can order an entrance ticket for a third person, which also authorizes this third person to exercise your voting rights.
In this case, however, you cannot issue your instructions using the internet service.
Please use our AGM online service on the website of LEONI AG

Shareholders who have registered in good time until and not later than 5 May 2011 can submit to the Company a power of proxy and instructions required to authorise a proxy appointed by the Company in text form, via any of the access channels listed in the “Registration” section of the “Invitation and Agenda” (address, fax number, e-mail address or website) using the contact data listed therein up to and including 11 May 2011, 23:59 hours. They may furthermore grant or amend authorisations and instructions in text form to the proxies up to 12 May 2011, received by the Company at the venue of the Annual General Meeting, at the desk provided for this purpose, as well as revoke instructions and authorisations also in text form. In addition the internet service for the Annual General Meeting is also available up to 12 May 2011, 10:59 hours.
If notifications are received simultaneously (by post and via the internet), the one received via the internet will have preference.
In addition, we would like to encourage you to grant us your permission to send you the documents for next year’s Annual General Meeting by e-mail to your personal e-mail address. This will enable us to save costs and help protect the environment.
