Right to attend and record date (Section 106 (6) and (7) Stock Corporation Act:
The right to attend the Annual General Meeting and to exercise shareholder
rights which have to be asserted at the Annual General Meeting, pursuant to
Section 111 (1) and (2) AktG, depend on the ownership of shares at the end of
the 10th day before the date of the Annual General Meeting (record date), and,
accordingly, on the ownership of shares on 15 April 2013, 12:00 p.m. midnight.
Attendance of the Annual General Meeting is permitted only if a person is a
shareholder on that record date and proves this fact to the Company. Such proof
(deposit confirmation) must be received by the Company pursuant to Section 10a
AktG, no later than 22 April 2013, exclusively at one of the addresses below: 



By post/courier or personally delivered:
                
                Schoeller-Bleckmann
                Oilfield Equipment AG
                Hauptstraße 2
                2630 Ternitz            or

By telefax:      +43 (0)1 8900 500 65 

By e-mail:       anmeldung.sbo@hauptversammlung.at.



SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft no longer accepts
deposit certificates and statements pursuant to Section 114 (1), sentence four
AktG transferred via an international, particularly secure communications
network of banks (SWIFT) as other electronic communication channels (telefax and
e-mail) are made available instead. This is due to the fact that, for previous
AGMs, SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft offered SWIFT as
an electronic form of communication of which custodian banks did not make use. 

The deposit confirmation must be issued by the custodian bank which must be
registered in a member state of the European Economic Area or in a full OECD
member state.  Furthermore, it must contain the information set forth in Section
10a (2) AktG and refer to the above record date.  Deposit confirmations are
accepted in the German or English language only.

Representation by proxies (Section 106 (8) AktG):
Each shareholder entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting has the right to
appoint a natural or legal person as proxy (Sections 113, 114 AktG). Such proxy
attends the Annual General Meeting on behalf of the shareholder and has the same
rights as the shareholder he/she represents. The Company itself, a member of the
Executive Board or the Supervisory Board may exercise voting rights as proxy
only to the extent the shareholder has issued an explicit voting instruction on
the individual items on the Agenda. The proxy must be granted to a specific
person. The proxy must be issued in text form pursuant to Section 13 (2) AktG;
its revocation must also be made in text form. The proxy and/or its revocation
must be sent to and retained by the Company. Proxies may be submitted to the
Company no later than on 24 April 2013, 4:00 p.m. by post to 2630 Ternitz,
Hauptstraße 2, by telefax (+43 (0)1 8900 500 65) or by e-mail: 
anmeldung.sbo@hauptversammlung.at.  Otherwise, shareholders are kindly requested
to present their proxies and/or revocations to the registration desk of the
Annual General Meeting at its venue. For the appointment of a proxy and its
revocation, the proxy form made available by the Company for its shareholders on
the Company's website (www.sbo.at) must be used (Section 114 (3) AktG). If
requested, proxy forms can also be sent to shareholders by post.

If a shareholder has granted a proxy to his/her custodian bank, it is sufficient
for the credit institution to declare that it was granted proxy in addition to
issuing the deposit confirmation. 

Information on shareholder rights (Section 106 (5) AktG):
Shareholders whose aggregate shareholdings equal five percent of the Company's
share capital may, pursuant to Section 109 AktG, request in writing that
additional items be put on the Agenda of the Annual General Meeting and be
announced publicly. Each item that is requested to be added to the Agenda must
be accompanied by a resolution proposal including a statement on the reasons for
this request. Applicants must have held shares for at least three months prior
to submitting the request. The shareholder's request must be received by the
Company by the 21st day prior to the Annual General Meeting, that is no later
than on 4 April 2013, and directed to the address 2630 Ternitz, Hauptstraße 2.

Furthermore, shareholders whose aggregate shareholdings equal one percent of the
Company's share capital may, pursuant to Section 110 AktG, submit to the Company
proposals for resolution on any item of the Agenda in text form and request that
such proposals be made available on the Company's website together with the
names of the respective shareholders, the statement of reasons to be enclosed
and the statement, if any, of the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board. If
proposals are made on the election of a member of the Supervisory Board, the
statement of reasons is replaced by a statement of the suggested candidate,
pursuant to Section 87 (2) AktG. This request is considered valid if received by
the Company no later than on the seventh working day prior to the Annual General
Meeting, that is no later than on 16 April 2013, and directed to the address
2630 Ternitz, Hauptstraße 2, or by telefax to +43 (0)2630 315501.

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 (Section 118 AktG). 

Shareholder rights linked to ownership of shares during a certain period of time
can be exercised only if the shareholder status in the relevant period is proved
by submitting a deposit confirmation pursuant to Section 10a AktG.  When
presented to the Company, the deposit confirmation may not be older than seven
days.  

Further information on the above shareholder rights pursuant to Sections 109,
110, 118 and 119 AktG is available on the Company's website (www.sbo.at).

Total number of shares and voting rights at the time of convocation (Section 106
(9) AktG):
Pursuant to Section 83 (2) (no 1) Stock Exchange Act and Section 106 (9) AktG we
announce that the share capital of the company is EUR 16,000,000.-- and is
divided into 16,000,000 no-par value bearer shares with a nominal of EUR 1.00
each. Each no-par value bearer share confers the right to one vote. Taking into
account 39,884 treasury shares, for which the right to vote cannot be exercised
pursuant to Section 65 (5) AktG, a total of 15,960,116 voting rights exist as of
25 March 2013.

In particular, the following information will be accessible through the
Company's website (www.sbo.at/Investor Relations/Annual General Meeting) from 4
April 2013 and will also be available during the AGM:

        the year ended 31 December 2012 including notes and management report;

        December 2012 including the notes to the consolidated financial

        (item 2 on the Agenda);

-       The candidate's statement for election as a member of the Supervisory
        Board pursuant to Section 87 (2) AktG.


In order to ensure smooth admission, shareholders are kindly requested to arrive
on time before the Annual General Meeting starts. The Company reserves the right
to verify the identity of those gathered for the Meeting. Should identity not be
verifiable, we may refuse entry. Participants are therefore requested to bring
along an official photo ID (such as passport or driving licence) to verify their
identity. Admission for collecting voting cards starts at 9:00 a.m.
