In so doing, it meets domestic and international investors' expectations of responsible, transparent, long-termist corporate governance and control. Its compliance with the Code is evaluated regularly by the internal auditing unit.

(The Austrian Code of Corporate Governance comprises the following three categories of rules: "L" Rules (legal requirements), based on mandatory statutory provisions; "C" Rules ("comply or explain"), i.e. rules which must be kept, with an explanation having to be given for any departures from the rule; and "R" Rules (recommendations), non-compliance with which requires neither disclosure nor explanation.)

The explanations required by the Code are published in the Annual Report and on the corporate website: www.rosenbauer.com.
