OESTERREICHISCHE KONTROLLBANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT
Incorporation, Duration, Business and Registered Office
The Bank is an Austrian banking corporation which was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of
Austria ("Austria") in 1946 for an indefinite period of time.
The business of the Bank consists of the provision of services outside routine commercial banking functions
to the Austrian economy. In 1950 the Bank became involved in the financing and promotion of Austrian exports.
Since the original adoption of the Export Promotion Act in 1964, which was replaced on June 1, 1981 by the
Export Guarantees Act of 1981, and which has since been amended (the "Export Guarantees Act"), the Bank has
acted as the sole agent of Austria for the administration of guarantees issued by Austria under this Act covering
commercial, political and foreign exchange risks in connection with Austrian exports. The Bank also provides
medium- and long-term financing to banks and foreign importers for export transactions, the repayment of which
is guaranteed by Austria under the Export Guarantees Act. Substantially all borrowings by the Bank in
connection with export loan financing are guaranteed either as to principal and interest, as to foreign exchange
risk or as to both by Austria under the Export Financing Guarantees Act of 1981, as amended. The Bank also
engages in certain other financial activities including the organization and administration of domestic bond
issues, in particular bond offerings by Austria. CCP Austria Abwicklungsstelle fu¨r Bo¨rsengescha¨fte GmbH, or
CCP.A, a joint venture between the Bank and the Vienna Stock Exchange, operates the clearing system of the
Vienna Stock Exchange. Since September 12, 2015, the Bank's subsidiary OeKB CSD GmbH, or OeKB CSD,
operates the business of the Austrian central securities depository (Wertpapiersammelbank) which before was
operated by the Bank for five decades. It was transferred to OeKB CSD from the Bank due to regulatory
requirements. OeKB CSD is a company with limited liability and acts as central securities depository for Austria
pursuant to the Austrian Securities Deposit Act. The Bank does not accept deposits from the general public or
engage in general lending or other commercial banking activities.
The Bank's registered office is at Am Hof 4, A-1010 Vienna, Austria.
Share Capital
The authorized share capital of the Bank is EUR 130 million divided into 880,000 ordinary no par value
shares, all of which are issued and fully paid. The shares are in registered form.
CAPITALIZATION
See "Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Aktiengesellschaft--Capitalization" in Exhibit (d) to Amendment No. 1
to the Annual Report on Form 18-K, dated September 4, 2020, incorporated by reference into the Prospectus.

the financial position or results of operations of the Bank since December 31, 2019.

material in the context of the issue of the Notes.

agent and principal paying agent (the "Fiscal Agent") in respect of the Notes pursuant to a Fiscal Agency
