This auditor will also perform any review of the interim financial reports, if such a review is performed. 6. Resolution on the creation of a new authorized capital with the option of precluding the subscription rights of shareholders and the corresponding amendment of the articles of incorporation and bylaws The authorizations of the management board granted by resolution of the annual general meeting of June 22, 2007 to issue new shares with the approval of the supervisory board (authorized capital) expired upon the end of

6 Agenda June 30, 2008 ( authorized capital I ) and upon the end of May 31, 2012 ( authorized capital II ). In order to provide the Company more room to maneuver maneuver in order to generate further growth in particular, a new authorized capital is to be created. The board of management and the supervisory board thus propose that the following resolution be passed: a) The management board is authorized to increase, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, the Company s capital stock by a maximum amount of EUR 3,922,000.00 (in words: three million nine hundred and twenty-two thousand point zero zero euro) until April 30, 2018 by issuing, once or several times, new no-par value bearer shares in return for contributions in cash and/or kind ( authorized capital ). The shareholders must be granted subscription rights. However, the management board is authorized, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, to preclude the subscription rights of shareholders for fractional amounts. The management board will be authorized, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, to decide on further details of a capital increase from authorized capital. The supervisory board is authorized, in the event that the authorized capital is used, to amend the wording of the articles of incorporation and bylaws accordingly. b) Art. 4 (2) of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company are to be amended as follows: (2) The management board is authorized to increase, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, the Company s capital stock by a maximum amount of EUR 3,922,000.00 (in words: three million nine hundred and twenty-two thousand point zero zero euro) until April 30, 2018 by issuing, once or several times, new no-par value bearer shares in return for contributions in cash and/or kind ( authorized capital ).

07 057 The shareholders must be granted subscription rights. However, the management board is authorized, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, to preclude the subscription rights of shareholders for fractional amounts. The management board is authorized, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, to decide on further details of a capital increase from authorized capital. The supervisory board is authorized, in the event that the authorized capital is used, to amend the wording of the articles of incorporation and bylaws accordingly. c) Art. 4 (3) of the articles of incorporation and bylaws will be deleted without replacement, such that the previous Art. 4 (4) will become Art. 4 (3). Report by the management board on agenda item 6 pursuant to Sec. 203 (2) Sentence 2 in conjunction with Sec. 186 (4) Sentence 2 AktG The management board has issued a written report explaining why it wishes to be granted discretionary power to decide on the preclusion of subscription rights pursuant to agenda item 6 a). From the day on which the annual general meeting is convened, the report will be available at the Company s business premises for inspection by shareholders and will be accessible on the internet at: www.homag-group.com/annual_general_meeting Upon request, the report will be dispatched to shareholders free of charge and without delay. The contents of the report are as follows: Under agenda item 6, a proposal is made to authorize the management board to increase, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, the Company s capital stock by a maximum amount of EUR 3,922,000.00 until April 30, 2018 by issuing, once or several times, new no-par value

8 Agenda bearer shares in return for contributions in cash and/or kind. As a rule, shareholders must be granted subscription rights. However, the management board is authorized under agenda item 6 lit. a), second paragraph, subject to the approval of the supervisory board, to preclude fractional amounts from the subscription rights. Such fractional amounts can result due to the amount of the respective emission volume and the realization of a practicable subscription ratio. The authorization requested to preclude subscription rights for fractional amounts enables a capital increase with an even subscription ratio. This makes the execution of the shareholders subscription rights easier. If the subscription rights were not precluded for fractional amounts, the technical execution of the capital increase and the exercise of subscription rights would be substantially more difficult. New shares that are precluded from the shareholders subscription rights as fractional amounts will be put to best use on behalf of the Company, either by sale on the stock exchange or otherwise. 7. Resolution on the approval to conclude a domination and profit transfer agreement between Homag Group AG and Brandt Kantentechnik GmbH Homag Group AG holds all of the shares in Brandt Kantentechnik GmbH, Lemgo.

It is not permitted for the revenue reserves within the meaning of Sec. 272 (3) HGB that were formed prior to the inception of this Agreement to be transferred as profit or to be used to offset a net loss for the year. The same applies to capital reserves (Sec. 272 (2) HGB) formed prior to or during this Agreement. 3 Loss absorption (1) The Controlling Company is obligated in accordance with the provisions of Sec. 302 AktG, the corresponding current wording of which will apply to this Agreement, to absorb losses. (2) The Controlling Company is only entitled to counter the Controlled Company s claim to have its losses absorbed in accordance with (1) above by requiring offsetting against its own claims or by asserting a right of retention, if and to the extent that the Controlling Company s claim is justified.

They can be also downloaded from the Company s website at www.homag-group.com/annual_general_meeting

16 Agenda 8. Resolution on the restructuring of supervisory board remuneration (amendment to the articles of incorporation and bylaws) Against the backdrop of the amendment to the recommendation on supervisory board remuneration in the version of the German Corporate Governance Code ( Code ) applicable as of June 15, 2012, the remuneration of the supervisory board members is to be adjusted to the new version of the Code no 5.4.6 (2). The Code no longer recommends a performance-related remuneration for the supervisory board. The management board and the supervisory board are of the opinion that exclusively fixed remuneration of the supervisory board members is better suited than the remuneration model in place to date which included a variable component for the advisory and supervisory tasks of the supervisory board, which are generally not linked to the Company s success. It also appears appropriate to adjust the remuneration for the tasks performed by the audit committee in line with the substantial increase in importance of the audit committee s work and the accompanying increase in workload. The supervisory board remuneration should ensure the ability in the future of attracting supervisory board members with a high level of expertise and many years of experience, including at an international level, in the management of and provision of advisory services to business enterprises. In light of this, the remuneration of the supervisory board is to be converted to a purely fixed remuneration model. This would also simplify the structure of the supervisory board remuneration. The management board and the supervisory board therefore propose the following amendment to Art. 14 of the articles of incorporation and bylaws:

17 [ OPENNESS ] " 14 Remuneration (1) For each full fiscal year of membership, the members of the supervisory board receive fixed remuneration of EUR 10,000.00. The members of the supervisory board also receive a fixed attendance fee of EUR 2,000.00 for each meeting. Apart from the fixed attendance fee for each supervisory board meeting, the chairperson of the supervisory board receives three times the fixed remuneration, the deputy chairman one-and-a-half times that amount. (2) The members of the supervisory board who are also members of the audit committee receive fixed attendance fee of EUR 2,500.00 for each committee meeting. The chairman of the audit committee receives twice the fixed attendance fee per committee meeting. (3) The members of the supervisory board who are also members of another committee receive a fixed attendance fee of EUR 1,500.00 for each committee meeting. The chairperson of a committee receives twice the fixed attendance fee per committee meeting. (4) The members of the supervisory board who did not belong to the supervisory board for the whole fiscal year receive the fixed remuneration (cf. (1) above) based on their length of service on the supervisory board in the fiscal year in question. (5) The fixed remuneration and the fixed attendance fees for supervisory board meetings and committee meetings are payable within one month of the annual general meeting exonerating the supervisory board for the relevant fiscal year. (6) Directors and Officers Liability Insurance (D&O insurance) is taken out by the Company for the supervisory board members as a benefit, in accordance with statutory provisions.

18 Agenda

19 (7) The members of the supervisory board are also reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses as well as for the VAT payable on their remuneration and out-of-pocket expenses. (8) The provisions of this Art. 14 are applicable for the first time for the remuneration payable for fiscal year 2013. Attendance of the annual general meeting Only those shareholders who have registered for the annual general meeting ( Registration ) and who have demonstrated to the Company their entitlement to attend the annual general meeting and to exercise their right to vote ( Proof ) are entitled to attend the annual general meeting and exercise their right to vote. Written substantiation of the shareholding as issued by the custodian bank suffices as Proof.

The above authorization is exclusively determined by reference to the shareholding of the shareholder on the Record Date without this entailing a ban on the ability to sell the shareholding. Even in the event of the full or partial sale of the shareholding after the Record Date, the entitlement is based solely on the shareholding of the shareholder as of the Record Date, which means that the sale or purchase of shares after the Record Date do not affect entitlement to attend the annual general meeting and exercise the right to vote. The Registration and the Proof must be received by the Company in German or English no later than: Tuesday, May 21, 2013, 24:00 hours Please use the following address for this purpose (the day received is also authoritative for fax or e-mail responses

Shareholders who wish to grant right of proxy to a bank, a shareholders association or another similar legal entity within the meaning of Sec. 135 AktG, should therefore consult with them as regards any potential formal requirements for the proxy. b) The Company offers its shareholders a service under which they have the option of granting right of proxy to a proxy appointed by the Company with authorization to cast votes on their instructions.
