ADHOC / Wienerberger resolves on new share buyback program

Buyback of up to 3,450,000 shares corresponding to up to approx. 3.0% of
Wienerberger’s share capital planned

Vienna, March 4, 2022 – Based on the authorization granted by the 151st
Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2020 pursuant to sect. 65 para. 1 item
(8) of the Stock Corporation Act, which was published via an electronic
information dissemination system on May 5, 2020 as well as in the Federal
Gazette of Wiener Zeitung on May 7, 2020, the Managing Board of
Wienerberger AG today decided to buy back own ordinary bearer shares of
the Company at their market price via the Vienna Stock Exchange as well as
via multilateral trading facilities between March 9, 2022 (inclusive) and
presumably June 30, 2022 (inclusive). A total of up to 3,450,000 shares,
corresponding to up to approx. 3.0% of the share capital, can be bought
back at a price of between EUR 1.00 and EUR 32.50 per share. The maximum
purchase price for shares under the share buyback program amounts to EUR
100,000,000. The shares bought back are to be used for purposes in
accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on
May 5, 2020. The buyback will have no impact on the admission of the
shares of Wienerberger AG to stock exchange trading.

A credit institution will be mandated to execute the share buyback. The
credit institution has to take its decision on the timing of the buyback
of Wienerberger AG shares independently of Wienerberger AG and comply with
the conditions for trading laid down in Article 3 of the Commission
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of 8 March 2016.

Note pursuant to sect. 5 para. 4 of the Publication Ordinance 2018: (i)
The details on the transactions performed within the framework of the
buyback program to be disclosed pursuant to sect. 7 of the Publication
Ordinance 2018 as well as (ii) any modifications of the buyback program to
be disclosed pursuant to sect. 6 of the Publication Ordinance 2018 are
published on the website of Wienerberger AG
([1]https://www.wienerberger.com/en/investors/share.html). This
publication neither constitutes a public offering for the purchase of
Wienerberger shares, nor does it create an obligation for Wienerberger AG
or any of its subsidiaries to accept offers for the buyback of
Wienerberger shares.
