All resolutions adopted by 153rd Annual General Meeting

• Dividend of EUR 0.75 per share
• Peter Steiner re-elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board of
Wienerberger AG
• Thomas Birtel and Marc Grynberg newly elected to the Supervisory Board

Vienna, May 3, 2022 – The 2021 Annual Accounts and the Management Report
of Wienerberger AG for the 2021 financial year were submitted to the 153rd
Annual General Meeting. In the interest of particularly active shareholder
participation in this year’s virtual AGM, we voluntarily offered our
shareholders the additional possibility of asking questions in the form of
video statements recorded at the Wienerberger Headquarters.

Heimo Scheuch, Chairman of the Managing Board of Wienerberger AG, notes,
“Also in volatile times, we are well positioned to further drive our
organic growth. In line with our corporate strategy, we continue to focus
on innovation and digitalization. In addition, we are intensifying the
ongoing expansion of our activities, particularly in the area of
renovation and refurbishment, and expanding our product portfolio with
innovative system solutions. Furthermore, we are continuing our investment
program to convert to sustainable energy sources.”

Given that 2021 was the most successful year in the history of
Wienerberger, the Managing Board of Wienerberger AG proposed to increase
the dividend by 25% compared to the previous year. Within the framework of
its balanced, long-term dividend policy, Wienerberger therefore proposed a
dividend of € 0.75% per share. The Annual General Meeting adopted the
Managing Board’s proposal and set Monday, May 9, 2022, as the dividend
payment day. The actions of the Supervisory Board and the Managing Board
were approved for the 2021 business year, and Deloitte Audit
Wirtschaftsprüfungs GmbH, Vienna, was appointed statutory auditor and
Group auditor for the current business year 2022. The Annual General
Meeting also approved the 2021 Remuneration Report.

In the interests of proactive succession planning and after thorough
consideration, the Supervisory Board recommended that the number of
Supervisory Board members be increased, for the time being, from currently
seven to nine. The proposal was adopted by the AGM. Thomas Birtel and Marc
Grynberg were newly elected to the Supervisory Board. Peter Steiner, the
current Chairman of the Supervisory Board, was re-elected in his position
as chairman by of the 153rd Annual General Meeting.

Commenting on the elections, Peter Steiner, Chairman of the Supervisory
Board of Wienerberger AG, says, “We welcome Thomas Birtel and Marc
Grynberg on the Supervisory Board as two successful and experienced
managers with extensive industry know-how, who will contribute toward the
continuation of our successful growth through digitalization and
innovative system solutions. In addition to their professional expertise,
they also have a profound knowledge of the Wienerberger Group’s relevant
core markets. As internationally successful CEOs, Thomas Birtel and Marc
Grynberg contribute valuable experience that will support us in further
advancing our innovative growth strategy in all business areas.”
