Shareholders‘ rights under Sections 109, 110, 118 and 119 of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act
Pursuant to Section 109 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act,
shareholders who individually or collectively hold 5% of the share capital
and have held such shares for at least three months prior to filing their
motion can request the inclusion and announcement of additional items on
the agenda of this Annual General Meeting, provided that such request is
received by the Company in writing (signatures of all shareholders filing
the motion required; if sent by email, qualified electronic signatures of
all shareholders filing the motion required) not later than on Thursday,
April 16, 2026, midnight Vienna time, by mail at Wienerberger AG, Attn.:
Martina Handler, Wienerbergerplatz 1, 1100 Vienna, or by email (qualified
electronic signature required) at hauptversammlung@wienerberger.com. Every
agenda item so requested must be accompanied by a proposed resolution
(also in the German language), including reasons. To prove a shareholder’s
capacity, it suffices to submit a depository confirmation as described in
Section 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act which confirms that the
shareholders filing the motion have held their shares for at least three
months before the motion is filed and which may not be older than seven
days when received by the Company. Several depository confirmations in
respect of shares accounting for 5% only collectively must refer to the
same date and time. For further requirements concerning the depository
confirmation, please refer to the section concerning the right to
participate in the Annual General Meeting.
Pursuant to Section 110 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act,
shareholders who individually or collectively hold at least 1% of the
share capital can submit proposed resolutions, including reasons, in
respect of every agenda item and request that such proposals, including
the names of the relevant shareholders, the statement of reasons to be
attached, and a statement, if any, by the Managing Board or the
Supervisory Board be published on the Company’s website registered in the
commercial register, provided that such request is received by the Company
in writing not later than on Monday, April 27, 2026, midnight Vienna time,
by facsimile at +43 1 8900 500 50, by email at
hauptversammlung@wienerberger.com or by mail at Wienerberger AG, Attn.:
Martina Handler, Wienerbergerplatz 1, 1100 Vienna. The proposed
resolution, but not the reasons for such resolution, must also be written
in the German language. If a proposal is made to elect a member of the
Supervisory Board, the reasons to be given for a proposal are replaced by
the statement issued by the proposed individual under Section 87 (2) of
the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. To prove a shareholder’s holding in
order to exercise this shareholder right, it suffices to submit a
depository confirmation as described in Section 10a of the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act which may not be older than seven days when provided to
the Company. Several depository confirmations in respect of shares
accounting for 1% only collectively must refer to the same date and time.
For further requirements concerning the depository confirmation, please
refer to the section concerning the right to participate in the Annual
General Meeting.
As regards agenda item 6 „Elections to the Supervisory Board“ and if
shareholders make a relevant proposal under Section 110 of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act, please note the following:
Wienerberger AG is subject to the scope of application of Section 86 (7)
of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act and must therefore take into account
a minimum share of men and women. Pursuant to § 10 (1) of the Articles of
Association of Wienerberger AG, the Supervisory Board consists of at least
three and not more than ten members elected by the Annual General Meeting.
At present, the Supervisory Board consists of seven members elected by the
Annual General Meeting (capital representatives) and three members
appointed by the Works Council pursuant to Section 110 of the Austrian
Workplace Labor Relations Act. Four of the seven capital representatives
are men and three are women; two of the employee representatives are men
and one is a woman. The Supervisory Board therefore consists of six men
and four women and thus complies with the minimum share of men and women
under Section 86 (7) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act.
Please note that neither the majority of capital representatives nor the
majority of employee representatives raised an objection pursuant to
Section 86 (9) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, which means that the
minimum share of men and women need not be met separately, but
collectively by the Supervisory Board as a whole as set forth in
Section 86 (9), first sentence, of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act.
Taking into account seven capital representatives and three members
appointed by the Works Council, at least three women and three men must be
on the Supervisory Board to satisfy the minimum share of men and women.
Any proposal made by shareholders in respect of agenda item 6 „Elections
to the Supervisory Board“ must take into account Section 86 (7) of the
Austrian Stock Corporation Act and/or the aforementioned minimum share of
men and women.
Section 119 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act provides that at the
Annual General Meeting every shareholder may file motions in respect of
every agenda item which do not require prior announcement.
Section 118 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act provides that upon
request, every shareholder must be provided with information concerning
the Company’s affairs at the Annual General Meeting, where such
information is necessary to properly evaluate an agenda item. Such right
to receive information also covers the Company’s legal and business
relations to an affiliated company as well as the state of affairs of the
Group and the companies included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Additional information on the rights of shareholders under Sections 109,
110, 118 and 119 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act is available on the
Company’s website at www.wienerberger.com.
Privacy information for shareholders
For purposes of carrying out the Annual General Meeting, Wienerberger AG
processes personal data of shareholders (including, but not limited to,
data pursuant to Section 10a (2) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act,
i.e. name; address; date of birth; number of the securities account;
number of shares held by the shareholder; type of shares, where
applicable; number of the voting card and; where applicable, name(s) and
date(s) of birth of the proxy/proxies) on the basis of applicable data
protection provisions, including, but not limited to, the European General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act
[DSG], in order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the
Annual General Meeting. You cannot register for the Annual General Meeting
without disclosing your personal data.
Pursuant to Section 104 (1) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act,
Wienerberger AG is obliged by law to convene an ordinary general meeting
once a year. To comply with this legal obligation, the processing of
personal data of shareholders is indispensable for shareholders and their
proxies to participate in the Annual General Meeting. Article 6 (1) c) of
the GDPR, according to which processing is lawful if necessary for
compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject,
constitutes the legal basis for processing personal data.
Wienerberger AG is the controller responsible for processing personal
data. For the purpose of organizing the Annual General Meeting,
Wienerberger AG uses the services of external service providers, such as
notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers. These receive from
Wienerberger AG only such personal data as required for performing the
contractually agreed services and process such data exclusively in
accordance with instructions received from Wienerberger AG. Where required
by law, Wienerberger AG has concluded data privacy agreements with these
service providers. Personal data is not disclosed to third parties for any
other purpose.
If a shareholder participates in the Annual General Meeting, all
shareholders present or their proxies, the members of the Managing Board
and the Supervisory Board, the notary and all other people having a
statutory right to participate in the Annual General Meeting may view the
legally required list of participants (Section 117 Austrian Stock
Corporation Act) and thus also any personal data mentioned therein (such
as name, place of residence, shareholding). Moreover, Wienerberger AG is
obliged by law to file with the commercial register personal shareholder
data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the minutes
prepared by the notary (Section 120 Austrian Stock Corporation Act).
The aforementioned data is erased two years after the end of the Annual
General Meeting, unless further processing of the data is necessary on a
case-by-case basis to process motions, decisions or legal proceedings
relating to the Annual General Meeting. On request, you have the right to
request free access to your personal data stored by us. Moreover, you have
the right to request rectification of inaccurate data, the right to
request restriction of processing of data processed in excess of what is
required, and the right to request erasure of personal data unlawfully
processed and/or stored for too long a period of time (unless preservation
of the data is required by law or other reasons under Art. 17 (3) GDPR
apply). Moreover, you have the right to receive all data provided to us in
a commonly used data format (right to data portability). To exercise your
rights, all you need to do is send an email to
[3]privacy@wienerberger.com. Moreover, you have the right to lodge a
complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
For further information on data protection, please refer to our Privacy
Policy on the website of Wienerberger AG at [4] www.wienerberger.com.

capital amounted to EUR 109,497,697 and was divided into 109,497,697
no-par value bearer shares. Each share grants one vote. As of the
