Information concerning the organizational and technical requirements

for participating in the 152nd Annual General Meeting of Wienerberger AG to be held on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at 10 am, Vienna time, as a virtual Annual General Meeting

The 152nd Annual General Meeting of Wienerberger AG to be held on Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at 10 am, Vienna time, was called on Friday, April 2, 2021 by publication in the Official Gazette [Amtsblatt] attached to the Wiener Zeitung newspaper as well as by Europe-wide electronic distribution.

Annual General Meeting to be held as a virtual Annual General Meeting

In view of the global COVID-19 pandemic, after careful consideration and with a view to protecting shareholders and other participants, the Managing Board has decided to hold this year's Annual General Meeting without any shareholders being physically present.

As a consequence, the 152nd Annual General Meeting of Wienerberger AG to be held on May 4, 2021 will be held as a "virtual Annual General Meeting" within the meaning of the COVID-19 Act (Federal Law Gazette I 16/2020, as amended) and the related Ordinance issued by the Federal Minister of Justice (COVID-19 Ordinance, Federal Law Gazette II 140/2020, as amended).

This means that the Annual General Meeting will be held at the company's registered office solely in the presence of the chairman of the Supervisory Board and/or a deputy chairman, the members of the Managing Board, the notarizing notary, the auditor's representative and the four special proxies proposed by the company. In addition, the company's employees needed to organize the Annual General Meeting and/or the service providers hired by the company will be on site, where this is necessary to hold and conduct the Annual General Meeting.

The chairman of the Annual General Meeting will structure the Annual General Meeting in terms of time and announce a proper point in time until which questions can be asked and instructions can be issued to the special proxies.

Online transmission of the Annual General Meeting

The virtual 152nd Annual General Meeting will be fully transmitted online so that all of the company's shareholders will be able to follow the same on May 4, 2021 from approx. 10 am live on the Internet at www.wienerberger.com/en/investors/annual-general-meeting.html. Shareholders do not have to register or log in.

By way of this acoustic and optical one-way connection, shareholders, using appropriate technical means, will be able to follow in real time the entire Annual General Meeting, including the presentation of the Managing Board, the answering of questions asked by shareholders, and the adoption of resolutions.

Exercise of the rights to vote, to make motions and to raise objections by special proxies

In accordance with Section 3 (4) of the COVID-19 Ordinance, the rights to vote and, if applicable, to propose resolutions and/or to raise objections at the virtual 152nd Annual General Meeting to be held on May 4, 2021 may only be exercised by one of the following special proxies. Any cost of such special proxies will be borne by the company:

The company's website at www.wienerberger.com/en/investors/annual-general-meeting.htmlprovides to shareholders and/or their attorneys-in-fact a form to grant a power of attorney and to issue instructions to one of the above special proxies as well as a form to revoke the power of attorney. For the sake of efficiency, please use the forms provided.

Please note that as stated in the invitation to the Annual General Meeting, you need a depository confirmation pursuant to Section 10a of the Stock Corporation Act to properly register your shares for the Annual General Meeting, which confirmation must be timely received by the company not later than on April 29, 2021 (for further details, please refer to the invitation to the Annual General Meeting which is available on the website mentioned above).

If power of attorney is granted to another person, a valid chain of powers of attorney (sub-power of attorney) must ensure that one of the special proxies is granted power of attorney to exercise voting rights, to make motions and to raise objections. In accordance with the COVID-19 Ordinance, no other person may be granted power of attorney to exercise these rights at the virtual Annual General Meeting.

If a shareholder has granted power of attorney to the shareholder's custodian bank, the latter merely has to state that it was granted power of attorney, in addition to providing the depository confirmation. For the purpose of proposing resolutions, casting votes and raising objections at the Annual General Meeting, the custodian bank also has to use one of the proposed special proxies and timely provide the relevant power of attorney as described below.

Completed and signed powers of attorney must be timely sent to ensure they are received by the company in writing not later than on Monday, May 3, 2021, 12 pm Vienna time, using one of the following means:

This form of delivery grants the selected special proxy direct access to the power of attorney. The power of attorney may not be submitted by a shareholder in person at the venue of the meeting.

The above provisions apply mutatis mutandis to any revocation of the power of attorney.

Instructions to the special proxies

The special proxies will exercise the rights to vote, to make motions and to raise objections only upon express instruction. If no instruction has been issued in respect of a proposed resolution, the proxy will refrain from voting. This also holds true for proposed resolutions in respect of which unclear instructions (e.g. at the same time FOR andAGAINST the same proposed resolution) were issued.

Any instructions and other directives to the respective special proxy may be issued either when a power of attorney is granted or on a later date. As regards instructions issued to the special proxy to exercise the right to vote and the right to make motions at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders must comply with the points in time set by the chairman. Up until the points in time set by the chairman, shareholders may amend any instruction given or issue new instructions.

Shareholders are asked to issue their instructions to the special proxy selected by them in the relevant section of the proxy form which will be available at www.wienerberger.com/en/investors/annual-general-meeting.htmlfrom April 13, 2021, at the latest. This holds true both for instructions issued when the power of attorney is granted and for instructions given separately. Shareholders are asked to send their completed forms by email to the respective proxy's email address set out above.

Since a large number of shareholders are expected to get in touch at the same time, we cannot guarantee that the special proxies can be reached by phone during the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders can therefore communicate with the respective special proxy exclusively via the special proxies' email addresses set out above.

Every email sent to the selected special proxy must include the following information:

• Shareholder's name and date of birth in case of individuals and/or company name and registration number in case of legal entities;
• Shareholder's securities account number.

In addition, the end of the statement must be identified by reproducing a signature or otherwise, e.g. by stating the shareholder's name and/or company name (Section 13 (2) Stock Corporation Act).

Please note that it may be necessary to briefly interrupt the virtual Annual General Meeting to properly process any instructions issued by shareholders to the special proxies and received during the Annual General Meeting.
