ADHOC / Wienerberger resolves on new share buyback program

Buyback of up to 1,000,000 shares corresponding to up to approx. 0.9% of Wienerberger's share capital planned

Vienna, 28 March 2023 – Based on the authorization granted by the 153rd Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2022 pursuant to sect. 65 para. 1 item (8) of the Stock Corporation Act, which was published via an electronic information dissemination system on 3 May 2022 as well as in the Federal Gazette of Wiener Zeitung on 5 May 2022, 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 between 31 March 2023 (inclusive) and presumably 3 May 2023 (inclusive). A total of up to 1,000,000 shares, corresponding to up to approx. 0.9% 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 26,000,000. The shares bought back are to be used for both as consideration in corporate acquisitions and for other purposes in accordance with the authorization resolution granted by the Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2022. 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.
