Vienna, September 6, 2024 – Based on the authorization granted by the 155th Annual General Meeting on May 7, 2024 pursuant to sect. 65 para. 1 item (8) of the Stock Corporation Act, which was published via an electronic information dissemination system on May 7, 2024, as well as the electronic publication tool EVI on May 8, 2024, the Managing Board of Wienerberger AG today decided to buy back own ordinary bearer shares of the Wienerberger AG at their market price via the Vienna Stock Exchange between September 11, 2024 (inclusive) and presumably October 15, 2024 (inclusive). A total of up to 1,125,000 shares, corresponding to up to approx. 1.0% of the share capital, can be bought back at a minimum price of EUR 1.00 per share.
