Invitation to 133^rd Annual General Meeting of

for Wednesday, 27 April 2022, at 10:00 a.m., CEST

In accordance with Section 106 no 1 of the Austrian Stock Corporations Act
(‚AktG‘), the Annual General Meeting is held at Novotel Wien Hauptbahnhof,
Canettistraße 6, 1100 Vienna.

I. Holding a virtual General Meeting

1. Corporate COVID-19 Act (COVID-19-GesG) and Corporate COVID-19
Regulation (COVID-19-GesV)

Due to the current pandemic situation and the unclear forecasts for its
development in the coming weeks, the Executive Board decided to make use
of the legal regulation of a virtual General Meeting in order to protect
shareholders and other participants.

The Annual General Meeting of Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding on 27
April 2022 will be held as a ‚virtual General Meeting‘ on the basis of
Section 1 para 2 COVID-19-GesG, Federal Law Gazette I no. 16/2020 as
amended by Federal Law Gazette I no. 246/2021 and COVID-19-GesV (Federal
Law Gazette II no. 140/2020 as amended by Federal Law Gazette II no
609/2021), taking into account the interests of both the Company and the
participants.

Pursuant to the decision of the Executive Board, this means that
shareholders and their representatives (with the exception of the four
independent proxies pursuant to Section 3 para 4 COVID-19-GesV) cannot be
physically present at the Annual General Meeting of Semperit
Aktiengesellschaft Holding on 27 April 2022.

The virtual General Meeting is held at Novotel Wien Hauptbahnhof, 1100
Vienna, Canettistraße 6, exclusively in the physical presence of the
Chairman of the Supervisory Board, members of the Executive Board, the
certifying official notary public and the four independent proxies
proposed by the Company.

The holding of the Annual General Meeting as a virtual General Meeting in
accordance with COVID-19-GesV leads to modifications in the course of the
General Meeting and in the exercise of shareholders‘ rights as compared to
a physical meeting.

The exercise of voting rights, the right to submit motions for resolutions
and the right to object are exclusively carried out by one of the
independent proxies proposed by the Company in accordance with Section 3
para 4 COVID-19-GesV.

The right to information may be exercised at the virtual General Meeting
by the shareholders themselves by means of electronic communication, and
exclusively by sending questions in text form exclusively by E-mail
directly to the E-mail address Fragen.HV2022@semperitgroup.com of the
Company, provided that the shareholders have submitted a deposit
certificate within the meaning of Section 10a of the Austrian Stock
Corporations Act (AktG) within the prescribed period in accordance with
item IV. and have authorized an independent proxy in accordance with item
V.

2. Broadcast of the Annual General Meeting on the internet

Pursuant to Section 3 para 1, 2 and 4 COVID-19-GesV in conjunction with
Section 102 para 4 of the Austrian Stock Corporations Act (AktG), the
Annual General Meeting will be broadcast in full acoustically and visually
in real time on the Internet.

This is permissible under data protection law with regard to the legal
basis provided under Section 3 para 1, 2 and 4 COVID-19-GesV.

All shareholders of the Company will be able to follow the Annual General

The broadcast of the Annual General Meeting on the Internet will enable
all shareholders to follow the course of the Annual General Meeting in
real time via this one-way acoustic and optical connection, and, in
particular to follow the presentation by the Executive Board, the answers
to shareholders‘ questions and the voting process.

enable remote participation (Section 102 para 3 no. 2 of the Austrian
Stock Corporations Act – AktG) and remote voting (Section 102 para 3 no. 3
and Section 126 of the Austrian Stock Corporations Act – AktG) and that
the internet broadcast is not a two-way connection. Therefore, the
individual shareholder will only be able to follow the course of the

a request to speak via this link.

It is also to be noted that the Company is only insofar responsible for
the use of technical means of communication as lies in its sphere of
influence (Section 2 para 6 COVID-19-GesV).

certificates for shares, which only together convey the shareholding of

With regard to the other requirements for the deposit certificate, see the

3. Shareholders‘ information rights in accordance with Section 118 of
Austrian Stock Corporations Act

Any shareholder shall be provided with information on the Company’s
affairs upon request at the Annual General Meeting to the extent that such
information is required for proper assessment of an item on the agenda.
This obligation to provide information shall also extend to the legal and
business relationships of the Company with affiliated companies, the state
of affairs of the group, and the companies included in the consolidated
financial statements.

The Company may deny providing information to the extent that according to
sound business judgment it might cause material damage to the Company or
any affiliated company or if providing such information would constitute a
punishable offense.

The requirement for exercising the shareholders‘ right to information is
the proof of right to attend (item IV. of the invitation) and the granting
of a corresponding power of attorney to the independent proxy (item V. of
the invitation).

It is expressly pointed out that the right to information pursuant to
Section 118 of the Austrian Stock Corporations Act and the right to speak
during this virtual Annual General Meeting can be exercised by the
shareholders themselves by way of electronic mail exclusively by sending
questions or the speech contribution by E-mail directly to the Company at
the E-mail address Fragen.HV2022@semperitgroup.com.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders are requested to submit all
questions in advance in text form by E-mail to the address
Fragen.HV2022@semperitgroup.com in such manner that they reach the Company
no later than on the third business day before the Annual General Meeting,
on Friday, 22 April 2022. This serves to maintain the time efficiency in
the interest of all participants in the Annual General Meeting, in
particular for issues that require a longer preparation time.
This will enable the Executive Board to prepare as accurately as possible
and to provide answers to your questions at the Annual General Meeting as
quickly as possible.

Please use the question form, which is available on the Company’s website
at www.semperitgroup.com. If this question form is not used, the person
(name/company, date of birth/company register number of the shareholder)
must be named in the corresponding E-mail. In order to enable the Company
to establish the identity and correspondence with the deposit certificate,
we request that in this case you please also state your deposit number in
the E-mail.

Please note that reasonable time limits will be set by the Chairman during
the Annual General Meeting.

Further information and modalities for exercising the shareholders‘ right
to information pursuant to Section 118 of the Austrian Stock Corporations
Act will be specified in the Participation Information.

4. Motions by shareholders at the General Meeting in accordance with
Section 119 of the Austrian Stock Corporations Act

Any shareholder – irrespective of a specific shareholding – is entitled to
submit motions on any item on the agenda at the virtual General Meeting
pursuant to COVID-19-GesG and COVID-19-GesV by means of instructions to
its independent proxy.

However, motions may only be submitted to the independent proxy authorized
by the respective shareholder and may only be submitted by such proxy at
the Annual General Meeting.

The point in time up to which instructions for submitting motions to the
independent proxy are possible shall be determined by the Chairman in the
course of the virtual General Meeting.

The requirement for this is the proof of entitlement to participate in
accordance with item IV. of this invitation and the granting of a
corresponding power of attorney to the independent proxy in accordance
with item V. of this invitation.

A shareholder proposal for the election of a Supervisory Board member
requires the timely submission of a resolution proposal in accordance with
Section 110 Austrian Stock Corporations Act: Persons for election to the
Supervisory Board (item 6 of the agenda) may only be proposed by
shareholders whose shares together amount to 1% of the share capital. Such
nominations must be received by the Company no later than 15 April 2022 in
the manner specified above (item VI para. 2). Each nomination must be
accompanied by a declaration pursuant to Section 87 para 2 of the Austrian
Stock Corporations Act of the nominee’s professional qualifications,
professional or comparable functions, and any circumstances that could
give rise to concern about bias.

Proposals for the election of Supervisory Board members must be made
available by the Company together with the aforementioned declarations on
the Company’s website entered in the commercial register by 20 April 2022
at the latest, otherwise the shareholder proposal for the election of a
Supervisory Board member may not be considered in the vote.

Further information and modalities for the exercise of the shareholders‘
right to submit motions in accordance with Section 119 Austrian Stock
Corporations Act are set out in the Participation Information.

5. Information to shareholders regarding data processing

5.1. Which personal data of shareholders is processed and for what
purposes?

Semperit AG Holding processes personal data of shareholders (in particular
those pursuant to Section 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporations Act, i.e.
name, address, date of birth, number of the securities deposit, number of
shares of the shareholder, number of the voting card and, name and date of
birth of the proxy holder) on the basis of the applicable data protection
regulations, in particular 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 General Meeting.

In this connection the shareholders‘ personal data is processed for the
following purposes:

– Organization and holding of General Meetings, including verification of
the right to attend/power of proxy and determination of the voting ratio

– Participation and the exercise of shareholder rights in the General
meeting

– Preparation of registration, power of proxy and attendance lists

– Preparation of the minutes of the General Meeting

– Fulfillment of compliance obligations, including recording, disclosure
and reporting obligations.

The processing of the shareholders‘ personal data is mandatory for the
participation of shareholders and their representatives in the General
Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporations Act. The legal
basis for the processing therefore is Art 6 sub-section 1 lit c GDPR
(compliance with a legal obligation). For the processing Semperit AG
Holding is controller as defined in Art 4 pt. 7 GDPR.

5.2. To whom is the shareholders‘ personal data transferred?

Semperit AG Holding uses external service providers, such as notaries,
lawyers, banks and IT service providers, for the purpose of organizing the
General Meeting. These service providers receive only such personal data
from Semperit AG Holding as is necessary for the performance of the
commissioned service, and, where they are processors as defined in Art 4
pt. 8 GDPR, process the data solely on instructions of Semperit AG
Holding. Where legally required, Semperit AG Holding has concluded a data
protection agreement with these service providers.

If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting, all present
independent proxies pursuant to Section 3 para 4 COVID-19 GesV, the
members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and any
other person with a legal right to attend may view the list of
participants stipulated by statute (Section 117 Austrian Stock
Corporations Act) and thereby also have access to the personal data
contained therein (inter alia name, place of residence, shareholding
relationship). Semperit AG Holding also has the statutory obligation to
submit the shareholders‘ personal data (in particular the list of
participants) to the commercial register at the competent commercial
register court (Section 120 Austrian Stock Corporations Act) as part of
the notarial protocol.

In addition, the shareholders‘ personal data may also be transferred to
the competent authorities or bodies if necessary.

5.3. How long is the shareholders‘ personal data stored?

Shareholders‘ data will be anonymized or deleted as soon as it is no
longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed,
and no other legal obligations require further storage. Obligations to
provide evidence and to retain records arise in particular from corporate,
stock corporation and takeover law, from tax and duties law as well as
from anti money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by
shareholders against Semperit AG Holding or vice versa by Semperit AG
Holding against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to
clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with
proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to storage of data for the
duration of the statute of limitations plus the duration of the court
proceedings up to its legally binding conclusion.

5.4. What rights do shareholders have with regard to their personal data?

Every shareholder has a right to access, rectification, restriction,
objection and deletion at any time with regard to the processing of
personal data as well as a right to data portability in accordance with
Chapter III GDPR. Shareholders can assert these rights against Semperit AG
Holding free of charge by contacting the E-mail address
data.privacy@semperitgroup.com or by using the following contact details:
Semperit AG Holding z. Hd. Rechtsabteilung, Am Belvedere 10, 1100 Vienna.

In addition, shareholders have the right to lodge a complaint with the
data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Art 77 GDPR.

5.5. Further information

Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection
declaration on the website of Semperit AG Holding www.semperitgroup.com.
