Invitation to the 28th Annual General Meeting of Rosenbauer International AG on Monday, May 11, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. at the registered office of the company, Paschinger Strasse 90, 4060 Leonding, Austria

I. Holding the Annual General Meeting in virtual form
To protect the shareholders and other participants, the Executive Board has resolved to exercise the new legal regulation allowing the Annual General Meeting to be held in virtual form.

In accordance with the Austrian COVID-19 Company Law Act and the Austrian COVID-19 Company Law Regulation (BGBl. II Nr. 140 / 2020) as currently amended, the Annual General Meeting of Rosenbauer International AG on May 11, 2020 will be held as a "virtual annual general meeting".

This means that the shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual General Meeting of Rosenbauer International AG on May 11, 2020 in person.

In the opinion of the Executive Board, holding the Annual General Meeting in virtual form instead of postponing it to an uncertain future date takes into account the interests of both the company and its shareholders.

3. Shareholders' right to information in accordance with section 118 AktG
At the Annual General Meeting, on request, each shareholder is entitled to receive information on company matters to the extent that this is required for proper assessment of an agenda item. The obligation to provide information also extends to the legal relationships of the company with an affiliated company, and to the position of the Group and of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.
Such information can be refused if, according to sound business judgment, it has the potential to cause a considerable disadvantage to the company or an affiliated company or if its disclosure would cause liability to prosecution.
It is expressly noted that, even in a virtual annual general meeting, the right to information in accordance with section 118 AktG can also be exercised by shareholders themselves during the Annual General Meeting.
This notwithstanding, shareholders are asked to send all questions in written or electronic form by e-mail to fragen.hauptversammlung@rosenbauer.com in due time to be received by the company by no later than the second working day before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. Thursday, May 7, 2020.

6. Information for shareholders on data processing
Rosenbauer International AG processes personal data of its shareholders (in particular, data in accordance with section 10a(2) AktG, i.e. name, address, date of birth, securities account number, number of shares held by the shareholder, share class (if applicable), voting card number and the name and date of birth of the authorized representative) on the basis of the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Datenschutzgesetz (Austrian Data Protection Act), to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting.

The processing of shareholders' personal data is necessary for their and their representatives' participation at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for processing is therefore Article 6(1c) GDPR.
Rosenbauer International AG is the controller for this processing. Rosenbauer International AG uses external service providers, such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers, to organize the Annual General Meeting. These service providers receive from Rosenbauer International AG only the personal data that is required for the execution of the commissioned service, and they process the data exclusively according to the instructions of Rosenbauer International AG. To the extent legally necessary, Rosenbauer International AG has entered into a data protection agreement with these service providers.

If a shareholder participates in the Annual General Meeting, all shareholders present or their representatives, the members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, the notary, and all other persons with a legal right to participate can inspect the list of participants (section 117 AktG) and thereby see the personal data (including name, place of residence, form of shareholding) entered in it. Rosenbauer International AG is also required by law to submit personal shareholder data (in particular, the list of participants) to the commercial register as part of the notarized minutes (section 120 AktG).

Shareholder information is anonymized and deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected/processed and unless other legal obligations require further storage. In particular, verification and retention requirements arise from commercial, stock corporation and takeover law, from fiscal and tax law and money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by shareholders against Rosenbauer International AG or, conversely, by Rosenbauer International AG against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with legal proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to the storage of data for the duration of the limitation period plus the duration of the legal proceedings until its final legal termination.

Every shareholder has a right to information, rectification, limitation, objection and erasure at any time regarding the processing of his or her personal data and a right to data portability in accordance with Chapter III of the General Data Protection Regulation. Shareholders can claim these rights against Rosenbauer International AG free of charge at the e-mail address dataprivacy@rosenbauer.com or the following contact details:

Rosenbauer International AG
c/o Marinko Kvesic
Paschinger Strasse 90
4060 LeondingAustria

In addition, shareholders have the right to file complaints with the data protection supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 GDPR.
Further information on data protection can be found in the privacy policy on the website of Rosenbauer International AG www.rosenbauer.com.
