Convening of the 140th Annual General Meeting of
PORR AG
("Company")
for Thursday, 28 May 2020 at 9.00 am
at the registered seat of the Company at 1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47

I. HOLDING A VIRTUAL GENERAL MEETING WITHOUT PHYSICAL PRESENCE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

1. Corporate COVID-19-Act (COVID-19-Act) and Corporate COVID-19-Regulation (COVID-19-Regulation)
In order to protect shareholders and other participants, the Management Board decided to make use of the possibility of a virtual general meeting created on the basis of the new legal regulation, according to which in particular general meetings can be held without the physical presence of all or individual participants.

The Annual General Meeting of PORR AG on 28 May 2020 will be held as a "virtual general meeting" in the meaning of COVID-19-Regulation (Federal Law Gazette II 140/2020, as amended), taking into account the interests of both the Company and the participants.

According to the decision of the Management Board, this means that shareholders cannot be physically present at the Annual General Meeting of PORR AG on 28 May 2020.

The Annual General Meeting will take place in 1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47, in the presence of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Management Board and other members of the Management Board, the certifying notary and the four special proxies appointed by the Company.

The holding of the Annual General Meeting as a virtual general meeting in accordance with COVID-19-Regulation leads to modifications in the otherwise customary course of the General Meeting as well as in the exercise of shareholders' rights.

The exercise of voting rights, the right to make requests and the right to object shall be effected exclusively by granting power of attorney and giving instructions to one of the special proxies proposed by the Company.

The right to information can also be exercised at the virtual Annual General Meeting by the shareholders themselves by means of electronic communication, namely by sending questions in text form by e-mail directly to the Management Board.

2. Transmission of the Annual General Meeting on the Internet
In accordance with Section 3 (4) COVID-19-Regulation in conjunction with Section 102 (4) Stock Corporation Act, the Annual General Meeting is broadcast in full in video and audio in real time on the Internet.

All shareholders of the Company can follow the Annual General Meeting on 28 May 2020 from approx. 9:00 a.m. on the Internet at [url=https://porr-group.com/GM140-2020[]/b] as a virtual Annual General Meeting using appropriate technical aids.

The transmission of the Annual General Meeting on the Internet gives all shareholders who so wish the opportunity to follow the course of the Annual General Meeting in real time through this acoustic and optical connection and to follow the presentation by the Management Board and the answers to shareholders' questions.

Special attention is drawn to the fact that this live transmission as a virtual Annual General Meeting does not enable remote participation (Section 102 (3) No 2 of the Stock Corporation Act) and remote voting (Section 102 (3) No 3 of the Stock Corporation Act and Section 126 of the Stock Corporation Act).

It is also pointed out that the Company is only responsible for the use of technical means of communication to the extent that these are attributable to its sphere of influence.

In addition, reference is made to the organisational and technical requirements for participation in the virtual General Meeting contained in this convening notice and to the document FURTHER INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 OF THE STOCK CORPORATION ACT, IN PARTICULAR, UNDER THE CORPORATE COVID-19 ACT AND THE CORPORATE COVID-19-REGULATION, THE PROCEDURE OF THE GENERAL MEETING AND INFORMATION ON THE PROTECTION OF SHAREHOLDERS' DATA, available on the Company's website at www.porr-group.com/gm.

Each shareholder may select one of the four persons named above as his or her special proxy and grant this person power of attorney.

The granting of a power of attorney to another person is not permissible within the meaning of COVID-19-Regulation and is therefore invalid.

Express reference is made to the fact that the special proxy authorized by the shareholder does not accept any instructions to ask questions or read out speeches. The right to information can rather be exercised by shareholders themselves by means of electronic communication, namely by sending questions in text form by e-mail directly to the Management Board in accordance with point VI, sub-point 3.

It is recommended to contact the special proxy authorized by the shareholder in good time if the special proxy authorized by the shareholder is to be instructed to submit proposals for resolutions and/or to raise an objection in the virtual general meeting on one or more items on the agenda.

It is expressly requested that the e-mail address and a password be provided when granting a power of attorney in order to enable or facilitate in a suitable manner the verification of the identity of the shareholder concerned when communicating at a later date, in particular during the Annual General Meeting by e-mail.

To grant a proxy, please visit the company's website at www.porr-group.com/gm each have their own power of attorney form available. Please read this proxy form carefully and also note the FURTHER INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 OF THE STOCK CORPORATION ACT, IN PARTICULAR, UNDER THE CORPORATE COVID-19-ACT AND THE CORPORATE COVID-19-REGULATION, THE PROCEDURE OF THE ANNUAL MEETING AND INFORMATION ON THE PROTECTION OF SHAREHOLDERS' DATA, available on the Internet at www.porr-group.com/gm.

(i) knap.porr@hauptversammlung.at
(ii) reisch.porr@hauptversammlung.at
(iii) varga.porr@hauptversammlung.at
(iv) welser.porr@hauptversammlung.at

This type of transmission means that only the special proxy selected and authorized by you, and not one of the other proxies, has direct access to the power of attorney.
