I. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Shall BE CONDUCTED AS A VIRTUAL ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. The Austrian COVID-19 Act Amending Corporate Law (COVID-19-GesG) and Austrian COVID-19 Regulation Amending Corporate Law (COVID-19-GesV)

The Management Board has decided to make use of the statutory regulations governing virtual Annual General Meetings.

In accordance with Section 1, para. 2, COVID-19-GesG, Austrian Federal Law Gazette (BGBl.) I, No. 16/2020, as amended by BGBl. I, No. 246/2021, and the COVID-19-GesV (BGBl. II, No. 140/2020, as amended by BGBI. II, No. 609/2021), the Annual General Meeting of S IMMO AG on 01 June 2022 shall be held as a virtual Annual General Meeting in consideration of the interests of both the Company and the participants.

According to the Management Board's decision, this means that shareholders and their proxies (with the exception of special proxies in accordance with Section 3, para. 4, COVID-19-GesV), cannot physically attend the Annual General Meeting of S IMMO AG on 01 June 2022.

The Annual General Meeting will take place with the Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Management Board, the other members of the Management Board, the certifying notary and the four special proxies proposed by the Company present in person at the Vienna Marriott Hotel, Parkring 12a, 1010 Vienna.

Conducting the Annual General Meeting in the form of a virtual Annual General Meeting pursuant to the COVID-19-GesV will result in modifications to the otherwise customary procedures of the Annual General Meeting as well as to how shareholders will exercise their rights.

Voting rights, the right to file motions, and the right to raise objections will be exercised exclusively by granting power of attorney and issuing instructions to one of the special proxies proposed by the Company in accordance with Section 3, para. 4, COVID-19-GesV.

Shareholders themselves can also exercise their right to information during the virtual Annual General Meeting, exclusively in written or electronic form, namely by sending questions in text form exclusively by e-mail directly to the Company's e-mail address fragen.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at, provided that the shareholders have submitted a deposit confirmation within the meaning of Section 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) in due time in accordance with item IV. and have authorised a special proxy in accordance with item V.

2. Livestream of the Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting will be livestreamed (audio and video) in accordance with Section 3, para. 1, para. 2 and para. 4, COVID-19-GesV.

Doing so is statutory under data protection law as set out in Section 3, para. 1, para. 2 and para. 4, of the COVID-19-GesV.

On 01 June 2022, starting from 13:00. all shareholders of the Company can participate in the Annual General Meeting, as a virtual Annual General Meeting at www.simmoag.at/agm using appropriate streaming equipment. No registration or login is required to follow the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholders will therefore be unable to take the floor. Please refer to item VI below concerning the right to ask questions.

Shareholders are also informed that the Company is responsible for the communications equipment used only to the extent that it falls within the Company's sphere of influence (Section 2, para. 6, of the COVID-19-GesV).

V. APPOINTMENT OF A SPECIAL PROXY AND THE PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED

Any shareholder who is eligible to attend the virtual Annual General Meeting in accordance with COVID-19-GesG and COVID-19-GesV and who has demonstrated this to the Company in accordance with the provisions of item IV in this invitation, has the right to appoint a special proxy.

In accordance with Section 3, para. 4, COVID-19-GesV, only one of the special proxies – whose costs shall be borne by the Company - can file motions, cast votes and raise objections during the virtual Annual General Meeting of S IMMO AG on 01 June 2022.

The following individuals, who are qualified and independent of the Company, are proposed as special proxies:

(i) Dr Marie-Agnes Arlt, LL.M. (attorney-at-law)

e-mail: arlt.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

(ii) Dr Mario Gall (attorney-at-law)
c/o Pelzmann Gall Größ Rechtsanwälte GmbH

e-mail: gall.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

(iii) Ewald Oberhammer, LL.M. (attorney-at-law)
c/o Oberhammer Rechtsanwälte GmbH

e-mail: wilfling.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

Each shareholder may choose one of the individuals named above as his or her special proxy and grant that person power of attorney.

Section 3, para. 4, of the COVID-19-GesV prohibits powers of attorney from being granted to a different individual.

To simplify the staging of the Annual General Meeting, shareholders are requested to limit communications with their respectively chosen proxies to requesting the filing of motions, casting of votes and the raising of objections. By contrast, shareholders themselves may also exercise their right to information during the virtual Annual General Meeting by means of electronic communication by sending questions directly to the Management Board via e-mail in accordance with item VI, subitem 4.

Shareholders are advised to contact their authorised special proxy in advance if the authorised special proxy is being given instructions on the filing of motions, casting of votes or raising of objections concerning one or more items on the agenda during the virtual Annual General Meeting. During the Annual General Meeting, communication with the proxies will be possible only via e-mail at the e-mail address provided above for each special proxy.

To verify the shareholder's identity, in particular during the Annual General Meeting, the designated field on the form granting power of attorney must indicate the e-mail address that will be used to send questions and issue instructions to the special proxy. Furthermore, the signature of the shareholder confirms that only he or she will have access to the e-mail address provided there.

A proxy form for granting power of attorney to the special proxies will be available on the Company's website at www.simmoag.at/agm from 11 May 2022 at the latest. Shareholders are asked to use this form for granting power of attorney. Please read the form granting power of attorney carefully.

In your own interest, powers of attorney should be received by your proxy at the corresponding e-mail address given below no later than 4:00 p.m. on 30 May 2022:

(i) arlt.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

(ii) gall.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

(iii) oberhammer.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

(iv) wilfling.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at

This method of submission gives your chosen and authorised special proxy – not one of the other proxies – direct access to the power of attorney.

Handing the power of attorney to the special proxy in person at the meeting venue is expressly prohibited in order to ensure effectiveness of the special measures put in place because of COVID-19.

In addition to submitting the form to the e-mail addresses above, only the following methods of communication and addresses are available for submitting powers of attorney:

By post or courier: S IMMO AG

c/o HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH

8242 St. Lorenzen am Wechsel, Köppel 60

By fax: +43 (0)1 8900 500 - 85

Via SWIFT: GIBAATWGGMS

(Message Type MT598 or MT599, text must include "ISIN AT0000652250")

The appointment of a special proxy is only valid using the form available for download on the Company's website. The details of the power of attorney, in particular the text form and the content of the power of attorney, can be found in the power of attorney form made available to shareholders.

When authorising another person, it must be ensured by means of an effective chain of authorisation (sub-authorisation) that one of the four special proxies is authorised to exercise voting rights, the right to file motions and the right to make objections at the Annual General Meeting itself. In accordance with Section 3, para. 4, COVID-19-GesV, it is not possible to authorise a person other than the four special proxies to exercise these rights at the Annual General Meeting. However, it is permitted to authorise other persons to exercise other rights, including in particular the right to request information and the right to speak.

The above provisions regarding the granting of power of attorney apply accordingly to revoking power of attorney. A form for doing so is also available on the Company's website, the use of which is mandatory if a shareholder wishes to revoke a power of attorney.

The special proxies will exercise voting rights, the right to file motions and the right to make objections only as instructed. If the proxy does not have instructions for a specific resolution, the proxy will abstain. The proxy will also abstain from resolutions for which unclear instructions were issued (e.g. FOR and AGAINST the same resolution at the same time).

Shareholders are requested to issue their instructions to their chosen proxy using the appropriate Section of the form for granting power of attorney, which will be available for download from the Company's website at www.simmoag.at/agm from 11 May 2022 at the latest.

Instructions can be issued together with the power of attorney or also at a later date. Instructions to exercise voting rights, the right to file motions and the right to make objections can be issuedbefore or during the Annual General Meeting until the time determined by the Chairwoman. Until such time, shareholders can amend instructions already issued or issue new instructions.

Multiple safe custody receipts for shares that collectively represent only a 5% stake in the share capital must indicate the same point in time (date, time).

Please refer to the information on eligibility to attend (item IV. of this invitation) with regard to the other requirements for the safe custody receipt.

2. Proposed resolutions for agenda items by shareholders in accordance with Section 110 AktG

Shareholders whose shares individually or collectively amount to 1% of the share capital can submit proposals for resolutions on any item on the agenda in text form within the meaning of Section 13 para 2 AktG, together with the reasons, and request that these proposals and their reasoning, together with the names of the shareholders concerned, and any opinion of the Management Board or the Supervisory Board be published on the Company's registered website, provided the request is delivered to the Company in written or electronic form no later than 20 May 2022 (midnight, CEST, Vienna time) either by fax to +43 (0)1 22795 91125; by post or courier service to its business address at S IMMO AG, Investor Relations Department, Attn. Mr Andreas Feuerstein, Friedrichstrasse 10, 1010 Vienna; or by e-mail at andreas.feuerstein@simmoag.at, with the request attached to the e-mail in written or electronic form as defined by Section 13, para. 2, AktG, for example, as a PDF. If statements are required in text form as defined by Section 13, para. 2, of the AktG, the statement must be submitted in a written instrument or by other means apt for a durable reproduction in the written form. The statement must also name the individual making said statement, and the end of the statement must be identified by a representation of the individual's signature or in some other manner.

In the case of a nomination for the election of a member of the Supervisory Board, pursuant to Section 87, para. 2, AktG, the declaration by the nominated person shall be submitted in lieu of the reasons.

Shareholder status shall be evidenced by submission of a safe custody receipt in accordance with Section 10a AktG that confirms that the safe custody receipt is no more than seven days old at the time of its submission. Multiple safe custody receipts for shares that collectively represent only a 1% stake in the share capital must indicate the same point in time (date, time).

Please refer to the information on eligibility to attend (item IV. of this invitation) with regard to the other requirements for the safe custody receipt.

3. Information as defined by Section 110, para. 2, sentence 2 in conjunction with Section 86, para. 7 and para. 9, AktG

Under agenda item 7, "Elections to the Supervisory Board" and any submission of a relevant nomination by shareholders in accordance with Section 110 AktG, the company makes the following disclosures:

The Supervisory Board of S IMMO AG currently consists of eight members elected by the Annual General Meeting (capital representatives). Of the eight capital representatives, six are men and two are women.

Pursuant to Section 110 ArbVG (Arbeitsverfassungsgesetz), three members – one female and two male employees – were delegated to the Supervisory Board by the works council.

It is announced that an objection pursuant to Section 86 para 9 AktG was raised neither by the majority of the capital representatives nor by the majority of the employee representatives and that therefore the minimum shareholding requirement pursuant to Section 86 para 7 AktG will not be fulfilled separately but in its entirety.

Section 8, para. 1, of the Articles of Incorporation of S IMMO AG specifies that the Supervisory Board shall be comprised of up to ten members elected by the Annual General Meeting.

In the event that nominations are submitted by shareholders in accordance with Section 110 AktG under agenda item 7, "Election to the Supervisory Board", it must be ensured that, in the event that the number of Supervisory Board members to be elected by the Annual General Meeting is eight, at least two women must be members of the Supervisory Board.

As the Supervisory Board already includes two women as capital representatives, with a number of eight Supervisory Board members to be elected by the Annual General Meeting, the minimum proportion requirement pursuant to Section 86 para 7 AktG will in any case also be met after the election at the Annual General Meeting on 01 June 2022.

4. Shareholders' right to information in accordance with Section 118 AktG

At the Annual General Meeting, upon request, each shareholder shall be provided with information regarding the Company's affairs to the extent that such information is necessary to permit a proper evaluation of the relevant item on the agenda. The right to information also extends to the Company's legal relationships to an affiliated company as well as to the position of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.

The information may be refused if, according to reasonable business judgement, it could cause significant harm to the Company or an affiliated company or its disclosure would constitute a criminal offence.

A prerequisite for the exercise of the shareholders' right to information is the proof of entitlement to attend (item IV. of the convocation) and the granting of a corresponding power of attorney to the special proxy (item V. of the convocation).

The right to request information and the right to speak can be exercised by an e-mail sent to the e-mail address created for this purpose, fragen.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at. Please use the question form, which will be available for download from the Company's website at www.simmoag.at/agmfrom 11 May 2022 at the latest, and attach the completed and signed form to your e-mail.

If you send your questions or speeches without using the question form, the identity of the shareholder (name/company, date of birth/shareholder's commercial register number) must be stated. The end of the statement must be clearly identified by a reproduction of the shareholders'. signature or by other means, for example by stating the name of the shareholder/company (Section 13, para. 2, AktG). To enable the Company to ascertain the shareholder's identity and consistency with the safe custody receipt, please also state your custody account number in your e-mail in such event.

If the right to request information/right to speak is exercised by a proxy, proof of power of attorney must also be provided in written or electronic form.

Shareholders are asked to send their questions in advance before the Annual General Meeting in written or electronic form by e-mail to fragen.simmoag@hauptversammlung.atin time to reach the Company at the latest on the 3rd working day before the Annual General Meeting, which is 27 May 2022. By doing so, you will enable the Management Board to prepare their exact responses to the questions you submit and deliver them as quickly as possible.

This will enable the Management Board to prepare its answers as accurately as possible and to answer your questions as quickly as possible.

Shareholders can also send their questions and statements to the Company during the Annual General Meeting, exclusively in written form by e-mail sent directly to fragen.simmoag@hauptversammlung.at. Please note that the Chairwoman can set appropriate time limits for questions and statements during the Annual General Meeting.

The requirement for exercising a shareholder's right to request information is proof of eligibility in accordance with Section IV of this invitation.

5. Motions from shareholders in the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Section 119 AktG

Each shareholder has the right (regardless of their specific share ownership) to submit motions on any item on the agenda through his or her special proxy at the virtual Annual General Meeting pursuant to the COVID-19-GesG and the COVID-19-GesV.

Motions, however, may be submitted only to the proxy authorised by the shareholder and filed by said proxy.

The point in time until which instructions for the submission of motions to the special proxy will be possible shall be determined by the Chairwoman in the course of the virtual General Meeting.

The requirement for doing so is proof of eligibility to attend in accordance with item IV. of this invitation and the granting of a corresponding power of attorney to the special proxy in accordance with item V. of this invitation.

A shareholder's motion for the election of a member of the Supervisory Board requires the timely submission of a nomination in accordance with Section 110 AktG. Only shareholders whose shares collectively amount to 1% of the share capital can nominate people for election to the Supervisory Board (agenda item 7). These nominations must be received by the Company no later than 20 May 2022 as described above (item VI. Section 2). According to Section 87, para. 2, AktG, each nomination must include a declaration by the nominated person with information on their professional qualifications, their professional or comparable roles and any circumstances which could give rise to concerns regarding impartiality.

Otherwise, the shareholder motion for the election of a member of the Supervisory Board may not be taken into account during the vote.

Please refer to the information in item VI, para. 3, with regard to the information pursuant to Section 110, para. 2, sentence 2, in conjunction with Section 86, para. 7 and para. 9, AktG.

6. Information for shareholders regarding data processing

S IMMO AG processes the personal data of its shareholders (in particular, those defined in Section 10a, para. 2, AktG, being the name, address, date of birth, securities account number, number of shares held by the shareholder, if applicable share category, voting card number, and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the proxy) under the applicable data protection provisions, but in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DPA) in order to enable the shareholders to exercise their rights at the Annual General Meeting.

The processing of the shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the shareholders and their proxies to attend the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The legal basis for the processing is therefore Article 6 (1) c) of the GDPR.

S IMMO AG is the data controller for the processing. S IMMO AG uses external service providers, such as notaries, lawyers, special proxies, banks and IT service providers, to organise the Annual General Meeting. These service providers only receive personal data from S IMMO AG that are necessary for the execution of service ordered, and they process the data only in accordance with S IMMO AG's instructions. Insofar as it is legally necessary, S IMMO AG has entered into a data protection agreement with these service providers.

If a shareholder attends the virtual Annual General Meeting, all of the proxies, members of the Management and Supervisory Boards, and the notary who are present will be able to view their name on the list of participants, which must be kept by law (Section 117 AktG), and will thereby also view the personal data (including their address and share details) contained therein. S IMMO AG is also required by law to submit its shareholders' personal data (in particular the list of participants) to the Commercial Register (Firmenbuch) as part of the notarial record (Section 120 AktG).

Shareholder information will be anonymised or deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, and unless other legal obligations require further storage. Legal obligations regarding documentation and data retention primarily arise from business, stock corporation and takeover laws, fiscal and tax laws, and money laundering laws. If legal claims are made by shareholders against S IMMO AG or vice versa by S IMMO AG against shareholders, the storage of personal data shall serve to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with legal proceedings brought before civil courts, this may lead to the storage of data during the period of limitation plus the duration of the legal proceedings until its final legal termination.

Every shareholder has the right of access, right to rectification, erasure ('right to be forgotten'), restriction of processing, and the right to object at any time regarding the processing of personal data as well as the right to data portability in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR. Shareholders can assert these rights free of charge by contacting S IMMO AG by e-mail at media@simmoag.ator via the following contact details:

S IMMO AG
Friedrichstrasse 10, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Phone: +43 (0)1 22795-1112
Fax: +43 (0)1 22795-91112

In addition, the shareholders have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (Data Protection Authority) in accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR.

Additional information on data protection can be found in the privacy policy on the S IMMO AG website www.simmoag.at.
