Convening of the
140th Annual General Meeting of
UBM Development AG

on Thursday, 27 May 2021, at 2:00 p.m., Vienna time

The location of the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Section 106 (1) of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz - "AktG")
is 1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47

I. Holding a virtual Annual General Meeting

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 legal provision to hold a virtual Annual General Meeting.

The Annual General Meeting of UBM Devlopment AG on 27 May 2021 will be held as a "virtual general meeting" in the meaning of Section 1 (2) of the COVID-19-Act (Federal Law Gazette I No 16/2020 as amended by Federal Law Gazette I No 156/2020) and of the COVID-19-Regulation (Federal Law Gazette II No 140/2020 as amended by Federal Law Gazette II No 616/2020), taking into account the interests of both the Company and the participants.

According to the decision of the Management Board, this means that shareholders and their representatives (except the special voting proxy holders pursuant to Section 3 (4) of the COVID-19-Regulation) cannot be physically present at the Annual General Meeting of UBM Development AG on 27 May 2021.

The virtual Annual General Meeting will be held at Absberggasse 47, 1100 Vienna, exclusively in the physical presence of the Supervisory Board Chairman, the Chairman of the Management Board as well as the other Management Board members, the certifying notary public and the four special voting proxy holders proposed by the Company.

Holding the Annual General Meeting as a virtual general meeting in accordance with the COVID-19-Regulation results in modifications to the procedures of the Annual General Meeting as well as to the exercise of shareholders' rights.

The exercise of voting rights, the right to propose resolutions and the right to raise objections can only be exercised by one of the special voting proxy holders proposed by the Company in accordance with Section 3 (4) COVID-19-Regulation.

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 submitting questions in text form exclusively by e-mail directly to the Management Board, exclusively at vorstand@ubm-development.com, provided that the shareholders have sent a deposit receipt (Depotbestätigung) pursuant to Section 10a AktG according to item IV. and authorised a special voting proxy holder according to item V. before the deadline stated

2. Broadcast of the Annual General Meeting on the Internet
In accordance with Section 3 (1), (2) and (4) COVID-19-Regulation in conjunction with Section 102 (4) AktG, the Annual General Meeting will be broadcast by audiovisual means on the Internet in full and in real time.

This is permissible under data protection law with regard to the legal basis of Section 3 (1), (2) and (4) COVID-19-Regulation.

All shareholders of the Company can attend the Annual General Meeting as a virtual Annual General Meeting using the appropriate equipment (e.g. computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone together with an Internet connection with sufficient bandwidth for streaming videos) via Internet at www.ubm-development.com, as from approximately 2:00 p.m., Vienna time, on 27 May 2021. There is no need for registration or login to attend the Annual General Meeting.

As the virtual Annual General Meeting will be broadcast on the Internet, all shareholders will be able to follow the Annual General Meeting and, in particular, the Management Board's presentation, the answers to shareholders' questions and the voting process in real time via this one-way audiovisual connection.

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 AktG) and remote voting (Section 102 (3) No 3 AktG and Section 126 AktG) and that the Internet broadcast is not a two-way connection. The individual shareholder can therefore only follow the course of the Annual General Meeting.

It is also to be noted that the Company is only responsible for the use of technical means of communication to the extent that these are attributable to its own sphere (Section 2 (6) COVID-19-Regulation).

Furthermore, reference is made to the information on the organisational and technical requirements for participation pursuant to Section 3 (3) in conjunction with Section 2 (4) COVID-19-Regulation ("Information Concerning Participation").

3. Shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 AktG
Each shareholder, upon request, is to be provided with information on the Company's matters at the Annual General Meeting to the extent that such information is necessary for the proper assessment of an item of the agenda. The obligation to provide information shall also include the Company´s legal and business relationships to affiliated companies as well as to the situation of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company may refuse to provide such information if reasonable business judgement suggests that disclosure of the same may cause a material disadvantage to the Company or an affiliate or may be a punishable offence.
In order to exercise the shareholders' right to information, a shareholder must provide proof of the right to participate (item IV. of the convening notice) and grant a proxy to a special voting proxy holder (item V. of the convening notice).

It is expressly stated that the right to information and the right to speak during this virtual Annual General Meeting can only be exercised by the shareholders themselves by submitting questions or statements via electronic mail directly to the Company's e-mail address vorstand@ubm-development.com.

The shareholders are requested to send all questions beforehand in text form by email to vorstand@ubm-development.com so that these are received by the Company no later than on the third working day before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. 21 May 2021. This will serve to ensure that the Annual General Meeting is conducted efficiently in the interests of all participants in the Annual General Meeting, especially in dealing with questions requiring lengthy preparation.

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

Please use the question form, which is available on the Company's website at www.ubm-development.com. If this question form is not used, the person addressing the question (name/company, date of birth/Companies' Register number of the shareholder) must be stated in the respective e-mail. In order to enable the Company to establish the identity and conformity with the deposit receipt, we kindly request you to also state your custody account number in the e-mail in this case.

Please note that the chairman may define appropriate time limits during the Annual General Meeting.

More detailed information and ways of exercising the shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 AktG are provided in the Information Concerning Participation.

4. Shareholder requests at the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Section 119 AktG
Every shareholder, irrespective of the number of shares s/he holds, is entitled to file a request at the virtual Annual General Meeting pursuant to the provisions of the COVID-19-Act and the COVID-19 Regulation by way of his special voting proxy holder with respect to any item on the agenda.

The time until which instructions can be issued to the special voting proxy holders with regard to a submitted request will be determined by the chairman in the course of the virtual Annual General Meeting.

The prerequisite for this is the evidence of the right to participate according to item IV. of this convening notice and the granting of a corresponding power of attorney to the special voting proxy holder according to item V. of this convening notice.

More detailed information and ways of exercising the shareholders' right to propose requests pursuant to Section 119 AktG are provided in the Information Concerning Participation.

5. Information on data protection
UBM Development AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a (2) AktG, i.e. name, address, date of birth, number of the securities account, number of shares of the shareholder, type of share if applicable, number of the voting card and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the proxy) on the basis of the applicable data protection provisions, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act, in order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights within the framework of the Annual General Meeting.
The processing of shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the participation of shareholders and their proxies at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Article 6 (1) c) GDPR, in particular in connection with the provisions of stock corporation law mentioned below.
UBM Development AG is responsible for the processing. UBM Development AG uses external service providers such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers for the purpose of organising the Annual General Meeting. UBM Development AG will only provide these service providers with personal data that is necessary for the execution of the services they have been commissioned with. Insofar as they act as data processors, they process the data exclusively in accordance with the instructions of UBM Development AG. Where legally necessary, UBM Development AG has concluded a data protection agreement with these service providers.
If a shareholder attends the Annual General Meeting, all shareholders present or their proxies, the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and all other persons with a legal right to attend may inspect the legally prescribed list of participants (Section 117 AktG) and thereby also inspect the personal data mentioned therein (i.a. name, place of residence, shareholding). UBM Development AG is also legally obliged to submit personal shareholder data (in particular the list of participants) as part of the notarial minutes to the companies' register (Section 120 AktG).
Shareholders' data will be anonymized or deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed, and unless other legal obligations require further storage. Obligations to provide evidence and to retain records arise in particular from corporate law, stock corporation law and takeover law, tax law and money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by shareholders against UBM Development AG or vice versa by UBM Development AG against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with court proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to the storage of data for the duration of the statute of limitations plus the duration of the court proceedings up to its legally binding completion.
Every shareholder in accordance with the provisions of data protection law has a right to information, correction, restriction, objection and deletion with regard to the processing of personal data and a right to data transmission in accordance with Chapter III of the GDPR. Shareholders can assert these rights against UBM Development AG free of charge via the email address datenschutz@ubm-development.com or via the following contact details:

UBM Development AG
Phone: +43 50 626-2600
Laaer-Berg-Straße 43
1100 Vienna

In addition, shareholders have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR; in Austria this is the data protection authority.

Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection declaration on the website of UBM Development AG at www.ubm-development.com.
