Invitation to the 29th Annual General Meeting of Rosenbauer International AG on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Vienna Time

The Annual General Meeting within the meaning of section 106 item 1 of the Aktiengesetz (AktG - Austrian Stock Corporation Act) is held at
4060 Leonding, Paschinger Strasse 90, Austria

I. Holding the Annual General Meeting in virtual form

1. COVID-19 Company Law Act and COVID-19 Company Law Regulation

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

Rosenbauer International AG's Annual General Meeting on May 26, 2021 will be held as a "virtual Annual General Meeting" on the basis of section 1 (2) of the COVID-19 Company Law Act, the Austrian Federal Gazette (BGBl) I no. 16/2020 as amended in BGBl. I no. 156/2020 and the COVID-19 Company Law Regulation (BGBl. II 140/2020 as amended in BGBl. II no. 616/2020), taking into account the interests of both the company and the participants.

This means that, in accordance with the Executive Board's resolution, the shareholders and their representatives (with the exception of special voting proxies as per section 3 (4) of the COVID-19 Company Law Act) will not be able to attend the Annual General Meeting of Rosenbauer International AG in person on May 26, 2021.

Only the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Executive Board and other members of the Executive Board, the officiating notary and the four special voting proxies proposed by the company will attend the virtual Annual General Meeting in per-son at 4060 Leonding, Paschinger Straße 90.

Holding the Annual General Meeting as a virtual Annual General Meeting in accordance with the COVID-19 Company Law Regulation results in changes to the course of the Annual General Meeting and to how shareholders exercise their rights.

Voting rights, the right to propose resolutions and the right to raise objections are exer-cised exclusively by one of the special voting proxies proposed by the company as per section 3 (4) of the COVID-19 Company Law Regulation.

Shareholders can exercise their right to information at the virtual Annual General Meeting themselves by way of electronic communication by sending questions in text form, exclusively by e-mail to the company's e-mail address fragen.rosenbauer@hauptversammlung.at, provided the shareholders have sent a deposit certificate within the meaning of section 10a AktG in accordance with item IV. in good time and have granted a special voting proxy in accordance with item V.

2. Streaming the Annual General Meeting on the Internet
In accordance with section 3 (1), (2) and (4) of the COVID-19 Company Law Regulation in connection with section 102 (4) AktG, the Annual General Meeting will be streamed online in real time in full video and audio format.

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

All company shareholders can virtually attend the Annual General Meeting on May 26, 2021 from about 10:00 a.m. Vienna time using a suitable device (e.g. computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone and an Internet connection with sufficient bandwidth to stream videos) at www.rosenbauer.com. No registration or login is required to stream the Annual General Meeting.

Streaming the company's virtual Annual General Meeting allows all shareholders to fol-low the Annual General Meeting in real time via an audio-video link and, in particular, to watch the presentation by the Executive Board, the fielding of shareholders' questions and the voting process.

Please note that this live stream of the virtual Annual General Meeting does not allow for remote participation (section 102 (3) item 2 AktG) or remote voting (section 102 (3) item 3 AktG and section 126 AktG) and the online stream is not a two-way connection. Individual shareholders can therefore only watch the Annual General Meeting.

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.

The requirements for exercising the right to information are proof of eligibility to attend (item IV of the invitation) and the granting of corresponding authorization to a special voting proxy in accordance (item V. of the invitation).

It is expressly noted that the only way for shareholders to exercise their right to infor-mation and the right to speak at this virtual Annual General Meeting by way of electronic post is to send questions/their statement by e-mail directly to the company at fragen.rosenbauer@hauptversammlung.at.

This ensures that the meeting runs efficiently in the interests of all partic-ipants at the Annual General Meeting, in particular for questions that require longer to prepare.

This enables the Executive Board to prepare as much as possible and to answer your questions promptly.

Please use the question form available on the company's website www.rosenbauer.com.

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 Rosen-bauer 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 Regula-tion. 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 Leonding, Austria
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.
