The supervisory board of PORR AG (the Company) today approved the potential sale of up to 1,703,674 treasury shares in the Company (ISIN AT0000609607), corresponding to around 4.33% of the Company's share capital, to institutional investors by means of an accelerated private placement (accelerated bookbuilding process).

By resolution of the annual general meeting on 27 May 2021, the management board was authorised for five years, with the approval of the supervisory board, to sell treasury shares in ways other than via the stock exchange or through a public offer. As the shareholders' pro rata purchase right (subscription right) was already excluded at the annual general meeting on the basis of the report submitted by the management board in this regard, no new report is now required.

A consortium of three banks was mandated to evaluate a possible transaction.

The exact timing, the exact number and the conditions of a possible sale of treasury shares depend in particular on the capital market environment, the share price performance of PORR AG, the buying interest of potential investors and a resolution by the management board.

The proceeds from the potential sale of treasury shares will be used to further strengthen the Company's capital structure, particularly in connection with investments in infrastructure programmes in Germany, Poland and the CEE countries.
