[September 2001]
Wienerberger Announces Share Buy-Back Programme
Background: A resolution passed by the 131st AGM on 4 May 2000 authorised the Managing Board to buy back up to 10% of the issued capital of Wienerberger AG during a period of 18 months beginning on the day the resolution was passed.
Subsequently - on 21 September 2001 - the Managing Board of Wienerberger AG decided to make use of this authorisation. During the period from 1 October 2001 and 31 October 2001, the company could therefore purchase up to 6,300,000 shares, or up to 9.07% of present issued share capital.
This buy-back will be made at the current share price over the Vienna Stock Exchange. Shares repurchased during this period will be cancelled to improve the company's capital structure and optimise the cost of capital.
Changes and completed transactions will be published on the company's web site at http://www.wienerberger.com/ to meet publication requirements set forth in Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Publication Decree for the Repurchase of Stock, which was issued by the Austrian Minister of Finance.
