Convening of the
139th Annual General Meeting of
UBM Development AG
("Company")
on Thursday, 28. May 2020, at 2:00 p.m. (CET)
1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47

I. Holding a virtual General Meeting without physical presence of the shareholders

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 possibility of a virtual general meeting created on the basis of the new legal regulation.

The Annual General Meeting of UBM Devlopment AG on 28 May 2020 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 24/2020) and of the COVID-19-Regulation (Federal Law Gazette II No 140/2020, as amended), taking into account the interests of both the Company and the participants.

According to the decision of the Management Board, this means that for health protection reasons, shareholders and their representatives (with the exception of the special proxies in accordance with Section 3 (4) of the COVID-19-Regulation) cannot be physically present at the Annual General Meeting of UBM Development AG on 28 May 2020.

The Annual General Meeting will take place in 1100 Vienna, Absberggasse 47, in the presence of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, the Chairman of the Management Board and other members of the Management Board, the certifying notary and the four special proxies appointed by the Company.

The holding of the Annual General Meeting as a virtual general meeting in accordance with the COVID-19-Regulation leads to modifications in the otherwise customary course of the General Meeting as well as in the exercise of shareholders' rights.
The exercise of voting rights, the right to make requests and the right to object shall be effected exclusively by granting power of attorney and giving instructions to one of the special proxies 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 sending questions in text form by e-mail directly to the Management Board, exclusively at:
vorstand@ubm-development.com.

2. Transmission of the Annual General Meeting on the Internet
In accordance with Section 3 (4) COVID-19-Regulation in conjunction with Section 102 (4) Stock Corporation Act, the Annual General Meeting is broadcast in full in video and audio in real time on the Internet.

This is permissible under data protection law with regard to the legal basis of Section 3 (4) 3 COVID-19-Regulation and Section 102 (4) Stock Corporation Act.

All shareholders of the Company can follow the Annual General Meeting on 28 May 2020 from approx. 2:00 p.m. on the Internet at http://www.ubm-development.com, under the menu items "Investor Relations" and "Annual General Meeting 2020", as a virtual General Meeting using appropriate technical aids.

The transmission of the Annual General Meeting on the Internet gives all shareholders who so wish the opportunity to follow the course of the Annual General Meeting in real time through this acoustic and optical connection and to follow the presentation by the Management Board and the answers to shareholders' questions.

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 of the Stock Corporation Act) and remote voting (Section 102 (3) No 3 of the Stock Corporation Act and Section 126 of the Stock Corporation Act) and that the transmission on the Internet is not a two-way connection.

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 sphere of responsibility.

In addition, reference is made to the organisational and technical requirements for participation in the virtual Annual General Meeting as set out in this convening notice in accordance with Section 2 (4) COVID-19-Regulation and to the document FURTHER INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 OF THE STOCK CORPORATION ACT, IN PARTICULAR, UNDER THE CORPORATE COVID-19-REGULATION, THE PROCEDURE OF THE GENERAL MEETING AND INFORMATION ON THE PROTECTION OF SHAREHOLDERS' DATA, available on the Company's website at http://www.ubm-development.com under the menu items "Investor Relations" and "Annual General Meeting 2020".

The submission of a proposal for resolution, the casting of votes and the raising of an objection in this virtual general meeting of UBM Development AG on 28 May 2020 can only be carried out by one of the special proxies according to Section 3 (4) COVID-19-Regulation.

The following persons, who are suitable and independent of the company, are proposed as special proxies:

Each shareholder may select one of the four persons named above as his or her special proxy and grant this person power of attorney.

The granting of a power of attorney to another person is not permissible pursuant to Section 3 (4) COVID-19-Regulation and is therefore invalid.

Express reference is made to the fact that the special proxy authorized by the shareholder does not accept any instructions to ask questions or read out speeches. The right to information can rather be exercised by shareholders themselves by means of electronic communication, namely by sending questions in text form by e-mail directly to the Management Board, exclusively at: vorstand@ubm-development.com.

It is recommended to contact the special proxy authorized by the shareholder in good time if the special proxy authorized by the shareholder is to be instructed to submit proposals for resolutions and/or to raise an objection in the virtual general meeting on one or more items on the agenda.

It is expressly requested that the e-mail address and a password be provided when granting a power of attorney in order to enable or facilitate in a suitable manner the verification of the identity of the shareholder concerned when communicating at a later date, in particular during the Annual General Meeting by e-mail.

To grant a proxy, please visit the company's website at http://www.ubm-development.com, under the menu items "Investor Relations" and "Annual General Meeting 2020", where a separate proxy form is available for each. Please read this proxy form carefully and also note the FURTHER INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 OF THE STOCK CORPORATION ACT, IN PARTICULAR, UNDER THE CORPORATE COVID-19-REGULATION, THE PROCEDURE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND INFORMATION ON THE PROTECTION OF SHAREHOLDERS' DATA, available on the Internet at http://www.ubm-development.com, under the menu items items "Investor Relations" and "Annual General Meeting 2020".

In your interest, the proxies should be received at the latest by 27 May 2020, 4:00 p.m., CEST, Vienna time, at the corresponding e-mail address of your special proxy named below:

(i) knap.ubm@hauptversammlung.at
(ii) reisch.ubm@hauptversammlung.at
(iii) varga.ubm@hauptversammlung.at
(iv) welser.ubm@hauptversammlung.at

This type of transmission means that only the special proxy selected and authorized by you, and not one of the other proxies, has direct access to the power of attorney.

However, a personal handover of the power of attorney to the special proxy at the place of the meeting is expressly excluded for the purpose of ensuring the special measures based on COVID-19.

Otherwise, the following communication channels and addresses are available for the transmission of the power of attorney to the special proxies:

By mail or courier UBM Development AG
c/o HV-Veranstaltungsservice GmbH
Köppel 60
8242 St. Lorenzen/Wechsel
By fax +43 (0) 1 8900 500-77
By SWIFT GIBAATWGGMS
(Message Type MT598 oder MT599, ISIN AT0000815402 must be stated mandatorily in the text)

In the interest of smooth processing, we ask you to always use the forms provided.
Details regarding the granting of a proxy, in particular the text form and the content of the proxy, are set out in the proxy form provided to the shareholders.
The above provisions on the granting of the proxy shall apply accordingly to the revocation of the proxy.

VI. INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS AS DEFINED IN SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 STOCK CORPORATION ACT
1. Amendments to the agenda by shareholders pursuant to Section 109 Stock Corporation Act
Shareholders who collectively hold shares corresponding to 5% of the share capital and who have held those shares for at least three months prior to filing a request may request in writing that additional items be included in the agenda of this Annual General Meeting and published, provided that such a request is received in writing by mail or courier no later than on 7 May 2020 (midnight CET, local Vienna time) by the Company exclusively to the address UBM Development AG, to the attention of Mag. Ralf Mikolasch, 1100 Vienna, Laaer-Berg-Straße 43. Every item so requested to be included in the agenda must be accompanied by a proposal for a resolution including a statement of the reasons. The shareholder status has to be evidenced by providing a deposit confirmation as defined in Section 10a Stock Corporation Act, which certifies that the requesting shareholders have held their shares for at least three months prior to filing the request and such evidence must not be older than seven days at the time it is presented to the Company. With regard to other deposit confirmation requirements, we refer to the information about the requirements for participating in the Annual General Meeting (item IV. of this convening notice).

2. Shareholders' proposals for resolutions on the agenda pursuant to Section 110 Stock Corporation Act

With regard to other deposit confirmation requirements, we refer to the information about the requirements for participating in the Annual General Meeting (item IV. of this convening notice).

3. Shareholders' right to information pursuant to Section 118 Stock Corporation Act
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 situa-tion 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.

Express reference is made to the fact that the right to information pursuant to Section 118 Stock Corporation Act can also be exercised by the shareholders themselves at the virtual general meeting during the Annual General Meeting. Please note that reasonable time limits may be set by the Chairman during the Annual General Meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders are requested to send all questions in text form by email to vorstand@ubm-development.com in good time so that these are received by the Company no later than on the second working day before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. Tuesday, 26 May 2020.

This will enable the Management Board to prepare as accurately as possible and to answer the questions you ask at the Annual General Meeting as quickly as possible.

Please use the question form, which is available on the Company's website at http://www.ubm-development.com, under the menu items "Investor Relations" and "Annual General Meeting 2020".
It is expressly requested that the email address and a password be included in the question form in order to enable or facilitate in an appropriate manner the verification of the identity of the shareholder concerned when communicating at a later date, in particular during the General Meeting by e-mail.

A prerequisite for the exercise of the shareholders' right to information 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 proxy according to item V. of this convening notice.

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

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 proxy according to item V. of this convening notice.

For FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 109, 110, 118 AND 119 OF THE STOCK CORPORATION ACT, IN PARTICULAR WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE CORPORATE COVID-19-REGULATION, THE PROCEDURE OF THE GENERAL MEETING AND INFORMATION ON THE PROTECTION OF SHAREHOLDERS' DATA, available on the Company's website at http://www.ubm-development.com, under the menu items "Investor Relations" and "Annual General Meeting 2020".

5. Information on the website
Further information on these rights of the shareholders according to Sections 109, 110, 118 and 119 of the Stock Corporation Act in the meaning of the COVID-19-Act and the COVID-19-Regulation and on the procedure of the Annual General Meeting is available on the Company's website http://www.ubm-development.com, under the menu items "Investor Relations" and "An-nual General Meeting 2020".

6. Information on data protection
UBM Development AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a (2) Stock Corporation Act, 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 representatives in the Annual General Meeting pursuant to the Stock Corporation Act.

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 Stock Corporation Act) 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 Stock Corporation Act).

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 http://www.ubm-development.com.
