The Executive Board of Bilfinger SE, Mannheim has decided, with the

The Executive Board exercised the authorisation granted by the general

authorised to acquire until May 23, 2022 treasury shares in an amount of up
to 10% of the capital stock of Bilfinger SE at the time of the resolution

the purchase price per share (excluding incidental acquisition costs) shall
not exceed by more than 10%, and not fall short of by more than 20%, the
opening auction price on the trading day in Frankfurt am Main in the XETRA

The purchase of treasury shares will be carried out by instructing one
credit institution. The credit institution undertook to carry out the share
buy-back exclusively via the stock exchange and in accordance with the
authorisation granted by the shareholders at the annual general meeting of
Bilfinger SE held on May 24, 2017 and the requirements laid down in
Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 and Delegate Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.

timing of the purchases of the shares of Bilfinger SE independently of and
without any influence from Bilfinger SE within the meaning of Art. 4(2)
lit. b) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 In particular, the credit

can be suspended and also resumed at any time
