Vienna (pta/29.06.2011/12:15) - Amendment to the announcement from June 17, 2011 that TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC holds more than 5% of Wienerberger stock

The Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) informed us that in their view certain information was missing in our June 17, 2011 announcement concerning a change in the shareholder structure. In the following, we would like to supply this data. The additional text is printed in bold for clearer presentation.

Wienerberger AG has received an announcement in accordance with § 91 (1) of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act concerning a change in the number of Wienerberger shares owned by TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC, which is based in the USA. As of June 15, 2011, TIAA-CREF reported a holding of 5,899,640 shares or 5.02% of issued share capital in Wienerberger AG through its funds, investment management companies and affiliates.

The College Retirement Equities Fund ("CREF") owns a total of 5,853,376 or 4.98% Wienerberger shares (of 117,526,764 total shares outstanding) through two of its investment accounts, the CREF Stock Account and the CREF Global Equities Account. Additionally affiliates of CREF own 46,264 shares. These holdings are owned by TIAA-CREF Active Extension Funds, which are managed by Teacher Advisors, Inc., that is affiliated with TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC. Because Teachers Advisors, Inc. and TIAA-CREF Investment Management, LLC follow the same policies when voting these funds, the holdings were aggregated.
