CONVOCATION
of the
Annual General Meeting of
ams-OSRAM AG
on Friday, June 24, 2022 at 10.00 am Vienna time
at A-8141 Premstaetten, Tobelbader Strasse 30.

I. HOLDING OF THE GENERAL MEETING IN VIRTUAL FORM WITHOUT PHYSICAL
PRESENSE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

1. COVID-19 Act on Corporate Law (COVID-19-CorpAct) and COVID-19
Regulation on Corporate Law (COVID-19-CorpReg)

The General Meeting of ams-OSRAM AG will be held on June 24, 2022 in the
form of a “virtual general meeting” pursuant to section 1 para 2 of the
COVID-19-CorpAct (BGBl. I Nr. 16/2020 aab BGBl. I Nr. 246/2021) and the
COVID-19-CorpReg (BGBl. II Nr. 140/2020 aab BGBl. II 609/2021). Due to the
corresponding lead times for the organization of the Annual General
Meeting and the uncertainties caused by the pandemic that still exist at
the time of its preparation, the Management Board has decided, after
careful consideration, to hold this year's Annual General Meeting without
the physical presence of its shareholders. This is also supported by the
Supervisory Board of the Company.

This means that shareholders cannot be physically present at the General
Meeting of ams-OSRAM AG on June 24, 2022.

The virtual General Meeting will be held in the exclusive presence of the
Chairman of the Supervisory Board, the Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory
Board, the Chairman of the Management Board and further members of the
Management Board, the attesting public notary and four independent special
voting proxies, appointed by the Company, in 8141 Premstaetten, Tobelbader
Strasse 30.

The holding of the Annual General Meeting as virtual general meeting
pursuant to COVID-19-CorpReg leads to certain changes from face-to-face
general meetings, as outlined in this Convocation and the referenced
documents.

The voting right, the right to make motions and the right to raise
objections can be exercised only through granting of power of attorney and
issuing respective instructions to one of the special voting proxies
appointed by the Company.

The information rights can be exercised directly by the shareholders also
in this virtual General Meeting by way of electronic communication, i.e.
in text form via e-mail exclusively to
fragen.ams-osram@hauptversammlung.at, provided that the shareholders have
provided a deposit confirmation pursuant to section 10a of the Austrian
Stock Corporation Act (“AktG”) in time and granted power of authority to
one of the special voting proxies pursuant to section 5.

2. Broadcasting of the General Meeting on the Internet

The General Meeting will be entirely broadcast live in both audio and
visual form on the internet pursuant to section 3 para 4 COVID-19-CorpReg
in conjunction with section 102 para 4 AktG. This is in compliance with
data protection laws pursuant to section 3 para. 1, 2 and 4
COVID-19-CorpReg.

According to § 8 para 1 of the Articles of Association of ams-OSRAM AG,
the Supervisory Board consists of a minimum of three and a maximum of
eight members elected by the General Meeting as well as the corresponding
members delegated in accordance with delegated pursuant to section 110 of
the Austrian Work Organisation Act (“ArbVG”).

ams-OSRAM AG is subject to section 86 para 7 AktG.

It is communicated that a contradiction in accordance with section 86 para
9 AktG was neither raised by the Shareholder Representatives nor by the

proportion requirements pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG is applicable.

The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG currently consists of eight members
elected by the General Meeting (Shareholder Representatives) and four
members delegated by the Works Council (Employee Representatives) pursuant
to section 110 ArbVG. The Shareholder Representatives currently consist of
four women and four men. The Employee Representatives currently consist of
one woman and three men. Therefore, the Company fulfils the minimum quota
pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG.

The Supervisory Board mandates of Hans Jörg Kaltenbrunner, Michael Grimm,
Yen Yen Tan, Monika Henzinger, Kin Wah Loh and Brian M. Krzanich will
expire at the end of the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Out of six members to be elected, at least one woman will have to be
nominated in order to again comply with the minimum proportion
requirements pursuant to section 86 para 7 AktG.

4. Information rights (section 118 AktG)

Each shareholder must – upon request – be informed in the General Meeting
on the matters concerning the Company, to the extent that such information
is necessary to appropriately assess an item on the agenda. This
information right also covers the Company’s legal relations to affiliated
entities as well as the situation of the overall group and the companies
consolidated in the group financial report.

The disclosure of information may be refused if, according to reasonable
entrepreneurial assessment, it is likely to cause serious damage to the
Company or an affiliated company or if disclosure of such information is
punishable under applicable law.

As prerequisite for the exercise of information rights, shareholders have
to prove their right to participate pursuant to section IV. of the
convocation and the issue of a respective power of attorney to one of the
special voting proxies pursuant to section V. of this convocation.

It is hereby expressly stated that in this virtual General Meeting, the

so that the questions are received by the Company on the third working day
prior to the General Meeting, i.e. June 21, 2022, at the latest.
This is to ensure a smooth and efficient General Meeting, and will allow
for a proper preparation and swift responses to the raised questions by
the Management Board in the General Meeting, particularly for questions,
which require a longer preparation time.

Please use the question form, which will be available on the Company’s
website at ams-osram.com/general-meeting. If this question form is not
used, any e-mail has to indicate the person (name/company name, date of
birth/company register number of the shareholder). Furthermore,
shareholders are asked to please include their respective deposit account
number in such e-mail, for the Company to ascertain the identity and
conformity with the deposit certificate.

Please note that the Chairman of the General Meeting may set reasonable
time limits during the General Meeting.

Furthermore, please also refer to the Information on Participation, which
will be available on the Company’s website ams-osram.com/general-meeting.

Each shareholder is - irrespective of a specific share ownership -
entitled to make motions at the virtual General Meeting in accordance
COVID-19-CorpAct and COVID-19-CorpReg through its appointed special voting

virtual General Meeting.

Prerequisite for any such motion is evidence of the attendance right
pursuant to section IV. Of this convocation and a power of attorney
granted to one of the special voting proxies in accordance with section V.
of this convocation.

6. Information for shareholders on data processing

ams-OSRAM AG processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those
pursuant to section 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (“AktG”),
i.e. name, address, date of birth, number of the securities account,
number of shares of the shareholder, if applicable share class, number of
the voting card, and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the
authorized representative[s]) in accordance with the applicable data
protection laws, in particular the European General Data Protection
Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Austrian Data Protection Act, in order to
enable the shareholders to exercise their rights at the General Meeting.

The processing of the personal data of shareholders is a mandatory
requirement for the attendance and participation of shareholders and their
representatives at the General Meeting. The legal basis for processing is
Article 6 para 1 lit. (c) GDPR.

ams-OSRAM AG is the responsible body for processing. ams-OSRAM AG makes
use of several external service providers (such as for example public
notaries, attorneys, banks, IT-providers, etc) for the purposes of holding
of the General Meeting. These service providers of ams-OSRAM AG will only
receive certain personal data from ams-OSRAM AG which are necessary for
the rendering of the commissioned service and will process the data
exclusively pursuant to the instructions of ams-OSRAM AG. ams-OSRAM AG has
concluded respective agreements under data protection laws with these
service providers to the extent legally required.

If a shareholder attends the General Meeting, all present shareholders or
their representatives, the members of the Management Board and the
Supervisory Board, the notary public and all other persons with a
statutory right to attend the General Meeting are entitled to inspect the
legally required attendance list (section 117 AktG) and, therefore, able
to see the personal data contained in such list (inter alia name,
residence, shareholding). Moreover, ams-OSRAM AG is required by statutory
law to submit personal data of shareholders (in particular the list of
attendees) as part of the notarial protocol to the company register
(section 120 AktG).

The data of shareholders 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.
Such statutory documentation and retention obligations are particularly
resulting from commercial law, stock corporation law, takeover law, tax
law as well as from anti-money laundering laws. If legal claims are
asserted by shareholders against ams-OSRAM AG or by ams-OSRAM AG against
shareholders, the stored personal data serves the purpose of clarifying
and enforcing such claims in individual cases. In the context of legal
proceedings involving civil lawsuits, this may lead to storage of personal
data during the statute of limitations period plus the duration of such
legal proceedings until their finally binding conclusion.

Each shareholder has a right to information, rectification, limitation,
opposition and cancellation at any time regarding the processing of
personal data, as well as a right to data transfer according to Chapter
III of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Shareholders can assert these rights free of charge to ams-OSRAM AG via
the following contact details:

ams-OSRAM AG
Data Protection Officer

Tobelbader Strasse 30

8141 Premstaetten

E-mail: privacy@ams-osram.com

In addition, the shareholders have the right of appeal to the data
protection supervisory authorities for data protection pursuant to Article
77 GDPR. Further information on data protection is accessible on the
Company’s website ams-osram.com/privacy-policy.
