Invitation to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide, Frankfurt am Main ISIN DE 0005773303 We hereby invite our Company s shareholders to attend our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders at the Jahrhunderthalle Frankfurt, Pfaffenwiese, 65929 Frankfurt am Main, on Wednesday June 1, 2011, starting at 10:00 CET. Agenda 1. Presentation of the approved annual financial statements, the approved consolidated financial statements, the management reports of Fraport AG and the Fraport Group for fiscal 2010, with the report of the Supervisory Board and the explanatory report of the Executive Board on the provisions of 289, (4), 315 (4) of the German Commercial Code In accordance with 172 of the German Stock Corporation Act, on March 23, 2011 the Supervisory Board approved and adopted the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements prepared by the Executive Board. Therefore no resolution is required from the Shareholders Meeting on this Agenda Item 1. The documents referred to above can be viewed on the Internet at www.hauptversammlung.fraport.de. They will also be available for inspection at the Annual General Meeting. 2. Resolution on the appropriation of profits for fiscal 2010 The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board propose using the net earnings of 119,925,087.59 for fiscal 2010 to pay a dividend of 1.25 per entitled share amounting to a total of 114,797,778.75 and allocating the remaining amount of 5,127,308.84 to other retained earnings. 3. Resolution on formal approval of the actions of the Executive Board for fiscal 2010 The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board propose that the actions of the members of the Executive Board in office during fiscal 2010 be formally approved for this period.

4. Resolution on formal approval of the actions of the Supervisory Board for fiscal 2010 The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board propose that the actions of the members of the Supervisory Board in office during fiscal 2010 be formally approved for this period. 5. Appointment of an auditor for fiscal 2011 Upon the recommendation of its audit committee, the Supervisory Board proposes the appointment of KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Berlin, as auditors for fiscal 2011. 6. Resolution on the election of new members of the Supervisory Board During the last fiscal year, several members of the Supervisory Board left their positions at their own request: Wolfgang Mayrhuber (as of June 30, 2010), Matthias von Randow (as of July 2, 2010), and Klaus-Peter Müller (as of December 31, 2010). Their court-appointed successors as members of the Supervisory Board are Mr. Stefan H. Lauer; Prof. Klaus-Dieter Scheurle, State Secretary; and Dr. Margarete Haase. These members terms in office are scheduled to terminate as of the end of the AGM on June 1, 2011. The Supervisory Board proposes that effective as of the end of the AGM, the following persons be elected to the Supervisory Board for the remaining term in office of their predecessors, meaning until the end of the AGM that resolves to approve the actions of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board for fiscal 2012: Name Residence Profession Dr. Margarete Ebersberg Member of the Executive Haase Board of Deutz AG Stefan H. Lauer Idstein Member of the Executive Board of Lufthansa AG Prof. Klaus-Dieter Berlin Secretary of State, Federal Scheurle Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development The proposed candidates for the Supervisory Board are members of the following other Supervisory Boards whose formation is required by law and/or the following comparable control bodies of business enterprises in Germany or abroad: Name Dr. Margarete Haase Position(s) held Member of the Board of Directors: DEUTZ (Dalian) Engine Co. Ltd. Seite 2 von 8

Stefan H. Lauer Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Austrian Airlines AG Lufthansa Flight Training GmbH Member of the Supervisory Board: LSG Lufthansa Service Holding AG Lufthansa Cargo AG Pensions-Sicherungs-Verein VvaG ESMT European School of Management and Technology GmbH Member of the Administrative Board: Swiss International Air Lines AG Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale Chairman of the Board of Directors: British Midland Ltd. Member of the Board of Directors: Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corp. SN Airholding SA/NV Günes Ekspres Havacilik A.S. (SunExpress) Prof. Klaus-Dieter Scheurle Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH Member of the Supervisory Board: Deutsche Bahn AG DB Mobility Logistics AG Pursuant to 96 (1) of the German Stock Corporation Act and 6 (2) in connection with 7 (1) Sentence 1 (3) of the Employee Co-Determination Act, the Supervisory Board is composed of ten members to represent the shareholders and ten members to represent the employees. The AGM is not bound by nominations in its choice of the representatives of the shareholders. It is intended that the AGM be permitted to decide as to the election of the new members of the Supervisory Board by way of individual voting. Mr. Lutz Sikorski, City Councilman, died in early January 2011, so a seat among the representatives of the shareholders has been vacant since then. Since the composition of the Supervisory Board is supposed to reflect the composition of the group of shareholders, this seat should be filled with a candidate who is supported by the city of Frankfurt am Main, as Mr. Sikorski was. No suitable candidate had yet been identified by the time at which the AGM was convened. As a result, no provisions have been made for a new election to fill this seat among the representatives of the shareholders. As Seite 3 von 8

soon as a suitable candidate has been identified, it is intended that the candidate first be appointed to the position by a court and then be nominated at the following AGM. 7. Resolution on amendment of 17 of the Articles of Association to enable voting by mail Since the German Act Implementing the Shareholders Rights Directive came into force, on September 1, 2009, the Stock Corporation Act (AktG) has provided the option of casting votes by mail. The necessary framework conditions for this should be created in the Articles of Association. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board therefore propose as follows: The following Para. 3 shall be added to 17 of the Articles of Association: The Executive Board is authorized and empowered to provide that shareholders are permitted to cast their votes in writing or by way of electronic communication ( voting by mail ), even without participating in the shareholders meeting. The Executive Board is also authorized and empowered to establish provisions regarding the procedure used for voting by mail. Company website and documents accessible there This invitation to the AGM, the documents to be made accessible to the AGM and further information in connection with the AGM can be accessed via the Company s website at www.hauptversammlung.fraport.de as from the time at which the AGM is convened. Any counter-motions, nominations and requests for addenda by shareholders that are subject to publication requirements and are received by the Company are also made accessible via the aforementioned website. The abovementioned Internet address also makes it possible to follow the speeches held by the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the Chairman of the Executive Board at the beginning of the AGM. The voting results are also published at this Internet address after the AGM. Total number of shares and voting rights A total of 91,915,588 shares had been issued at the time of convening the AGM. Each share certificate issued bestows a voting right; thus the number of voting rights also comes to 91,915,588. Of the 91,915,588 shares, 77,365 are held by Fraport AG itself (treasury shares) at the time of convening. The treasury shares do not grant voting rights as long as they are held by Fraport AG. Conditions for participating in the AGM and exercising voting rights (with evidence deadline pursuant to 123 (3) Sentence 3 of the German Stock Corporation Act and its importance) Those shareholders shall be entitled to participate in the AGM and exercise voting rights who register with the Company at the address stated below in text form ( 126b of the German Civil Code) and forward to the Company at this address special evidence of their shareholding, also issued in text form ( 126b of the German Civil Code), by their custodian bank in German or English: Seite 4 von 8

Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide c/o Deutsche Bank AG Securities Production General Meetings Postfach 20 01 07 60605 Frankfurt am Main e-mail: WP.HV@Xchanging.com Fax: 069 12012-86045 The evidence of share ownership must be dated the beginning of May 11, 2011 (0:00 CET socalled evidence deadline ). The registration and evidence must reach the Company by the end of May 25, 2011 (24:00 CET) at the latest. In their relationship to the Company only those persons shall be deemed to be shareholders for the purpose of participating in the meeting and exercising voting rights who have provided the special evidence of share ownership. Should the Company entertain doubts as to the correctness or authenticity of the evidence, it shall be entitled to request suitable further documentation. Should this documentation not be forthcoming or not be in the proper form, the Company may reject the shareholder. Entitlement to participation or the scope of voting rights is based exclusively on the shareholder s shareholding at the evidence deadline. The evidence deadline does not imply any block on the ability to sell the shares held. Even in the case of complete or partial sale of the shareholding after the evidence deadline, only the shareholding of the shareholder at the evidence deadline is of importance for participation and the scope of voting rights, meaning that sales of shares after the documentation deadline have no effect on entitlement to participation and the scope of voting rights. The same applies for purchases and additional purchases of shares after the evidence deadline. Persons who do not yet own any shares at the evidence deadline and only become shareholders afterwards are only entitled to participate and vote for the shares they hold if they obtain proxy authorization or authorization to exercise such rights from the previous shareholder. The evidence deadline has no significance for dividend entitlement. After receipt of the registration and special evidence of share ownership by the Company admission cards for participation in the AGM are sent to the shareholders. Procedure for voting by proxy Shareholders may have their voting rights and other rights in the AGM exercised by proxies, e.g. by a bank, an association of shareholders, a proxy appointed by the Company or by a third party. In these cases too, punctual registration for the AGM and evidence of share ownership in accordance with the aforementioned provisions are necessary. Should the shareholder authorize more than one person, the Company may refuse one or more of these. According to 134 (3) Sentence 3 of the German Stock Corporation Act, the granting, cancellation and documentation of proxy vis-à-vis the Company must be provided in text form. The requirement of a text form does not apply if a bank, an association of shareholders or another person or institution of equal status pursuant to 135 (8) and (10) of the German Stock Corporation Act is to be appointed proxy. We must point out, however, that the person or institution to be appointed as proxy may require a special form of authorization in these cases Seite 5 von 8

because 135 of the Stock Corporation Act requires them to keep a verifiable record of the authorization. Please therefore agree on a possible form of authorization with the parties to be authorized in such cases. This authorization may be granted to the authorized party or to the Company. Evidence of the authority granted may be provided by the authorized party presenting such evidence (for example, the original proxy or a copy thereof) at the admission check on the day of the AGM. Evidence may also be sent by mail to the address Fraport AG, HV-Projektbüro (VV1), 60547 Frankfurt am Main, or by fax (069 690-25201). For electronic transmission the Company offers the possibility of sending the evidence by e-mail to HV-Projektbuero@fraport.de. The aforementioned transmission channels are also available if the proxy is to be granted by means of a statement to the Company, in which case separate evidence of the granting of proxy is not necessary. Cancellation of a proxy already granted may also be declared directly vis-à-vis the Company using the aforementioned channels. If the authorization is granted, revoked, or evidence thereof submitted by means of a declaration submitted to the Company by mail, such declaration must be received by the Company by Tuesday, May 31, 2011 (date of receipt by mail) for organizational reasons. Transmission of such a declaration to the Company by fax or e-mail is still permitted even on the day of the AGM. Evidence of authority granted in or during the AGM may be provided by presenting such evidence (for example, the original proxy) at the exit check. Shareholders wishing to authorize a proxy are requested to use the form provided by the Company for granting this proxy. This form is sent to properly registered persons together with the admission card and may be requested by mail at the address Fraport AG, HV-Projektbüro (VV1), 60547 Frankfurt am Main, by fax (069 690-25201) or by e-mail (HV- Projektbuero@fraport.de). In addition to this, a proxy form can also be downloaded from the Company s website at www.hauptversammlung.fraport.de. Proxies can also be granted electronically up to the day of the AGM (inclusive) via the Company s Internet-based authorization system. Shareholders can obtain further information regarding the Company s Internet-based authorization system on the Internet at www.hauptversammlung.fraport.de. This year we again offer our shareholders the possibility, prior to the AGM, of nominating a proxy appointed by the Company and bound by the shareholder's instructions to exercise their voting rights. Shareholders wishing to appoint a proxy nominated by the Company require an entry card for the AGM to do this. This contains a form that can be used to authorize proxies and give voting instructions. To ensure that the admission card is received in good time it should be ordered from the bank at which the shareholder has his securities account as early as possible. Where a proxy appointed by the Company is authorized to vote, that proxy must receive voting instructions. The proxies are obliged to vote according to the instructions. Without such express instructions, the vote is not represented. The authorization and instructions to the proxy appointed by the Company may also be given electronically, using the procedure established by the Company, via the Company s Internet-based authorization system. Further information on giving authorizations and instructions to proxies appointed by the Company is contained in the admission card sent to shareholders. The same information can also be viewed on the Internet at www.hauptversammlung.fraport.de. Seite 6 von 8
