Company Information
14.04.2020

Graz, April 14, 2020 -
ANDRITZ AG intends to take over all shares of Schuler Aktiengesellschaft and,
for this purpose, to implement a process at Schuler Aktiengesellschaft for
transfer of the shares of minority shareholders (so-called squeeze out pursuant
to the German Stock Corporation Act).

Today, the Executive Board of ANDRITZ AG, with the approval of the ANDRITZ AG
Supervisory Board, resolved to instruct the management of ANDRITZ
Beteiligungsgesellschaft IV GmbH ("ANDRITZ BTG IV") to issue a request pursuant
to the first sentence of Section 327a(1) of the German Stock Corporation Act
(AktG) to the Executive Board of Schuler Aktiengesellschaft. Consequently, the
management of ANDRITZ BTG IV has submitted a formal request to the Executive
Board of Schuler Aktiengesellschaft to initiate the procedure for a squeeze out
according to the German Stock Corporation Act.

ANDRITZ BTG IV, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANDRITZ AG, currently holds 96.62%
of the share capital of Schuler Aktiengesellschaft and is thus the main
shareholder as defined in the first sentence of Section 327a(1) of AktG. The
amount of the appropriate cash compensation to be provided by ANDRITZ BTG IV as
main shareholder to the minority shareholders of Schuler Aktiengesellschaft for
transfer of the shares has not yet been decided.

The Executive Board of ANDRITZ AG
