RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN OR WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AUSTRALIA, CANADA, JAPAN, OR OTHER COUNTRIES IN WHICH PUBLICATION OR

EGGER Holzwerkstoffe GmbH ("EGGER") intends to issue a deeply subordinated bond
with perpetual maturity and an early redemption option for the issuer after five
years (hybrid bond). UniCredit Bank AG has been mandated as Sole Structuring
Advisor and Sole Bookrunner. Raiffeisen Bank International AG acts as co-lead
manager.
EGGER aims for a volume at least in the lower three-digit million range (sub-
benchmark size). The actual issue volume as well as the details of the
transaction, such as the total nominal amount, the issue price and the coupon
will be determined following a four-day investor roadshow based on prevailing
market conditions as part of a bookbuilding process. The issue, with a minimum
subscription volume of EUR 100,000, is aimed exclusively at institutional
investors. A "retail offer" will not be made. The issue is expected to close in
March 2018.
The funds from the issue are intended to serve general corporate financing,
including current and future investment projects, as well as the optimization of
the financing structure, including the strengthening of the equity base.
