Name: B & C Privatstiftung
Place: Wien
State: Österreich
Name of shareholder(s): B & C Holding Österreich GmbH, B & C Iota GmbH & Co KG
Date on which the threshold was crossed or reached: 7.4.2017
In the course of a demerger within the group, the 15.930.001 voting rights
(equivalent to a little more than 60.00% of the share capital and voting rights)
in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft directly held by B & C Industrieholding GmbH have
been transferred to B & C Holding Österreich GmbH. As a result of this demerger,
B & C Holding Österreich GmbH now directly holds 15,930,001 voting rights
(equivalent to a little more than 60.00% of the share capital and voting rights)
in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft. B & C Industrieholding GmbH no longer holds any
voting rights in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft.
Furthermore, 680,959 voting rights (equivalent to approx. 2.56% of the share
capital and voting rights) in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft are attributable to B &
C Privatstiftung via its subsidiary B & C Iota GmbH & Co KG pursuant to sec 92
(4) Stock Exchange Act. In total, 16,610,960 voting rights (equivalent to
approx. 62.56% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft are, therefore, still attributable to B & C Privatstiftung
pursuant to sec 92 (4) Stock Exchange Act.
In this context, B & C Privatstiftung notes that further restructuring will take
place within its group. The shareholdings in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft will not
change due to this internal restructuring and after all restructuring steps have
been completed B & C Group will still hold 16,610,960 voting rights (equivalent
to approx.. 62.56% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft.
