On March 14, 2011, Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft was informed by B & C
Industrieholding GmbH, B & C Kappa GmbH and B & C IOTA GmbH & Co KG making
reference to section 91 of the Stock Exchange Act („BörseG“) as follows:

On the basis of internal restructuring measures and according to the Splitting
and Acquisition Agreement dated March 02, 2011, B & C Industrieholding GmbH
transferred an interest comprising 7,691,775 shares of Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft and an identical number of voting rights, i.e. a 29.9 %
interest in the nominal capital of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft to B & C Kappa
GmbH. The split was registered in the Commercial Register of the Vienna
Commercial Court on March 11, 2011.
As a result of the above-mentioned split B & C Industrieholding GmbH now
directly holds 2,497,796 shares of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft and an identical
number of voting rights. This corresponds to an interest of approx. 9.71% in the
nominal capital of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft.
In addition, B & C Industrieholding GmbH continues to indirectly hold 13,102,768
shares of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft and an identical number of voting rights
through its wholly owned subsidiary B & C Lenzing Holding GmbH. This corresponds
to an interest of approx. 50.93% in the nominal capital of Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft.
Consequently, B & C Industrieholding GmbH indirectly and directly holds a total
of 15,600,564 shares of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft and an identical number of
voting rights. This corresponds to an interest of approx. 60.64% in the nominal
capital of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft.
As a result of the above-mentioned split the share in the voting rights of
Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft held directly and indirectly by B & C
Industrieholding GmbH is below 75%.
As a result of the above-mentioned split B & C Kappa GmbH now directly holds
7,691,775 shares of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft and an identical number of voting
rights. This corresponds to an interest of approx. 29.9% in the nominal capital
of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft.
As a result of the above-mentioned split the share in the voting rights of
Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft held by B & C Kappa GmbH exceeds 25%.
Since B & C IOTA GmbH & Co KG is the sole shareholder of B & C Kappa GmbH, B & C
IOTA GmbH & Co KG indirectly holds 7,691,775 shares of Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft and an identical number of voting rights through its wholly
owned subsidiary B & C Kappa GmbH as a result of the above-mentioned split. This
corresponds to an interest of approx. 29.9% in the nominal capital of Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft.
As a result of the above-mentioned split the share in the voting rights of
Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft held by B & C IOTA GmbH & Co KG  exceeds 25%.
The above-mentioned split did not result in any change of the share in the
voting rights of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft held by B & C Privatstiftung since B
& C Privatstiftung is the direct or indirect sole shareholder of B & C
Industrieholding GmbH, B & C IOTA GmbH & Co KG and B & C Kappa GmbH.
