On May 26, 2011, Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft was informed by B & C IOTA GmbH & Co
KG pursuant to Section 91 of the Stock Exchange Act (“BörseG“) as follows:
According to the Merger Agreement dated March 14, 2011, B & C Kappa GmbH, as the

Aktiengesellschaft held by B & C Kappa GmbH until registration of the merger in
the amount of 7,691,775 shares representing the same number of voting rights and
a 29.9% interest in the share capital of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft were used to
compensate B & C IOTA GmbH & Co KG, the sole shareholder of B & C Kappa GmbH.
The merger was duly registered with the Commercial Register of the Vienna
Commercial Court (“Handelsgericht Wien”) on May 26, 2011.
Due to the above-mentioned merger, B & C IOTA GmbH & Co KG directly holds
