Shareholders' information rights in accordance with Section 118 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act Any shareholder shall be provided with information on the Company’s affairs upon request at the General Meeting to the extent that such information is required for proper assessment of an item on the agenda. This obligation to provide information shall also extend to the legal and business relationships of the Company with affiliated companies, the state of affairs of the group, and the companies included in the consolidated financial statements. The Company may deny providing information to the extent that according to sound business judgment it might cause material damage to the Company or any affiliated company or if providing such information would constitute a punishable offense. The requirement for exercising the shareholders' right to information is the proof of right to attend (item IV. of the invitation). For the purpose of providing proof of shareholder status in order to exercise the above mentioned shareholders’ rights it is sufficient if holders of deposited bearer shares submit a deposit certificate (Depotbestätigung) within the meaning of Section 10a Austrian Stock Corporation Act. A deposit certificate used to prove current shareholder status must not be older than seven days when submitted to the Company. 5. Possibility to appoint a proxy holder pursuant to Sections 113 et seq Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Section 106 no 8 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act) Any shareholder entitled to attend the General Meeting shall be entitled to appoint a natural or legal person as proxy holder. The proxy holder may attend the General Meeting on behalf of the shareholder and will have the same rights as the shareholder represented. The Company itself or a member of the Management Board or Supervisory Board may exercise voting rights as a proxy holder only insofar as the shareholder has explicitly provided detailed voting instructions regarding the individual items of the agenda. The proxy must be granted to a specific person. A proxy in text form shall be sufficient in any case. If a shareholder has granted power of proxy to the depositary bank (Section 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act) it shall be sufficient if in addition to submitting the deposit certificate the bank makes a statement that it has been granted power of proxy. It is also possible to grant power of proxy to multiple persons.

Record date and conditions of attendance of the General Meeting Pursuant to Section 111 para 1 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, the right to attend the General Meeting and to exercise the shareholders’ rights that are exercised during the General Meeting is determined by the shares held at the end of the tenth day before the date of the General Meeting (Record Date), therefore by the shares held on 30 September 2024, 12:00 a.m. (CEST). Participation in the General Meeting is limited to persons who are shareholders on the Record Date and supply proof thereof to the Company. In case of deposited bearer shares proof of shareholding at the Record Date is provided by submitting a deposit certificate pursuant to Section 10a of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The deposit certificate shall be issued by the depositary bank based in a member state of the European Economic Area or in a full member state of the OECD. The deposit certificate must contain at least the information required according to Section 10a para 2 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. Deposit certificates will be accepted in German and English.

Information to shareholders regarding data processing 1. Which personal data of shareholders is processed and for what purposes? Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft processes personal data of shareholders (in particular those pursuant to Section 10a para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act, i.e. name, address, date of birth, number of the securities deposit, number of shares of the shareholder, type of share if applicable, number of the voting card and, if applicable, name and date of birth of the independent proxy) on the basis of the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (“DSG”), in order to enable shareholders to exercise their rights at the General Meeting. In this connection the shareholders’ personal data is processed for the following purposes: • Organization and holding of General Meetings, including verification of the right to attend/power of proxy and determination of the voting ratio, • Participation of shareholders in the General Meeting and exercise of shareholder rights, • Preparation of registration, power of proxy and attendance lists, • Preparation of the minutes of the General Meeting, • Fulfillment of compliance obligations, including recording, disclosure and reporting obligations. The processing of the shareholders' personal data is mandatory for the participation of shareholders and their representatives in the General Meeting in accordance with the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The legal basis for the processing therefore is Art 6 para 1 lit c GDPR (compliance with a legal obligation). For the processing Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft is controller as defined in Art 4 no 7 GDPR. 2. To whom is the shareholders' personal data transferred? Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft uses external service providers, such as notaries, lawyers, banks and IT service providers, for the purpose of organizing the General Meeting. These service providers receive only such personal data from Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft as is necessary for the performance of the commissioned service, and, where they are processors as defined in Art 4 no 8 GDPR, process the data solely on instructions of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft. Where legally required, Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft has concluded a data protection agreement with these service providers. If a shareholder participates in the General Meeting, the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the notary and any other person with a legal right to attend may view the list of participants stipulated by statute (Section 117 Austrian Stock Corporation Act) and thereby also have access to the personal data contained therein (inter alia name, place of residence, shareholding relationship). Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft also has the statutory obligation to submit the shareholders’ personal data (in particular the list of participants) to the commercial register at the competent commercial register court (Section 120 Austrian Stock Corporation Act) as part of the notarial protocol. In addition, the shareholders’ personal data may also be transferred to the competent authorities or bodies if necessary. 3. How long is the shareholders' personal data stored? Shareholders’ data will be anonymized or deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, and no other legal obligations require further storage. Obligations to provide evidence and to retain records arise in particular from corporate, stock corporation and takeover law, from tax and duties law as well as from anti money laundering regulations. If legal claims are made by shareholders against Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft or vice versa by Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft against shareholders, the storage of personal data serves to clarify and enforce claims in individual cases. In connection with proceedings before civil courts, this can lead to storage of data for the duration of the statute of limitations plus the duration of the court proceedings up to its legally binding conclusion. 4. What rights do shareholders have with regard to their personal data? Every shareholder has a right to access, rectification, restriction, objection and deletion at any time with regard to the processing of personal data as well as a right to data portability in accordance with Chapter III GDPR. Shareholders can assert these rights against Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft free of charge by contacting the e-mail address (11)privacy@lenzing.com or by using the following contact details: Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft AT-4860 Lenzing, Werkstraße 2 Fax: +43 (0) 7672 918-4005 In addition, shareholders have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority pursuant to Art 77 GDPR. 5. Further information Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection declaration on the website of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft (12)www.lenzing.com. VI.
