Through its indirect subsidiaries B&C KB Holding GmbH (formerly B&C LAG

In the course of an intra-group demerger for absorption, the shareholding
in B&C Delta Zweite Holding GmbH is to be spun off to B&C Epsilon Zweite
Holding GmbH. This demerger is subject to the condition precedent that B&C
Delta Zweite Holding GmbH acquires 9,654,545 voting rights (corresponding
to 25% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft from B&C KB Holding GmbH in the course of a further
demerger.
With the implementation of this demerger, the chain of controlled
undertakings will change with regard to these 9,654,545 voting rights
(corresponding to 25% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing
Aktiengesellschaft. The voting rights indirectly affected by this demerger
are hereby disclosed as a financial instrument pursuant to section 131
BörseG 2018.
