In the course of an intra-group demerger for absorption, 9,654,545 voting rights (corresponding to 25% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft were transferred from B&C KB Holding GmbH to B&C Delta Zweite Holding GmbH. As a result, the chain of controlled undertakings has changed with regard to these 9,654,545 voting rights (corresponding to 25% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft.

 

In addition, it should be noted that the same voting rights are also reported as a financial instrument held by B&C Epsilon Zweite Holding GmbH, which is to acquire the interest in B&C Delta Zweite Holding GmbH (and thus indirectly these 9,654,545 voting rights in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft) in the course of a further demerger (see investment notification dated June 28, 2024).

 

Through its indirect subsidiaries B&C KB Holding GmbH, B&C Delta Zweite Holding GmbH and B&C Ares Holding GmbH, a total of 20,177,020 voting rights (corresponding to around 52.25% of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft are attributable to B&C Privatstiftung.
