wholly owned subsidiary of Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft, whereby the 9.
654,545 voting rights (corresponding to 25% of the share capital and
voting rights) in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft previously held by B&C
Epsilon Zweite Holding GmbH were distributed to the sole shareholder of
B&C Epsilon Zweite Holding GmbH, B&C Alpha Zweite Holding GmbH & Co KG, as
a result of the merger. As a result, the chain of controlled companies has
changed with regard to these 9,654,545 voting rights (corresponding to 25%
of the share capital and voting rights) in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft;
these are now held by B&C Alpha Zweite Holding GmbH & Co KG. B&C Epsilon
Zweite Holding GmbH was deleted when the merger became effective and no
longer holds any voting rights in Lenzing Aktiengesellschaft.

 

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