Mergers - Acquisitions - Takeovers

Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna, 5 February 2014

AGRANA Zucker GmbH has reached agreement with the Romanian sugar producer
Lemarco S.A. to acquire the latter's plants in Urziceni and Liesti. "AGRANA's
intention here is not only to increase its sugar beet production but also its
sugar refining activities and, therefore, to consolidate its presence in the
South-East European market," explains AGRANA CEO, Johann Marihart. The agreement
is subject to the approval of the competent anti-trust authorities.

The Urziceni site is located around 60km north-east of Bucharest and, being at a
major road and rail network intersection, is well connected to the port of
Constanta on the Black Sea, which is important for the supply of commodities.
With a volume of more than 500,000 tonnes of sugar, the Romanian sugar market is
supplied to an extent of only 20% with sugar from sugar beet; the remaining 80%
is with sugar made from the refining of raw sugar cane. AGRANA is already
present in the Romanian market through two sugar refineries in Buzau and Roman.
It markets a wide range of sugar products under the brands Margaritar Zahar and
Coronita.
