On March 25, 2015, the Austrian Takeover Commission notified ANDRITZ AG of the
decision regarding the review procedure pursuant to Section 33 of the Austrian
Takeover Act. The object of the procedure was to review whether there was
wrongfully no mandatory takeover offer submitted (Section 22 et seq. of the
Austrian Takeover Act) in connection with the reorganization measures
implemented by the core shareholders of ANDRITZ AG in August 2014, particularly
by Custos Privatstiftung and Certus Beteiligungs-GmbH, and in connection with
re-transition of a securities loan for ANDRITZ AG shares existing since 2004.
The Takeover Commission stated that there is no infringement regarding the
mandatory takeover offer obligation, thus no mandatory takeover offer must be
submitted. With a few exceptions, Custos Privatstiftung is allowed to exercise
the voting rights it has been attributed between 26% and 30% at least until June
30, 2018.
