1. In case of proxy voting Date of general meeting: - Voting rights after general meeting: - is equivalent to - voting rights.

10. Further comments:

1. The notification of voting rights is due to the merger of Estezet Beteiligungsgesellschaft m.b.H. (Estezet) as transferring company with Zucker-Beteiligungsgesellschaft m.b.H. (ZBG), which expired with effect from 23 September 2020 (entry in the commercial register) and thus resigned from the attribution group in accordance with section 133 items 1, 4, 7 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018 on the basis of the shareholder's agreement (see point 10.5). Thus the attribution of the interest in voting rights of 79.62% (sections 130, 131 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) that can be attributed in total (sections 130, 131 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) is no longer applicable for Estezet with effect from 23 September 2020. As a result, Estezet has fallen below the reporting thresholds of 75, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 and 4%. The entire 79.62% interest in voting rights (sections 130, 131 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) has already been attributed to ZBG.

2. AGRANA Zucker, Stärke und Frucht Holding AG (ABH) continues to hold 48,955,088 shares, corresponding to a relevant interest in voting rights of 78.34% (section 130 para 1 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018), and a call option to purchase 800,000 AGRANA shares from Südzucker (7.B.1.), corresponding to a relevant interest in voting rights of 1.28% (section 131 para 1 item 1 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) (prior to the effective date of the share split in a ratio of 1:4, the call option comprised 200,000 AGRANA shares). The total relevant interest in voting rights of ABH corresponds to 79.62%.

3. Südzucker continues to hold 1,713,716 shares, corresponding to a relevant interest in voting rights of 2.74% from directly held shares (section 130 (1) Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018), whereby these shares are not attributable under the shareholder's agreement (point 10.5). This also includes the 800,000 shares (1.28%) for the acquisition of which Südzucker has granted ABH a call option (point 10.2).

4. The voting rights of Südzucker and ABH are attributable to Südzucker through the shareholding in ABH and as a party to the shareholder's agreement (point 10.5) (section 133 items 4, 7 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) and to Süddeutsche Zuckerrübenverwertungs-Genossenschaft eG through its shareholding in Südzucker (section 133 item 4 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018). The total relevant interest in voting rights corresponds to 82.36% (sections 130, 131 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018). The call option (point 10.2.) relates to AGRANA shares directly held by Südzucker. The shares subject to the call option are therefore double-counted in the total relevant interest in voting rights of 82.36%. The adjusted total interest in voting rights is 81.08%.

5. There is a shareholder's agreement between Südzucker and ZBG. RAIFFEISEN-HOLDING NIEDERÖSTERREICH-WIEN registrierte Genossenschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (RHO) and the companies directly and indirectly controlled by RHO, "ALMARA" Holding GmbH (ALMARA), Marchfelder Zuckerfabriken Gesellschaft m.b.H. (MZ) and LEIPNIK-LUNDENBURGER INVEST Beteiligungs Aktiengesellschaft (LLI) have joined the shareholder's agreement as direct and indirect shareholders of ZBG. RHO indirectly controls ZBG through direct control over ALMARA and indirect control over LLI, which controls MZ. RHO is the sole shareholder of "LAREDO" Beteiligungs GmbH, which directly controls LLI. The total relevant interest in voting rights of RHO corresponds to 79.87% (attribution and direct share, see 8. above); the voting rights of ABH (point 10.2.) are attributed in each case (section 133 item 1, 4, 7 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) and the attributed interest in voting rights pursuant to section 131 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018 amounts to 1.28%. The total attributable interest in voting rights (sections 130, 131 Austrian Stock Exchange Act 2018) in each case corresponds to 79.87%.
