2. Sonstige Kommentare:

[Courtesy translation into English from German original:] In the course of an intra-group merger, the B&C Lenzing Holding GmbH was transferred to its sole shareholder, B&C Industrieholding GmbH. Due to this merger the chain of controlling companies with regard to B&C Semperit Holding GmbH and its directly held voting rights in Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding changed.

Furthermore B&C Industrieholding GmbH transferred the directly held 859,199 voting rights (corresponds to about 4.18% of the share capital and voting rights) in Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding to B&C Semperit Holding GmbH.

Therefore B&C Semperit Holding GmbH holds 11,145,917 voting rights (corresponds to about 54.18% of the share capital and voting rights) in Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding. B&C Industrieholding GmbH does not hold voting rights in Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding anymore.

In accordance with Section 92 numeral 4 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act (Börse Gesetz) 11,145,917 voting rights in total (corresponds to about 54.18% of the share capital and voting rights) in Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding remain therefore attributable to B&C Privatstiftung via its indirect subsidiary B&C Semperit Holding GmbH.

[German original:]

Im Zuge einer gruppeninternen Verschmelzung ist die B&C Lenzing Holding GmbH auf ihre Alleingesellschafterin, die B&C Industrieholding GmbH übertragen worden. Aufgrund dieser Verschmelzung hat sich die Kette der kontrollierten Unternehmen im Hinblick auf die von der B&C Semperit Holding GmbH direkt gehaltenen Stimmrechte an der Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding geändert.

Zudem hat die B&C Industrieholding GmbH die von ihr direkt gehaltenen 859.199 Stimmrechte (entspricht rund 4,18% des Aktienkapitals und der Stimmrechte) an der Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding in die B&C Semperit Holding GmbH eingebracht.

Die B&C Semperit Holding GmbH hält somit 11.145.917 Stimmrechte (entspricht rund 54,18% des Aktienkapitals und der Stimmrechte) an der Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding. Die B&C Industrieholding GmbH hält keine Stimmrechte mehr an der Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding.

Der B&C Privatstiftung sind unverändert, über ihre indirekte Tochtergesellschaft B & C Semperit Holding GmbH, gemäß § 92 Z 4 BörseG insgesamt 11.145.917 Stimmrechte (entspricht rund 54,18% des Aktienkapitals und der Stimmrechte) an der Semperit Aktiengesellschaft Holding zuzurechnen.
