Capital Measures/share split
Vienna - At the 31st ordinary Annual General Meeting of AGRANA-Beteiligungs-
Aktiengesellschaft, Vienna, on 6 July 2018, a resolution was passed pertaining
to a 1:4 share split. As a result, the number of shares will rise from
15,622,244 at present to 62,488,976. The capital stock will remain unchanged at
EUR 113,531,274.76 and subsequently be divided into 62,488,976 no-par value
ordinary bearer shares. Each share will in future bear capital stock equivalent
to EUR 1.82 (rounded).
The corresponding amendment to the articles of association in the register of
companies was made on 24 July 2018 and the resolution pertaining to the share
split therefore came into effect on this date.
On the grounds of international stock market standards and as a result of the
share split, the previous ISIN, AT0000603709, has been replaced by a new ISIN,
namely AT000AGRANA3. The new ISIN will be automatically applied to shares held
in securities accounts; no action is required on the part of shareholders. The
recording of shares with the new ISIN AT000AGRANA3 and the removal of shares
with the previous ISIN AT0000603709 will take place on Tuesday, 31 July 2018.
The change to the listing on the Vienna Stock Exchange will take place on
Friday, 27 July 2018 (when trading in the new ISIN commences). AGRANA shares
will remain tradeable on all trading days. Reference is nonetheless made here to
the fact that, depending on the date upon which shareholders' depositary banks
record shares with the ISIN AT000AGRANA3, the possibility exists that it will
not be possible to sell shares on 27 and 30 July 2018. Share purchases will not
be affected by this.
The last trading day on the Vienna Stock Exchange using the old ISIN
AT0000603709 will be Thursday, 26 July 2018.
The Company requests that depositary banks perform the share split on behalf of
shareholders free of charge. Raiffeisen Centrobank AG, Vienna, shall act as the
tender and paying agent.
