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.
