On 1 February 2017, AGRANA informed the market that AGRANA completed

an offer price of EUR 100 per new AGRANA share. The remaining up to
103,484 new AGRANA shares of the second tranche of the cash capital
increase were offered to AGRANA's free float shareholders who have
not waived their subscription rights at a subscription price of EUR
100 per new AGRANA share during the subscription period which
commenced on 2 February 2017 and which ends on 16 February 2017,
24:00 CET (the "Rights Offering").

AGRANA herewith announces the preliminary results of the Rights
Offering and informs the market that - as of 16 February 2017, 17:00
CET - an aggregate of 67,349 new AGRANA shares were subscribed for in
the Rights Offering. New AGRANA shares which are not subscribed for
until 16 February 2017, 24:00 CET, will be offered at the offer price
to institutional investors in private placements in and outside of
Austria and outside of the United States of America (the "Rump

The final number of new AGRANA shares issued in the cash capital
increase in two tranches will be determined upon completion of the
Rump Placement by AGRANA, Südzucker as well as the underwriting banks
Berenberg, BNP Paribas, Erste Group and Raiffeisen Bank International
and will be published immediately.
