Company provides the following information:
Mag. Dr. Claudia Süssenbacher has stated that she will resign from her
position as 2nd Deputy Chairperson and member of the Supervisory Board
with effect from the close of the Annual General Meeting on 3 July 2026.
§ 10 (1) of the Articles of Association of AGRANA
Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft stipulates that the Supervisory Board
shall consist of no fewer than three and no more than eight members to be
elected by the General Meeting.

elected by the General Meeting (shareholder representatives) and four
members delegated by the Works Council pursuant to § 110 of the Austrian
Labour Constitution Act (ArbVG). Of the eight shareholder representatives,
six are male and two are female; of the four employee representatives,
three are male and one is female.
It is announced that the majority of the employee representatives have
raised an objection pursuant to § 86 (9) of the Austrian Stock Corporation
Act, so that the quota requirement of § 86 (7) of the Austrian Stock
Corporation Act will be met separately.
When a shareholder submits a nomination for election, it must be ensured
that, following the election of eight shareholder representatives to the
Supervisory Board, at least two must be female in order to satisfy the

relationships of the Company with any affiliated company, as well as to
the situation of the Group and the companies included in the consolidated
financial statements.
The information may be withheld if according to reasonable business
assessment it has the potential to cause significant harm to the Company
or any affiliated company, or if its disclosure would be punishable under
applicable law.
Requests for information should generally be made verbally at the Annual
General Meeting, but can also be made in writing.
In the interest of session economy, questions that necessitate lengthy
preparation should be submitted to the Management Board, Attn. Ms. Sabine
Hacker, in text form in good time before the Annual General Meeting.
