10. Other comments:

The shareholder agreement concluded between B&C Industrieholding GmbH and AMAG Arbeitnehmer Privatstiftung on March 1, 2013 was dissolved as of the end of December 31, 2016. Due to this dissolution, the 3,922,106 voting rights in the issuer (corresponding to around 11.12% of the share capital and voting rights) that AMAG Arbeitnehmer Privatstiftung holds are no longer attributable to B&C Industrieholding GmbH pursuant to Section 92 Z 7 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act (BörseG).

B&C Industrieholding GmbH continues to hold 1,729,737 voting rights in the issuer via its indirect subsidiary B&C Pontos Holding GmbH and 16,858,894 voting rights in the issuer via its indirect subsidiary B&C Alpha Holding GmbH. Moreover, a further 5,853,824 voting rights in the issuer are to be attributed to B&C Industrieholding GmbH due to agreements with Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich Aktiengesellschaft and Oberbank AG pursuant to Section 92 BörseG.

As a result of dissolving the shareholder agreement between B&C Industrieholding GmbH and AMAG Arbeitnehmer Privatstiftung, the number of voting rights attributable to B&C Privatstiftung pursuant to Section 92 BörseG reduces by 3,922,106 voting rights. Therefore, 24,442,455 voting rights (corresponding to around 69.31% of the share capital and voting rights) in the issuer have been attributable to B&C Privatstiftung (respectively B&C Holding Österreich GmbH and B&C Industrieholding GmbH) since January 1, 2017 pursuant to Section 92 BörseG, as a consequence of which the interest reduces to below the 75% threshold.

B&C Privatstiftung is making this announcement on its own behalf as well as on behalf of B&C Holding Österreich GmbH and B&C Industrieholding GmbH.

The total number of shares and voting rights in AMAG is 35,264,000.
