Other comments:
Manile Privatstiftung transferred 100 per cent of its shares in Salapo Beteiligungsverwaltungs Gmbh, through which it indirectly holds 5.72% of the shares in ANDRITZ AG via its 100% interest in Certus Beteiligungs-GmbH, to Custos Privatstiftung on December 22, 2020. Thus, Manile Privatstiftung has surrendered its indirect shareholding in ANDRITZ AG. Up to now, Certus Beteiligungs-GmbH’s shareholding in ANDRITZ AG was assigned to Custos Privatstiftung and Dr. Wolfgang Leitner via the participation right issued by Salapo Beteiligungsverwaltungs GmbH, hence there is no change in the shareholding attributed to Custos Privatstiftung and Dr. Wolfgang Leitner. Due to the change of the company, the name of the former “SASR 58 GmbH” is now “Custos Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH”.
