2024 Annual General Meeting of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG

The 37th ordinary Annual General Meeting of AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG today
voted to pay out a dividend of EUR 0.90 per share for the 2023|24 financial
year. This is equivalent to that of the prior year.

AGRANA therefore remains committed to a predictable, reliable and
transparent dividend policy that is geared to continuity. The dividends are
based on the result as well as on the Group's cash flow and debt situation,
while simultaneously maintaining a solid balance sheet structure. Moreover,
AGRANA also takes current events and the anticipated future development of
business into account in its dividend policy.

The members of the Management Board, Stephan Büttner (CEO), Norbert
Harringer and Stephan Meeder, in addition to the members of the Supervisory
Board, were all relieved of their respective responsibilities for the
2023|24 financial year.

The AGM also voted to appoint KPMG Austria GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und
Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Vienna, to act as the auditor for the 2024|25
financial year.

During the Annual General Meeting, CEO Stephan Büttner presented the
cornerstones of the "Next Level" corporate strategy currently being
developed and explained: "Over past decades, AGRANA has acquired outstanding
expertise in the processing of agricultural raw materials and as a provider
of customer-specific solutions for the food and beverage sector. We can
build on our access to agricultural raw materials and our global customer
portfolio as additional key strengths. Given the current, and for AGRANA
extremely relevant, challenges we face, such as new nutritional trends,
shifts in consumer behaviour, geopolitical change and the energy transition,
we are intensively working to strategically and organisationally bundle our
skills. The aim here is to optimise cost synergies and better leverage our
product-specific expertise to gain access to additional markets and customer
groups. That is why we will in future concentrate on the community and
speciality business with starch, sugar and fruit juice concentrates as well
as innovative food and beverage solutions based on fruit preparations and
natural flavourings. This will enable us to increase our underlying
profitability, better cushion market volatility and ensure profitable growth
as the keys to a successful future."
