Lenzing Closes the Books on Its EUR 301 Million Raise as Q3 Results Loom
Published on 10/31/2026 at 17:02 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Lenzing's capital increase is done and dusted, and the paperwork now confirms what the Austrian fibre maker set out to achieve: a repaired share count, a stable anchor shareholder, and a gross proceeds figure of roughly EUR 301.2 million.
The company issued 34,756,362 new shares at EUR 8.65 apiece. Take-up in the subscription offer hit 99%, with the syndicate banks selling the rump on the market. The transaction left Lenzing with a total of 73,374,542 voting rights, a figure in force since 22 October, against share capital of EUR 76,204,702.90.
Anchor Group Holds Firm
The B&C Group and Suzano S.A. syndicate continues to control around 52.25% of voting rights following completion, Lenzing disclosed. Suzano Holding S.A. separately picked up a direct stake of about 0.80%. A corrective filing for the B&C/Suzano syndicate lists 18,159,291 new shares subscribed by its members.
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. appears in a separate notification with a total position of 5.86%, split between 4.88% in share voting rights and 0.98% held through financial instruments.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Lenzing?
Insiders also took part. Supervisory and management board members Georg Kasperkovitz and Christian Skilich acquired Lenzing shares through the rights offering, and Oberbank exercised its subscription rights and bought stock as well.
A Soft Day on the Vienna Floor
The disclosures landed on a downbeat session for Austrian equities. Lenzing slipped 2.5% to close at EUR 10.80, with AT&S, FACC, Rosenbauer and voestalpine also finishing lower. Reporting from dpa-AFX attributed the broader weakness to rising oil and gas prices and soft international technology shares. No company-specific trigger was identified for Lenzing's decline.
What Comes Next
Attention now shifts to 5 November, when Lenzing is scheduled to publish third-quarter 2026 results between 15:00 and 16:00 CET.

On the operations side, the shutdown of the Heiligenkreuz site has been pushed back. According to ORF, Lenzing extended production there until the first quarter of 2027, citing the transfer of output to other locations as the reason for the delay.
