Lenzing's Register Settles After EUR 301 Million Raise, With Q3 Figures Due November 5
Published on 10/31/2026 at 21:10 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Lenzing has finished restating its ownership and capital base following a cash capital increase that raised roughly EUR 301.2 million gross, and the market's attention now shifts to the third-quarter 2026 results scheduled for November 5.
The share slipped 2.5% in Wednesday's session amid a soft Vienna market, where rising oil and gas prices and weak international technology stocks weighed on Austrian equities, according to dpa-AFX.
Capital and voting base
Since October 22, the company's total number of voting rights stands at 73,374,542, a mandatory disclosure tied to the completed capital measure. Share capital is listed at EUR 76,204,702.90.
The raise itself involved 34,756,362 new shares issued at EUR 8.65 apiece. The subscription offer drew a 99% take-up rate, leaving the syndicate banks to place the unsubscribed shares on the market.

Who holds what
The syndicate of B&C-Gruppe and Suzano S.A. continues to control about 52.25% of voting rights, giving the two partners a joint majority. Suzano Holding S.A. separately picked up a direct stake of roughly 0.80%, while Goldman Sachs Group holds 5.86% of Lenzing shares. The disclosures draw a line between the syndicate's pooled voting power and the individually reported holdings.
Elsewhere in the register, NN Group revised its stake upward to 4.27% of Lenzing voting rights, up from 2.54% in its earlier notification.
Insider participation
Oberbank exercised subscription rights on October 15, acquiring 1,493,530 shares at EUR 8.65 each. The filing identifies the bank as a related party to Martin Seiter, a member of Lenzing's supervisory board. Management board members Georg Kasperkovitz and Christian Skilich also took up shares in the rights issue.

Heiligenkreuz timeline extended
On the operational side, Lenzing has pushed back the closure of its Heiligenkreuz site, with production now running until the first quarter of 2027. The company attributed the extension to the transfer of output to other locations, ORF reported.
The Q3 release is set for a 15:00 to 16:00 MEZ window on November 5.
