Company Information

Lenzing - The year 2017 has been very successful for the Lenzing Group up until
now. Following a record-breaking quarterly performance, the fiber producer is
pleased to have won several prestigious awards.

On June 7, 2017, the Lenzing Group was given the Golden Pegasus Award as the
best flagship company in Upper Austria. Stefan Doboczky, Chief Executive Officer
of the Lenzing Group, accepted this honor at a gala night held at the
Brucknerhaus in Linz. The Pegasus, the most important Upper Austrian business
award, is bestowed each year on the most successful companies in the federal
state.

The Vienna Stock Exchange Awards, the top prize for publicly traded companies,
were conferred upon the winners at the end of May. The Lenzing Group was ranked
second in the "ATX" category. The prestigious ATX Award distinguishes companies
which stand out on the capital market with respect to the following criteria:
financial reporting, investor relations, strategy, business management,
corporate governance, sustainability and market-related factors. The
achievements of the publicly listed companies are assessed by a jury of experts.

Lenzing was also nominated for the Energy Globe Award in the "Earth" category
for its sustainability efforts and, in particular, for launching a recycling
fiber marketed under the RefibraTM brand. This product innovation enables cotton
scraps to be reused.

"We are delighted with these nominations and awards, and can be proud of what we
have achieved. Our approximately 6,300 employees who have made this success
possible deserve our special thanks", says Lenzing CEO Stefan Doboczky. "At the
same time, we also consider these distinctions as a call for us to continue
working in a disciplined manner to implement our goals within the context of our
sCore TEN business strategy", Mr. Doboczky concludes.
