St. Johann in Tirol - EGGER hybrid bond 2018 successfully placed

Hybrid bond with a volume of EUR 150 million

Egger Holzwerkstoffe GmbH, the parent company of the international wood-based
material manufacturer EGGER, St. Johann in Tirol, has successfully completed the
issue of a deeply subordinated hybrid bond with perpetual maturity and an early
redemption option for the issuer after five years.

The issue, which has a minimum subscription volume of EUR 100,000 exclusively to
institutional investors, was placed, with a total amount of EUR 150 million,
mainly to European investors. The coupon was fixed at 4.875 % due to the great
interest.

"We are pleased about the investors' trust in us as a solid Austrian family-
owned company," says Thomas Leissing, spokesman for the EGGER Group Management
and responsible for finance and administration. "In addition to general
corporate financing, the proceeds will support the current and future strategic
investment programme as a basis for long-term profitable growth, as well as
optimise our financing structure and strengthen our own funds base."
