increase were offered to AGRANA's free float shareholders who have
not waived their subscription rights at a subscription price of EUR
100 per new AGRANA share during the subscription period which
commenced on 2 February 2017 and which ends on 16 February 2017,
24:00 CET (the "Rights Offering").

AGRANA herewith announces the preliminary results of the Rights
Offering and informs the market that - as of 16 February 2017, 17:00
CET - an aggregate of 67,349 new AGRANA shares were subscribed for in
