State: Österreich

voestalpine AG: Notice pursuant to § 93 (2) Austrian Stock Exchange Act
Equity stake of Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich falls below 15%

Pursuant to § 93 (2) Austrian Stock Exchange Act, voestalpine AG hereby gives
notice that it has received notification from its shareholder
Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich Invest GmbH & Co OG that the shareholder's
voting rights have been diluted to a stake of less than 15% due to a capital
increase of roughly 2%. That capital increase, which was the subject of a
resolution in September 2012 and which was entered on the Commercial Register on
24 November 2012, was fully subscribed for by voestalpine Mitarbeiterbeteiling
Privatstiftung, excluding the subscription rights of the other shareholders. The
capital increase diluted the equity stakes and voting rights of the other
shareholders to an extent which was de minimis.

Specifically, Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich Invest GmbH & Co OG gave
notice that it holds 23,216,176 no-par value shares in voestalpine AG and is
authorised by the following companies (which are likewise shareholders in
voestalpine AG) to exercise their voting rights in its free discretion, for
which reason those voting rights are deemed attributable to it under § 92
Austrian Stock Exchange Act:

Thus, Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich Invest GmbH & Co OG stated that, in
the aggregate, it is entitled to exercise voting rights with respect to
25,765,818 no-par value shares. It stated that to-date, this has corresponded to
15.25% of all voting rights based on 169,049,163 no par value of voestalpine AG.
However, due to the increased number of no-par value shares (172,449,163), its
shares now represent only 14.94% of voting rights.
