There are no actions pending against AGRANA or its Group companies that could have material impacts on the Group’s financial position.
The Group is exposed to the risk of possible changes in the legal setting, particularly in food and environmental legislation. AGRANA identifies such risks at an early stage, assesses their potential impact on the Group’s business activity and takes countermeasures where appropriate.
The competition authority has initiated proceedings against AGRANA subsidiaries in two countries in Eastern Europe. The investigation is centred on questions in connection with the sugar market reform and the implementation of the new sugar regime. AGRANA and its subsidiaries are interested in seeing all associated questions answered.
