Ternitz, 25.01.2016: Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO) was informed on 22.01.2016 and announces, pursuant to Sec 93 (2) BoerseG:

Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited (and/or acting for its affiliates) - 10 Queen’s Terrace, Aberdeen AB10 1YG - as discretionary investment manager on behalf of multiple managed portfolios (“AAML”), informed SBO, that as at 21 January 2016 it holds 822,429 shares representing 5.14% of the voting rights of SBO through investment funds and client accounts under management.
In total, AAML holds 855,099 shares representing 5.34% of the total capital of SBO, which includes 32,670 shares managed by AAML but where the client has retained the right to vote.

As of 21 January 2016, the split of the shares with voting rights attached are as follows:
• 684,239 voting shares, representing 4.28% of the voting rights
• 138,190 voting shares which are out on loan and AAML retains the right to recall these lent shares, representing 0.86% of the voting rights (classed as a financial instrument)

Therefore, the voting rights position has increased above the 5% threshold (sum of shares and financial instruments and comparable positions in other instruments) under Article 91 of the Austrian Stock Exchange Act (German: Börsegesetz; BörsG).

These percentages have been calculated on the basis of the number of voting rights of SBO as of 21 January 2016 (16,000,000).
