Zumtobel AG / Capital increase from approved conditional capital

In its resolution of 20 February 2008, the Managing Board partly exercised its
authorisation to resolve a conditional capital increase in order to offer stock
options to employees, executives and members of the board of the company or of
an affiliated company, and resolved to effect a conditional share capital
increase of EUR 607,500 from its current level of EUR 111,760,860.00 by issuing
up to 243,000 new no-par-value common voting bearer shares, each representing a
pro rata amount of EUR 2.50. The increase will only be effected to the extent
that the employees, executives and board members to whom stock options have been
offered exercise their subscription rights (para. 159 section 3, Austrian Stock
Corporation Act AktG).
The Managing Board was authorised in this respect by the extraordinary
Shareholders' Meeting of 7 April 2006. The authorisation remains in force within
five years after registration of the respective change in the the Articles of
Association, which took place on 13 April 2006. In line with this authorisation,
with the approval of the Supervisory Board, the Managing Board may resolve a
conditional capital increase for the above-mentioned purpose, in one or several
tranches, up to a maximum of EUR 3,312,840.00 by issuing up to 1,325,136 new
no-par-value common voting bearer shares against cash contribution and may
determine the issuing price and the terms of issue.
The report of the Managing Board in accordance with para. 159 section 3 in
conjunction with section 2 subsection 3 Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG)
has today been published on the company's website under "Investor Relations" at
www.zumtobelgroup.com/com/de/ir_information_centre_f.htm. A note concerning this
publication and the availability of the report of the Managing Board for
inspection at the company's premises has also been published today in the
Federal Gazette of Wiener Zeitung.
