shares
SMT Scharf AG (WKN 575198, ISIN
DE0005751986), world market leader for rail-bound railway systems in 
mining, has resolved to initiate a share purchase plan for its 
employees. To implement the program SMT Scharf AG will buy back 
shares through an associated company in accordance with § 71 para. 1 
section 2 German Stock Companies Act. The purchase of up to 14,400 
shares will take place between January and March 2008 and will 
accordingly be published on the company's website www.smtscharf.com. 
The execution of the program - especially the maximum purchase price 
for the shares - will be in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 
2273/2003. Thus, the company will repurchase shares at a maximum 
price corresponding to the last official traded price at the stock 
exchange respectively the current asked price. Further, SMT Scharf 
will not buy more shares per trading day than 25% of the average 
daily trading volume during the last month.
Friedrich Trautwein, CEO of SMT Scharf AG: "We want our staff to 
participate in the successful development of our company through the 
share purchase plan and thereby also create incentives for the 
future."
Company profile The SMT Scharf Group develops, builds and maintains 
rail-bound railway systems for mining and use in tunnels. The trains 
are used all over the world, primarily in hard coal mines, gold mines
and in underground mining for platinum, diamonds, copper and nickel. 
They are used to transport material and personnel with working loads 
of up to 35t. Rail-bound trains are the only means of transport that 
can be used underground on branching lines to cope with inclines of 
more than 13 degrees. The SMT Scharf Group has subsidiaries in 
Germany, Poland, South Africa and China, external employees in 
Russia, and agencies around the world. The railways developed by SMT 
Scharf are characterized, above all, by high-performance engines, 
high working loads, high speed and low operating and maintenance 
costs. SMT Scharf records more than 50% of its revenues abroad, in 
2006 64% of order intake was from high-growth foreign markets such as
Russia, China and South Africa. The replacement parts and repairs 
business constitutes around 55% of revenues. The advances in 
exploitation of resources make underground conditions increasingly 
difficult which in turn requires more high technology transport 
solutions in mining. The total market for underground transport 
technology comprises around EUR 5 billion to EUR 7 billion per year 
according to company estimates. SMT Scharf AG has been listed in the 
Prime Standard (regulated market) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange 
since April 11, 2007.
