Nuremberg, 2 June 2005 - GfK (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: GFK, Prime
Standard Segment; SDAX) intends to place up to 3.15m shares from a

with the exclusion of preemptive rights. The shares will be placed
through an accelerated bookbuilding process to German and
international institutional investors (including a placement to
qualified institutional buyers in the U.S. in reliance on Rule 144A
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933). Dresdner Kleinwort
Wasserstein and ABN AMRO Rothschild are acting as Joint Bookrunners
of the transaction. Pricing and allocation of the capital increase is
expected to occur on or before 3 June 2005.
The issue proceeds will be used to partly refinance the acquisition
of NOP World from United Business Media, further to the successful
closing of the acquisition on 1 June 2005.
