07.10.2005
The Annual General Meeting of K+S Aktiengesellschaft (K+S AG) held on
11 May 2005 authorized the Board of Executive Directors to acquire
own shares totalling up to 10% of the share capital on the stock
exchange in order to cancel them without any further resolution of
the Annual General Meeting; this corresponds to a maximum 4.25
million shares.  The repurchase authorisation is valid until 31
October 2006. In exercising this authorisation granted by the Annual
General Meeting, the K+S AG Board of Executive Directors resolved a
share repurchase programme via the stock exchange on 7 October 2005.
Under the programme, 1,250,000 shares, i.e. just under 3% of the
share capital, are to be acquired by the end of the year: At the
current share price, this corresponds to just over EUR 70 million.
The purpose of the purchase is to subsequently cancel the shares in
order to streamline the capital structure of K+S AG.  The purchase
price of the shares being bought back (excluding ancillary
acquisition costs) may not be 5% above or below the weighted average
of the stock exchange price of the shares in the XETRA computerized
trading system for the last five exchange trading days preceding the
acquisition. The repurchase will shortly be effected by a credit
institution that will decide about the timing of individual
repurchases independently of K+S AG and without being influenced by
it. Further information will made available on www.k-plus-s.com
during the repurchase process.
