On 26 April 2007, voestalpine AG published a voluntary public 
takeover bid to the shareholders of Boehler-Uddeholm AG which was 
improved and the acceptance period extended by corresponding 
publication on 19 May, 2007 preceded by a press release on May 18, 
2007. The (extended) acceptance period for the takeover bid expired 
on 4 June, 2007 at 5:30 p.m. Vienna time.
According to the preliminary result of the takeover bid, voestalpine 
has secured more than 50% of the voting stock of Boehler-Uddeholm AG 
after the expiration of the term of acceptance in any event. Hence, 
pursuant to § 25a para 2 Takeover Act the takeover bid was 
successful.
Details will be published immediately after the final result becoming
available, presumably during the course of today.
voestalpine AG or any person acting in concert with voestalpine AG 
may make purchases of, or arrangements to purchase, directly or 
indirectly, Boehler-Uddeholm shares other than pursuant to the Offer 
outside the United States. Any such purchase will be made in 
accordance with Austrian law and will be notified to the Austrian 
Takeover Commission or, if and to the extent required by the Austrian
Takeover Code, disclosed through the issuance of press releases in 
Austria and the United States.
The public offer has been available since 26 April 2007 and the 
revision of the takeover bid from its publication on 19 May 2007
