Duisburg, August 8, 2008 - With the entry
into the Commercial Register of the Duisburg Municipal Court today, 
the transformation of Klöckner & Co Aktiengesellschaft into a 
European Company (Societas Europaea, SE) was concluded. Thus, as of 
August 8, 2008, the company is known as Klöckner & Co SE. "The legal 
form of the SE is an expression of a modern, entrepreneurially 
spirited Europe. For an international company like Klöckner & Co, it 
represents a significant step in the company´s history," said Dr. 
Thomas Ludwig, Chairman of the Management Board of Klöckner & Co SE.
The company´s headquarters will remain in Duisburg. The two-tier 
system of Supervisory Board and Management Board will remain in 
effect as well. The members of the AG´s Management Board and the AG´s
Supervisory Board, which will continue to have no employee 
representatives, will also be members of the corresponding boards in 
the SE. The elections for the new SE Works Council, which will 
consist of up to 21 members from 14 EU countries, will be held soon. 
No other changes will be made within the Group as a result of the 
conversion.

of Klöckner & Co AG have automatically become shareholders of 
Klöckner & Co SE. The shares of Klöckner & Co SE will continue to be
