Subtitle: Annual General Meeting 2010
At today´s Annual General Meeting of Henkel
AG & Co. KGaA, Kasper Rorsted, Chairman of the Management Board, 
reaffirmed the company´s long-term targets and detailed the progress 
made in pursuing its strategic priorities. "We are on the right track
to achieving our 2012 targets. Despite the significant challenges 
that it presented to us, fiscal 2009 was still a year in which we 
were able to make a number of material advances," Rorsted said. Dr. 
Simone Bagel-Trah, Chairwoman of the Shareholders´ Committee and of 
the Supervisory Board, made a point of thanking both the Management 
Board and Henkel´s employees for their enormous commitment in the 
past financial year, a period characterized by, in her words, an 
extraordinarily difficult economic environment. "Thanks to our 
motivated team, all our business sectors developed successfully," 
Bagel-Trah emphasized.
In view of the current economic climate, Kasper Rorsted, Chairman of 
the Management Board, advised caution: "Although the world economy 
has meanwhile stabilized, we are still far away from the normality 
that we enjoyed prior to the crisis. Consequently, it is still too 
early to return to `business as usual´. The global economic risks 
have not gone away. And added to these, we are having to contend with
ever increasing economic pressures affecting every sector and 
region." Therefore, Rorsted stressed, it was all the more important 
to secure the company´s future competitiveness by taking the right 
decisions and implementing the right measures.
Rorsted was nevertheless encouraged by the company´s performance at 
the beginning of the current fiscal year. "Henkel has made a good 
start to 2010 with all three of our business sectors reporting 
initial successes." Further details would be available with 
publication of the report for the first quarter on May 5. Looking at 
2010 as a whole, Rorsted reaffirmed the targets for the year as 
stated at the company´s recent annual press conference. "We intend to
gain market shares in all three of our business sectors, while also 
increasing by more than ten percent both adjusted operating profit 
and adjusted earnings per preferred share."
According to Rorsted, the points of focus for fiscal 2010 include 
expanding Henkel´s business in the growth regions, strengthening its 
top brands and deepening its customer relationships, as well as 
developing its employees and strengthening the company´s global team.
