Restructuring
28.07.2009
München, July 28, 2009 - The Management Board and Supervisory Board 
of ESCADA AG today resolved to improve the exchange offer for 
bondholders and to extend the exchange period as well as the 
subscription period of the subscription offer, both of which are key 
parts of the current restructuring concept.
The exchange offer requires a minimum acceptance quota of at least 
80% of the holders of the 2005/2012 bond. ESCADA AG has resolved to 
improve the exchange offer today. In addition to the consideration 
already offered, bondholders who have already exchanged or will 
exchange their old bonds by the end of the exchange period, will 
receive 10 ESCADA shares for every 1,000 euros in nominal value of 
the old bond exchanged. As a consequence of this change, the exchange
period will be extended to August 11, 2009.
By offering this additional component of 10 ESCADA shares, ESCADA AG 
aims to accommodate bondholders who wish to become shareholders and 
participate in any possible future success of the Company. These 
additional shares are being provided by certain existing 
shareholders. The shareholders Fasshonaburu S.à.r.l. (shareholder: 
Rustam Aksenenko), BO-DO Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (shareholder: 
Wolfgang Herz) and Bestinver Gestión, S.A. as well as the board 
members Bruno Sälzer, Werner Lackas and Claus Mingers have agreed to 
make available, without consideration, a total of up to 2 million 
ESCADA shares for this purpose if the exchange offer is successful.
Supplemental prospectus information will be made available on the 
websites www.escada-anleihe.com and 
http://investor-relations.escada.com.
At the same time, the subscription period for the subscription offer 
is being extended to August 12, 2009 in order to permit the 
simultaneous settlement of both the exchange offer and the 
subscription offer. In addition, the trading period of subscription 
rights on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is being extended. The 
corresponding supplement to the prospectus dated July 21, 2009 will 
be made available by ESCADA AG free of charge following its approval 
by the BaFin (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht - 
German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority). Outside Germany and 
Austria, the subscription offer is subject to all restrictions 
imposed by applicable local law.
