18.02.2008
Graz/Vienna, 18 February 2008.  Andritz AG has today successfully 
concluded the issue of a public corporate bond with a volume of 150 
million Euros and a tenor of seven years.  At a denomination of 
50,000 Euros the Andritz corporate bond is endowed with an annual 
fixed coupon rate of 5.25%.  Admission to the Vienna Stock Exchange 
was applied for.  The Andritz corporate bond is expected to be quoted
in the Third Market on the Vienna Stock Exchange for the first time 
on 20 February 2008.
Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG (RZB) has acted as the lead 
manager supporting Andritz in this placement. The corporate bond has 
been placed with institutional investors and banks.
Continuation of long-term growth "The strong growth that Andritz has 
experienced over the past few years has been founded on a solid 
balance structure with a good equity base and sufficiently high net 
liquidity.  The corporate bond which we have successfully issued 
today supersedes the Andritz corporate bond 2002-2008 (total volume 
100 MEUR) that will mature in June 2008 and forms a substantial 
financial basis for the future development of our company," explains 
Andritz AG CEO Wolfgang Leitner.
Impressive investment story "Andritz is positioned very well and its 
investment story in a difficult capital market environment is most 
impressive," says Patrick Butler, Member of the Board of Management 
of RZB responsible for Investment Banking und Treasury, about the 
successful placement.
The corporate bond issued by Andritz was the first issue on the 
Corporate Bond Market in 2008.
