voestalpine board: no rights issue for Böhler-Uddeholm take-over

  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible

13.04.2007
The management board of voestalpine AG has decided to finance the 
planned take- over of Böhler-Uddeholm AG without rights issue. After 
a thorough assessment of the promising mid-term business prospects 
and taking into consideration voestalpine's ability to leverage, the 
management-board is convinced that even a take-over of all 
outstanding shares of Böhler-Uddeholm AG can be effected solely on 
the basis of a temporary higher debt-level. This assessment is among 
others based on discussions with several banks with whom the 
financing requirements have been explored and the means of financing 
available to the company have been confirmed. The management-board is
convinced that even after a take-over of Böhler-Uddeholm AG without 
rights issue such debt-ratios can be secured which implicitly 
correspond to an investment-grade-rating.

voestalpine AG under +43/50304/15-9949.
