Vienna, 26 July 2011 - With the approval of the supervisory board, the

the share capital of Kapsch TrafficCom AG will be increased from EUR 12,200,000
by up to EUR 800,000 to up to EUR 13,000,000. The new shares will be issued from
Kapsch TrafficCom AG's authorized capital without subscription rights for
existing shareholders as approved by the shareholders' meeting on 15 May 2007.
Upon issuance, the new shares will represent approximately 6.6% of the then
existing share capital and will carry full dividend rights from and including
the fiscal year 2010/2011 (from 1 April, 2010).

The transaction also includes a secondary component of up to 300,000 shares from
the holdings of the majority shareholder KAPSCH-Group Beteiligungs GmbH aiming
to further increase free float and liquidity of the Kapsch TrafficCom stock post

The shares will be placed to domestic and international institutional investors
through an accelerated book-building process to be launched immediately. The
offering is expected to price on Wednesday, 27 July 2011. The shares will not be
offered to the public.

Application has been made to admit the up to 800,000 new shares to trading on
the Official Market (Prime Market segment) of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The
first trading day in the new shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange is expected to
be 1 August 2011.

Kapsch TrafficCom intends to use the net proceeds from the placement of the new
