04.09.2009
Duisburg, September 4, 2009 - The Management Board of Klöckner & Co 
SE has, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, decided today to 
carry out a capital increase from authorized capital. The Company´s 
share capital is to be increased by EUR 50,000,000 from EUR 
116,250,000 to EUR 166,250,000. The capital increase will be effected
through the issue of 20,000,000 no-par value shares with a calculated
pro rata share of the capital stock of EUR 2.50 per share and full 
dividend entitlement as of January 1, 2009.
The issue price for the new shares amounts to EUR 10.00 per share, 
resulting in gross issue proceeds of about EUR 200 million.
Klöckner & Co plans to use the issue proceeds to reinitiate 
acquisitions once the economic situation improves and to cover higher
working capital requirements resulting from such a recovery, both 
without markedly increasing its debt position.
Following the approval of the securities prospectus by the German 
Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für 
Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) anticipated on September 4, 2009, the 
new shares will be offered to Klöckner & Co shareholders for 
subscription at a ratio of 7 : 3; i.e. for 7 old shares shareholders 
can subscribe for 3 new shares. Shareholders` statutory subscription 
rights are excluded for a residual amount of 71,429 shares to ensure 
an even subscription ratio.
The subscription rights may be exercised during the period from 
September 8, 2009, through September 21, 2009. They will be traded in
the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange during the 
period from September 8, 2009, through September 17, 2009.
