Blaubeuren (euro adhoc) - centrotherm photovoltaics starts second
share repurchase

• Share repurchase of up to 128,014 shares
• Purpose: Payment for the acquisition of the remaining shares in SolMic
GmbH
• Share repurchase shall be concluded by December 31, 2008

Blaubeuren, November 7, 2008 - As announced on October 14, 2008 the
Management Board of centrotherm photovoltaics AG has passed a
resolution concerning the execution of a share repurchase of up to
128,014 shares. This corresponds to 0.6 percent of the current issued
share capital of the provider of technology and services for the
manufacturing of solar cells and solar silicon. The purchase price
per share (excluding ancillary purchase costs) maybe neither 10
percent higher nor 10 percent lower than the price calculated for the
company's share on the relevant stock market trading date by the
opening auction in Deutsche Börse AG's Xetra trading.

Pursuant to safe harbor regulations, the intention is that a mandated
bank shall perform the repurchase independently and uninfluenced by
the company.

The share repurchase can be commenced immediately on the basis of the
resolution of the Shareholders' General Meeting of June 11, 2008. The
repurchased shares will be used as part-payment for the acquisition
of the remaining 50 percent of the shares in SolMic GmbH, which
occurred in August 2008, and will be transferred to Dr. Albrecht
Mozer. SolMic is a specialist for technology and engineering services
revolving around design and process-optimization for the production
of polysilicon, ingot and wafers.

It is intended that the share repurchase will be concluded by
December 31, 2008.
