Duisburg, June 27,2006 - Today, Klöckner & Co Aktiengesellschaft, the

determined the offer price at EUR 16.00 per share. At the offer price

with the success of our roadshow, especially as we celebrate our
100th anniversary on the first day of trading. Despite difficult
market conditions, investors believe in the sustainability of our
business model and in our strong upward potential in the long term,"
said CEO Thomas Ludwig. Based on the issue price, and including the
new shares from the capital increase, the market capitalization will
amount to EUR744 million. The company will receive gross proceeds of
EUR104 million from a capital increase consisting of a total of 6.5
million new shares. The first day of trading on the Prime Standard
Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will be June 28, 2006. Based
on the offer price, the offer size will be EUR264 million and EUR296
million if the greenshoe option is fully exercised. 10 million shares
are being placed from the holdings of the selling shareholder, 6.5
million new shares from a capital increase and further 2 million
additional shares from the holdings of the selling shareholder in
connection with the overallotments. The free float will amount to
around 40 percent if the greenshoe option is fully exercised. 98.7
percent of the 18.5 million offered shares were placed with
institutional investors and 1.3 percent with private investors. All
shares carry a full dividend entitlement for the financial year,
which has commenced on January 1, 2006. The shares were allotted to
private investors in Germany in compliance with the "Principles for
the Allotment of Share Issues to Private Investors" issued by the
Stock Exchange Commission of Experts at the Federal Ministry of
Finance on June 7, 2000.The allocation to private investors was based
upon uniform criteria by the Joint Bookrunners, i.e., each private
investor received an identical percentage allotment of their demand.
The selling shareholder will retain an interest of around 60 percent
in the company if the greenshoe option is fully exercised. Under a
lock-up agreement, the selling shareholder has undertaken to retain
its remaining shares for a period of twelve months from the delivery
of the shares. The company has agreed not to announce or effect any
increases from authorized capital during this period, or to propose
such increases to its general meeting. The company will receive
gross proceeds of EUR104 million. After deduction of commissions,
these will be used to further improve the capital structure of the
Klöckner & Co Group and to repay third-party debt, thus generating
additional headroom for growth. Specifically, the company is
considering a partial redemption of the notes issued by Klöckner
Investment S.C.A.
