Salzgitter, 29. September 2009 (euro adhoc) - Convertible bond
offering: Issue size: approx. EUR 296 million, Coupon: 1.125%,
Conversion price: EUR 83.4963

Salzgitter AG announces the successful placement of its approx. EUR
296 million senior unsecured convertible bonds (the "Bonds") with
domestic and international institutional investors outside of the US

transaction Salzgitter diversifies its sources of funding and intends
to use the proceeds from the issue for general corporate purposes.
The Bonds will be issued by Salzgitter Finance B.V. (the "Issuer"), a
wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary of Salzgitter AG, guaranteed by
Salzgitter AG, and will be convertible into Salzgitter AG shares. The
Bonds will have a maturity of seven years. Holders of the Bonds will
be entitled to require an early redemption of their Bonds on the
fifth anniversary, after the issue date, at the principal amount
together with accrued interest. The annual coupon has been set at
1.125 % from a coupon range of 0,625 % to 1,625 %. The initial
conversion price has been set at EUR 83.4963, which represents a
conversion premium of 25% above the reference price of EUR 66.7970.
The pre-emptive rights of shareholders of Salzgitter to subscribe to
the Bonds are excluded. Settlement will take place on or around 6.
October 2009. Salzgitter intends to list the Bonds on the Open Market
(Freiverkehr) segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Commerzbank,
Deutsche Bank and UniCredit Group (Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank
AG) are joint bookrunnners
