1) Proposal to Annual General Meeting

Rosenbauer maintained its growth trajectory in 2009.Group revenues
rose in 2009 to the record figure of EUR 541.8 Mio (2008: EUR 500.3
Mio), 8% up on the previous year. This development was driven largely
by the export sales of Rosenbauer International AG and by the Group´s
US businesses.

Last year´s operating result (EBIT before taking account of one-off
effects) was lifted by 9% to reach the highest figure ever, EUR 43.5
Mio (2008: EUR 39.9 Mio). As in previous years, the biggest
contributors to the result were the export business of Rosenbauer
International AG and the US companies. An operating EBIT margin
(before one-off effects) of 8.0% was achieved (2008: 8.0%), once more
fulfilling the strategic goal of attaining a figure above the
industry average.

First announced in May 2009, the investigation by the German Federal
Cartel Office is still underway and encompasses all the main
manufacturers of municipal fire fighting vehicles in Germany. After a
thorough assessment of the ongoing proceedings and due to
consultation with legal counsel, Management has decided to make a
provision in an amount of EUR 15.0 Mio. This leads to an EBIT, after
one-off effects, of EUR 29.4 Mio. A decision by the Federal Cartel
Office is expected during the financial year 2010.

Production JV established in Russia Russia is one of the world´s
biggest fire equipment markets. In the past, however, almost all
procurement was of locally produced vehicles, of comparatively low
qualitative and technical standard. Now a series of major fires, some
of them with disastrous consequences, have greatly heightened safety
awareness in the country. In response, a program has been launched to
modernize municipal fire departments in the larger cities, with
active involvement from Rosenbauer. Rosenbauer has been watching this
development closely in recent years, and in 2009 took the first steps
towards setting up a local production joint venture. These involved
building fire fighting vehicles fitted with top-quality equipment on
locally produced chassis, and delivering them to Russian fire
departments. This year it is planned to increase the production
numbers, gradually enlarging the locally manufactured content.

Outlook 2010 The high volume of order backlog at the end of 2009
means that full utilization of production capacity can be foreseen
for some time to come. This being the case, Management is confident
of another record year, with a further increase in the Group´s
revenues and operating result.

The Rosenbauer Group The Rosenbauer Group is the world´s leading
manufacturer of fire-fighting and disaster protection vehicles for
airports and industry. Rosenbauer is a full-liner with over 1,800
employees and an extensive range of municipal fire fighting vehicles
and aerials in line with both European and US standards, a
comprehensive selection of airport and industrial vehicles, the
latest extinguishing systems and special fire service equipment. In
2008, the Group, which is represented in over 100 countries,
generated revenues amounting to more than EUR 500 Mio.
