voestalpine AG Annual General Meeting approves dividend and share
repurchase program

- Dividend of EUR 0.50 per share for the 2009/10 business year.
- Management Board authorized to repurchase the company´s own shares.
- Amendment of articles of association.

At the 18th ordinary Annual General Meeting of voestalpine AG, a
resolution was adopted today (Wednesday) to pay a dividend of EUR
0.50 per dividend-bearing share for the 2009/10 business year. The
shareholders followed the proposal in this respect made by the
Management and Supervisory Boards. The dividend will be distributed
starting as of July 19.

The Annual General Meeting also authorized the Management Board to
repurchase the company's own shares up to a limit of 10 per cent of
voestalpine AG´s share capital. This is a renewal of the repurchase
authorization already granted in 2008, which is intended inter alia
to serve employee shareholding schemes, the stock option program as
well as to serve convertible bonds the Management Board was
authorized to issue by the 2009 Annual General Meeting. The term of
the authorization to repurchase the company´s own shares is 30
months. In connection with this, the Management Board of voestalpine
AG was also authorized to redeem the company´s own shares up to a
maximum of 10 percent of voestalpine AG´s share capital and thus to
reduce the company´s share capital to such extent.

In addition, the Annual General Meeting adopted resolutions amending
the company´s articles of association, primarily to adapt them to
changes in legislation, particularly to the Austrian Stock
Corporation Amendment Act 2009.
