HeidelbergCement´s decision to implement capital increase 22.05.2007

The Managing Board of HeidelbergCement AG has resolved, with the
consent of the Supervisory Board, to make use of the authorised
capital and to implement a cash capital increase with a view to
strengthen the company´s equity base. VEM Vermögensverwaltung GmbH,
Dresden/Germany, a Merckle group company, will subscribe
approximately 4.4 million new shares at a close to stock market
subscription price of 114 Euro per share. The new shares are entitled
to receive dividends for the entire business year 2007. The
subscription rights for existing shareholders have been excluded. By
this capital increase, the company expects cash proceeds of
approximately 500 million Euro shortly. The proceeds will be used to
partly refinance the current cash offer for the entire share capital
of Hanson plc, UK.
