Kassel (euro adhoc) - Kassel, 13 March 2013

Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2013 Supervisory Board will propose
new shareholder representatives for election

The Supervisory Board of K+S Aktiengesellschaft will propose to the
Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2013 that Dr. Annette Messemer and
Wesley Clark be newly elected to the Supervisory Board of the
Company. Today's resolution pursues the goal of having two female
members on the body in the future and taking greater account of the
increasing international nature of K+S.

Dr. Annette Messemer, divisional board member for Corporates &
Markets of Commerzbank AG, would complement the Supervisory Board by
a new independent financial expert. As a former CEO of the K+S
subsidiary Morton Salt, one of the largest salt producers in North
America, US-American Wesley Clark, operating partner of the Advent
International Global Private Equity Group, has many years of
experience in the salt business.

Furthermore, the Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General
Meeting that, in order to ensure appropriate continuity, Jella S.
Benner-Heinacher, Dr. Eckart Sünner, Dr. Rudolf Müller and Dr. Bernd
Malmström be re-elected to the Supervisory Board. The mandates of
Rainer Grohe and Dr. Karl Heidenreich will end with the close of the
Annual General Meeting 2013; both Gentlemen were, for reasons of age,
no longer available for re-election. The Supervisory Board expresses
its gratitude to the two members of the body for their many years of
committed work.

The election of the employee representatives will take place at the
beginning of April 2013.
