- Dividend of EUR 0.90 per share for the business year 2012/13 -
Management Board is authorized to repurchase voestalpine's own shares

At the 21st Annual General Shareholder's Meeting of voestalpine AG
today, Wednesday, July 3, 2013, a dividend of EUR 0.90 per
dividend-bearing share was approved for the business year 2012/13.
The shareholders acted on the relevant recommendation by the
Management Board and the Supervisory Board.The dividend shall be paid
out starting on July 15.

Furthermore the Annual General Meeting authorized the Management
Board to repurchase voestalpine's own shares representing no more
than 10 percent of the share capital of voestalpine AG. This is a
renewal of the authorization to repurchase the company's own shares
that was issued in 2010 to be used specifically, but not exclusively
for the expansion of the employee shareholding scheme or to service
stock option programs or convertible bonds. The authorization to
repurchase voestalpine's own shares is valid for 30 months. In this
context, the Management Board of voestalpine AG was also authorized
to redeem the company's own shares up to a maximum of 10 percent of
the share capital of voestalpine AG, thus reducing the share capital
by the same percentage.

Additionally, the Annual General Meeting adopted a resolution to
amend the Articles of Incorporation, mainly in order to adapt them to
changes in legislation, particularly the Austrian Stock Corporation
Amendment Act 2011.
