Company Information/20 years as listed company

-Rosenbauer celebrates 20 years as a listed company
-Sustainable company and share price development
-Family and institutional investors as stable shareholders
-All-time high of EUR 72.55 on September 15, 2014

Rosenbauer International AG went public on September 27, 1994 at an
issue price of EUR 55.594 - or EUR 13.898 calculated on the basis of
the 2007 share split. Almost 20 years to the day and with suitably
good timing, the share price reached a historic all-time high of EUR
72.55. The performance of the share price reflects the company's
development over the same period: while the revenues of Rosenbauer
International AG have increased sixfold since the IPO, from around
EUR 123 million to EUR 738 million in the past year, the company's
value on the stock exchange has increased more than fivefold.

This solid business development is also reflected in the continuous
payment of a dividend that has risen steadily over recent years. The
dividend increased from EUR 0.15 to EUR 1.20 per share in the period
from 2000 to 2013, while the dividend yield in the past ten years has
always been between 2.0% and 3.6%.

Stable shareholder structure The composition of the shareholder
structure is as stable and sustainable as the development of the
company itself. A total of 6.8 million no-par value bearer shares are
in circulation, of which 51% are held by Rosenbauer
Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH, a company formed by the family
shareholders. The shares in free float are held by international fund
companies with a long-term focus, primarily from Austria, Germany,
France, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and Belgium, which
provides stability.

The family has stood behind the company since its formation by Johann
Rosenbauer in 1866. "As a strong core shareholder, together with the
institutional investors, the Rosenbauer family serves to ensure the
company's long-term strategic focus and its continuous development,"
commented Dieter Siegel, CEO of Rosenbauer International AG.

Green light for internationalization When they were issued 20 years
ago, Rosenbauer's shares were seven times oversubscribed. They were
also subscribed for by more than 70% of the company's employees -
both absolute records for Austria at the time. The aim of the IPO was
to generate fresh capital for planned growth projects, particularly
the first investments in the USA, the acquisition of the German
aerial manufacturer Metz, and the expansion of the international
sales network. Today, the Group has production sites on three
continents and is the world's leading fire service corporation, with
a sales and service network spanning more than 100 countries.

Numerous awards Rosenbauer International AG trades on the Vienna
Stock Exchange under ISIN: AT0000922554 and is listed in the Prime
Market segment. The company's shares are also traded on the regulated
unofficial market of the Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Munich and
Stuttgart stock exchanges under German Securities Code Number (WKN)
DE 892502.

Rosenbauer and its corporate strategy, investor relations and share
price development have frequently won awards in recent years,
including second place in the Vienna Stock Exchange Small & Mid Cap
Prize in 2013 and 2014, second place in the ten-year ranking of the
Strategic Performance Test 2013, and second place in the three-year
ranking of the Strategic Performance Test 2011
