KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG: Sufficient Shares Available For CATIC

• Cooperation with CATIC opens up Chinese market for KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG and gives joint access to international turnkey projects
• Transaction expected to be closed between February 8 – 14, 2011

Cologne, January 20, 2011 – On January 19, 2011, the subscription period for new shares of KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG (“Company”) ended. As announced in the ad hoc disclosure from December 21, 2010, the capital increase would be completed only if upon close of the subscription period sufficient shares from the authorized capital remain available to permit CATIC’s indirect subsidiary Max Glory Industries Ltd. (“MGI”) to subscribe for such a number of new shares which results in MGI holding 20% of the shares in the Company post completion. The Company herewith informs that sufficient shares are available and a respective portion thereof will now be offered to MGI for subscription as provided for under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. This step is a major milestone of the cooperation of the Company with CATIC, which will enable the two partners to bid on a wider range of projects, including large turnkey projects, and penetrate the most important cement markets – including China, the largest cement market in the world. The Subscription Agreement provides for completing of the subscription by MGI and final closing no later than February 14, 2011 subject to various conditions, which the Company believes will be fulfilled. The exact figures as to the number of new shares to be issued in the course of this capital increase will be announced upon final completion of the transaction.
