ams Offer GmbH (currently still operating under Blitz F19-566 GmbH) (the
"Bidder"),a wholly owned subsidiary of ams AG, Premstätten, Austria, decided

Licht AG (DE000LED4000; the "OSRAM Shares"). The Bidder intends to offer a cash
consideration in the amount of EUR 41.00 per OSRAM Share.
The Bidder expects to make the Takeover Offer subject to completion conditions

50% of all issued OSRAM Shares plus one OSRAM Share and other customary closing
conditions.
The offer document for the Takeover Offer (in German and a non-binding English

information relating to, the Takeover Offer, respectively, will be published on
the internet at
                         www.offer-ams-osram.de.
The offer document for the Takeover Offer will also be published by way of a
notice of availability in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and will
be accessible on the website of the German Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht, "BaFin").

Offer by the Bidder to the shareholders of OSRAM Licht AG will be set forth in
the offer document which will be published following approval of its publication
by BaFin. Holders of OSRAM Shares are strongly recommended to read the offer
document and to seek independent advice, where appropriate, in relation to the
matters therein. Moreover, this announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a
solicitation of an offer to purchase shares in ams.

their behalf may, outside of the United States of America and in compliance with
applicable law, from time to time make certain purchases of, or arrangements to

Shares, other than pursuant to the Takeover Offer, before, during or after the
period in which the Takeover Offer will remain open for acceptance. These

transactions at negotiated prices. Any information about such purchases would be
disclosed as required by law or regulation in Germany or other relevant
jurisdictions.
