  the content of this announcement.
Duisburg, January 25, 2007 - The
international distribution company Klöckner & Co, which has been
included in the SDAX index since September 18, 2006, will be admitted
to the MDAX index of the Deutsche Börse (German Stock Exchange) in
Frankfurt am Main outside of the regular testing schedule on January
29, 2007.
Dr. Thomas Ludwig, Chairman of the Board of Management of Klöckner &
Co AG, welcomed the decision. "The admission of the Klöckner & Co
share to the MDAX index confirms the extremely positive performance
of our company in recent months. We are pleased that the good
performance of our share has been confirmed by its admission to the
index, making the share even more attractive as a result. The
admission to the MDAX was undoubtedly accelerated by the increase in
the freefloat of the Klöckner & Co share to 84.5 per cent."
The freefloat of the Klöckner & Co share increased from some 55 per
cent to 84.5 per cent on January 24, 2007, following the release of
some 29.7 per cent of the holdings of principal shareholder Lindsay
Goldberg & Bessemer (LGB) onto the free market. LGB now holds around
15.5 per cent of the company’s share capital.
Since Klöckner & Co AG launched its IPO on June 28, 2006, the share
price (issue price EUR 16.00) has more than doubled. On January 24,
2007, the share price closed at EUR 34.12 (Xetra) at the end of the
day’s trading. In 2006 the company reported sales of some EUR 5.5
billion.
