With the agreement of the Supervisory Board, the Management Board
of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has today decided to
increase the share capital of Heidelberg by EUR 2,346,593.28 to EUR

The shareholders' subscription right has been waived in

0.393 percent of basic stock before the increase. To create the
shares, the Management Board made partial use of its authorization
in 2008 to issue shares from the authorized capital. The shares
will be made available to the participating former Linotype-Hell
shareholders on June 14, 2011. Following entry in the commercial
register, which is scheduled for June 6, 2011, the new total of
outstanding shares will amount to 234,246,940.
On March 30, 2011, Heidelberg arrived at an amicable agreement with the shareholders of Linotype-Hell AG, ending several years of legal dispute. In the context of a court settlement, it was agreed that the former Linotype-Hell shareholders will be granted a supplementary payment. As announced in a press release on April 4, 2011, this payment will be made in the form of Heidelberg shares.
