Mr Johannes Nonn, an industrial engineer who has held a number of executive positions in our
Group since 2002, most recently as the Board member at Salzgitter AG responsible for the Steel
Division, is leaving the company at his own request.

Mr Nonn will take up position as CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of
SCHMOLZ+BICKENBACH AG with headquarters in Emmen, Switzerland, on February 1, 2013.

The responsibility for the Steel Division on Salzgitter AG's Executive Board will be assumed by
