Wiesbaden, 7 September 2015 - The executive board of KION GROUP AG (the
"Company"), Wiesbaden (ISIN DE000KGX8881) resolved today to make use of the
authorization given by the general meeting of shareholders on 13 June 2013
to buy back further own shares in the context of an employee participation
program. Approval of the supervisory board is not required.

The buy-back will be effected by KION GROUP AG. At this time the Company
holds 163,562 own shares. These shares as well as further own shares to be
acquired shall be offered for acquisition to persons employed by KION GROUP
AG or one of its affiliated companies in the context of an employee
participation program. This purpose is covered by the authorization of the
general meeting of shareholders.

The buy-back shall be effected via the stock exchange and in compliance
with Art. 4 - 6 Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2273/2003 of 22 December
2003 (the "Regulation"). During the period from 10 September 2015 to 15
October 2015 a total of up to 70,000 shares without par value of the
Company (i.e. approximately 0.07 per cent of the nominal share capital)
shall be acquired in the context of a buy-back program. The buy-back
program will be executed by Deutsche Bank AG as agent for the Company which
will make its decisions regarding the execution of the purchase of shares
of the Company independently from, and without influence by, the Company.
Deutsche Bank AG will enter into a contract with KION GROUP AG in which it
undertakes vis-à-vis KION GROUP AG to comply with the conditions for
trading according to Art. 5 of the Regulation. Notwithstanding the
restrictions arising from the Regulation, the purchase price per share
(excluding incidental acquisition costs) shall not exceed by more than 10
per cent, nor fall below by more than 20 per cent, the average closing
price of the shares of the Company carrying the same rights in Xetra
trading (or a comparable successor system) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange
during the last five trading days before the trading day on which such
share is repurchased.

The Company will, for all transactions executed in the context of the
buy-back program, disclose on a weekly basis the information referred to in
Art. 4 (4) in connection with (3) of the Regulation on its website
(www.kiongroup.com) in the section "Investor Relations".

The buy-back program may, as far as necessary and legally permitted, be
suspended and resumed at any time.
