Munich, June 14, 2012 - MTU Aero Engines Holding AG has successfully placed
a EUR 250 million bond on the capital market. It has a five-year term,
expiring 2017, and a coupon of 3.0 %. The proceeds of the new issue will be
used for general business purposes. 'Despite the highly volatile market
environment, we were able to take advantage of our good reputation in the
capital markets to boost our liquidity at very favorable conditions,' said
Reiner Winkler, CFO of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG. 'That grants us greater
freedom to continue pursuing our strategy of sustainable growth.'

The bonds were purchased by institutional investors and retail
intermediaries from Germany and abroad, and the issue was heavily
oversubscribed. Moody's and Fitch rated the bond investment grade Baa3 and
BBB- respectively. Deutsche Bank and UniCredit acted as joint leads and
bookrunning managers for the bond issue.

The bond will be traded on the regulated market of the Luxembourg stock
exchange.
