Ahlers decides to extend share buy-back programme

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Ahlers AG decided to
again make use of the authorisation to acquire own shares granted by the
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on May 15, 2008 and to continue the share
buy-back programme, which was launched on November 4, 2008 and originally
limited until January 31, 2009. Between November 4, 2008 and January 31,
2009, the company acquired own shares representing 0.44 percent of the
share capital (0.09 percent ordinary shares and 0.88 percent preference
shares).

The company plans to continue to acquire shares representing up to 10
percent of the share capital at the stock exchange, with the shares already
acquired counted towards this limit. The repurchased shares may be used for
all purposes provided for in the respective resolution passed by the Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting on May 15, 2008. The price paid by the company per
share (excl. incidental expenses) must not be more than 10 percent above or
below the price determined by the opening auction at the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange on the respective trading day. The shares will continue to be
repurchased by a bank commissioned by the company in accordance with
Directive (EC) No. 2273/2003 of the Commission dated December 22, 2003 on
trading in own shares.

Scheduled to be launched on February 5, 2009, the programme comprises the
acquisition of ordinary and preference shares, may be suspended at any time
and will end no later than May 5, 2009.

Ahlers AG will provide regular updates on the share buy-back programme on
its website 'www.ahlers-ag.com', Investor Relations.
