Notification of Termination of Share Buyback Program

GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft terminated its share buyback program which
started on October 6, 2008. On the basis of the authorization issued by the
Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2008, in accordance with Section 71
Paragraph 1 No. 8 of the German Stock Corporation Law, a total of 175,000
bearer shares were repurchased for an overall amount of EUR 2,123,914.50
(average price per share rounded EUR 12.137).

On November 28, 2008 the Executive Board of GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft
