Today, JENOPTIK AG has sold its minority stake in the stock exchange listed
company PVA TePla AG, Asslar.

With this further disposal of assets not required for operational purposes
the Jenoptik Group is consistently focusing on its core competencies in
Laser/Optics, Optoelectronics and Mechatronics and thus on its operating
business.

JENOPTIK AG will receive liquidity of more than 20 million euros from the
sale of the shares in PVA TePla AG. As planned Jenoptik will use this
amount to repay existing liabilities, in particular the remaining
liabilities to the minority shareholders of the sold Clean Systems division
of about 15 million euros.

JENOPTIK AG reaffirms the forecast for the full year 2007 made in August in
connection with the publication of the results for the first half year.
Besides the positive contribution to the Group from this sale, other
special effects that will impact the result are expected. These effects
might stem from the Group’s continuing process of focusing on its core
business (partially impacting on EBIT), from the early repayment of its
fixed-interest bond (effecting the financial result) and the reform of
taxation (deferred tax expense). Assuming that the balance of all special
effects in the second half of the year would produce a slightly positive
EBIT contribution, the Group EBIT might come in at 38 to 42 million euros.
If this can not be achieved, the Group EBIT for the year 2007 will be below
this range at 32 to 36 million euros, as already announced.
