Munich, August 20, 2007 – MTU Aero Engines intends to repurchase about 1
million additional own shares within the next six months. This has been
decided by the company’s management board, after MTU had surpassed the
level of holding 5 percent of its shares during the last week (as published
on August 17, 2007). Since June 2006, the company has repurchased about 2,8
million of its shares.

The repurchase of the additional shares will take place successively and
with due respect for market factors. The shares are intended to be mainly
used for servicing the convertible bond, which MTU had issued in January
2007 in the amount of €180 million. For this purpose, the company needs up
to 3.64 million shares.

MTU Aero Engines is the leading German manufacturer of aircraft engines and
ranks among the largest companies in its sector. Together with its
affiliates, the company maintains a presence in all essential markets and
regions. MTU is the world’s largest independent provider of MRO services
for commercial aero engines. In the military sector, MTU is the lead
industrial partner for almost every type of aero engine in service with the
German armed forces, and an important partner in major military engine
programs in Europe. The company is a technological leader, with outstanding
expertise in high-pressure compressors, low pressure turbines, engine
control units, and manufacturing and repair processes.
