adesso AG: Capital reduction to be realised

• Merger of shares at a 7:1 ratio to go through on 17 August 2009
• Conversion to ISIN takes place on 18 August 2009

The ordinary capital reduction, resolved at the ordinary Annual General
Meeting of adesso AG (ISIN: DE0005493704 / WKN: 549370) on 29 May 2009 and
which took effect on being entered into the commercial register on 6 August
2009, will be initiated at the close of the stock exchange on 17 August
2009 at a ratio of 7:1. This means a decrease in share capital from EUR 40
million to EUR 5.7 million.

adesso shareholders receive a new 'converted' share with a pro-rata amount
of share capital totalling EUR 1.00 per share for seven shares with a
pro-rata amount of share capital totalling EUR 1.00 per share (ISIN:
DE0005493704). At the start of trading on Tuesday, 18 August 2009, adesso
shares will be listed along with the new ISIN DE000A0Z23Q5, the reduced
share capital and the new share price. The price of the present adesso
shares with ISIN: DE0005493704 will be adjusted after the consolidation of
shares. As a result of this measure, the share price is likely to increase
accordingly by the factor of 7 in purely mathematical terms and excluding
other market factors.

If so-called fractional shares result from the consolidation ratio, the
respective depositary banks will attempt to settle these fractional shares
(ISIN: DE000A0Z23P7) if instructed to do so by their customers. Depositary
banks may charge fees for conversions in securities accounts. Refunds by
adesso AG for potential charges are not envisaged.
