Deutsche Lufthansa AG: Foreign shareholders exceed 45 per cent of Deutsche Lufthansa AG stock

Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP – a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. —————————————————————————— Foreign shareholders exceed 45 per cent of Deutsche Lufthansa AG stock As of 24 November 2006, 45.73% of the shareholders recorded in Deutsche Lufthansa AG’s shareholders’ register were not German nationals or not companies domiciled in Germany. The company notes that the proportion of foreign shareholders may not exceed 50 per cent of its share capital in order to retain its operating licence under European law and its air traffic rights to fly to international destinations outside Europe. That is why the company is entitled by the provisions of the German Aviation Compliance Documentation Act (LuftNaSiG) to take a number of measures to ensure that its shareholder structure remains predominantly German. Details of these provisions are available on the company’s website at www.lufthansa-financials.com. The company continues to place its confidence in the self-regulation of the capital market. However, the company would like to point out that shares with restriction on transferability can only be registered if shareholder data is available in full. This release is issued in accordance with §6 (2) LuftNaSiG in combination with §15 WpHG. §6 (1) LuftNaSiG requires Deutsche Lufthansa AG to report on the nationality of its shareholders every quarter. When certain thresholds for the number of shares held by foreign shareholders are reached, §6 (2) LuftNaSiG also provides for an obligatory disclosure pursuant to §15 WpHG.
