shares (including shares offered to cover over-allotments) - In the course of the transaction, the shares of DO & CO are to be
admitted to trading on the Istanbul Stock Exchange - the first listing of
shares of a foreign issuer on the Istanbul Stock Exchange - If the over-allotment is exercised in full, the free float would reach

On 7 November 2010, the management board of DO & CO Restaurants & Catering
AG, with the approval of the supervisory board dated the same date and
based on the authorized capital resolved in the shareholders meeting of 5
July 2007, resolved to carry out a capital increase of the Company by
1,948,800 shares, from currently 7,795,200 shares to 9,744,000 shares at a
maximum subscription and offer price of EUR 21.90 per share.
The new shares are issued by allowing for statutory subscription rights of
the Company's existing shareholders.
Together with the new shares, the Company will sell all of the 147,078
treasury shares held by it, also allowing for subscription rights of
existing shareholders.
The subscription ratio (which is based on the aggregate sum of the new
shares and the treasury shares) has been set at 15:4, i.e. shareholders
will be entitled to subscribe for 4 new/treasury shares for every 15
outstanding shares held. The subscription period starts on 12 November and
ends on 26 November 2010. The final subscription and offer price will be
determined at the end of the subscription period on the basis of a
book-building process and may be higher than the price of the Company's
existing shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
In addition, the two principal shareholders of DO & CO, Attila Dogudan
Privatstiftung und DZR Immobilien und Beteiligungs GmbH are offering
604,318 existing shares, as well as up to an additional 405,030 existing
shares to cover over-allotments. Both principal shareholders have agreed
with the Company that they will not exercise the subscription rights with
respect to their existing shares.
The new shares and the offered existing shares carry full dividend rights
as from 1 April 2010.
The shares are offered solely for subscription by existing shareholders, as
well as for purchase to institutional investors. A public offering is
planned to be conducted in Turkey. There will be no public offering of
shares in Austria.
Based on the maximum subscription and offer price, the Company expects net
proceeds from the capital increase and the sale of the treasury shares of
approximately EUR 40 mio million.
If the over-allotment is exercised in full, the free float would increase
to approximately 47% upon completion of the capital increase and the share
sales.
DO & CO's entire share capital is expected to be listed on the Istanbul
Stock Exchange (ISE), reflecting the focus of the Company's business on the
growing Turkish market since the last few years. The legal framework for
the listing of a foreign issuer on the ISE and the public offering in
Turkey were only recently adopted and Do & Co will be the first foreign
issuer listed on the ISE. The shares will continue to be listed on the
Vienna Stock Exchange. Start of trading on both exchanges is expected to be
on 2 December 2010.
