Fresenius SE successfully completes capital increase

The new Fresenius SE shares were successfully placed today. In connection
with the company’s capital increase, 2,748,057 new ordinary shares were
issued at a price of € 52.00 and 2,748,057 preference shares were issued at
a price of € 53.00. The transaction has generated gross proceeds of approx.
€ 289 million, fully in line with Fresenius’ financing plan.

The new shares are expected to be included in the quotation of the existing
shares of Fresenius SE in the regulated market at the Frankfurt, Munich and
Düsseldorf stock exchanges. They have full dividend entitlement for the
fiscal year 2008.

Dr. Ulf Mark Schneider, Chairman of the Management Board of Fresenius SE
commented: 'The capital increase is a further component of the acquisition
financing for APP Pharmaceuticals. This acquisition provides attractive
growth opportunities for Fresenius Kabi’s existing product portfolio in
North America. At the same time, Fresenius Kabi achieves a leading position
in the global I.V. generics market. The successful placement of the new
shares reflects the confidence of the capital markets in our strategy. With
this placement, the entire equity financing of the APP Pharmaceuticals
acquisition has been completed within a few weeks.'

Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank acted as Joint Lead Managers and Joint
Bookrunners and WestLB as Joint Lead Manager for the offering.
