Munich, May 6, 2009 - On Wednesday, May 6, 2009, LUDWIG BECK AG was
notified by INTRO-Verwaltungs GmbH that INTRO-Verwaltungs GmbH, and
indirectly also Mr. Hans Rudolf Wöhrl, have exceeded the control threshold
of 30 % of voting rights in LUDWIG BECK AG and have published this
occurrence according to Sections 35 par. 1, 10 par. 3 WpÜG (Securities
Acquisition and Takeover Act). INTRO-Verwaltungs GmbH, in fulfillment of
its statutory obligations, announced its intent to submit a takeover offer
for the acquisition of the shares held by the LUDWIG BECK shareholders at
the cash acquisition price of EUR 11.90 per share - after approval of the
takeover offer-related documents by BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority).

Before that, INTRO-Verwaltungs GmbH had increased its shareholdings in
LUDWIG BECK AG by additional purchases from ATON GmbH and Hans Rudolf Wöhrl
Verwaltungs GmbH. Consequently, the share of INTRO-Verwaltungs GmbH in the
Munich fashion house went up to approximately 40.2 % in total. As a result,
the investment company has become the largest individual shareholder of the
fashion house.

After receipt of the relevant documents, the Executive Board of LUDWIG BECK
AG will thoroughly examine the offer in consideration of the interests of
LUDWIG BECK AG, its employees, its shareholders and its business partners.
The Executive Board will then deliver its founded opinion on the offer in
the legally prescribed form pursuant to Section 27 WpÜG (Securities
Acquisition and Takeover Act).
