Hohenstein-Ernstthal, 10 February 2010 - Roth & Rau AG today successfully
placed shares by way of an accelerated bookbuilding. In the context of a
private placement, a total of 1,379,999 shares were allocated at a price of

The company will implement a capital increase out of authorized capital and
