Further measure regarding strategic development completed:
ThyssenKrupp has successfully placed treasury stock corresponding to 9.6%
of capital stock

ThyssenKrupp AG has successfully completed the sale of 49,484,842 treasury
shares, corresponding to 9.6% of the capital stock, in an 'Accelerated
Bookbuilding' process, as announced on July 06, 2011. The shares were
mainly placed with German and international institutional investors.

The treasury shares were sold at a price of 32.95 euros per share and lead
to a cash inflow of 1,631 million euros. The difference against the average
repurchasing price of 30.92 euros (incl. brokerage) will be recognized
directly in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.

As a result of the sale the free float of ThyssenKrupp AG will increase to
74.7% of the capital stock (384,175,444 shares).

The sale of stock will strengthen the Group's equity and reduce net
financial debt. Therewith, ThyssenKrupp has implemented a further measure
regarding the strategic development program announced in mid-May.
