TAKKT AG proposes higher ordinary dividend and a special dividend

Ad-hoc statement, 14 March 2008

After confirmation of the financial statements at 31 December 2007 and approval of the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2007, the Supervisory and Management Boards of TAKKT AG, Stuttgart, have resolved to propose to the Annual General Meeting on 7 May 2008 a significant increase in dividends for the financial year 2007. The ordinary dividend is to increase by 28.0 percent, from EUR 0.25 to EUR 0.32 per share. The cash inflow from the sale of Conney Safety Products LLC also allows the distribution of a special dividend of EUR 0.48 per share. The total dividend would amount to EUR 0.80 per share, more than triple the prior year’s dividend.

Thanks to the very strong balance sheet and the stable business model, TAKKT will continue in future to enable its shareholders to participate directly in the profits and cash flow of the company in so far as no larger investment projects or acquisitions are undertaken.

The shares of the TAKKT AG are admitted to stock exchange trading with official quotation at the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange.
