MAN SE: Release according to article 26, section 1 WpHG [Securities Trading Act]
Porsche Wolfgang 1. Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG, Stuttgart, Germany (the
'Notifying Party') informed us according to § 27a (1) sentence 1 of the
WpHG on October 27, 2010 on the following with respect to the Voting Rights
Announcement according to § 21 (1) of the WpHG dated October 5, 2010:
On September 29, 2010, the shareholding held by Dr. Wolfgang Porsche in
Wolfgang Porsche GmbH was contributed to the Notifying Party, to which
voting rights of MAN SE (the 'Issuer') were therefore attributable for the
first time within the meaning of § 22 of the WpHG. The voting rights of the
Issuer were acquired solely as a result of this contribution by attributing
voting rights attached to shares held by a subsidiary of the Notifying
Party (§ 22 (1) sentence 1 no. 1 of the WpHG).
1. Aims pursued through the acquisition of voting rights (§ 27a (1)
sentence 3 of the WpHG)
a) The contribution and resulting attribution of voting rights neither
serves to implement strategic aims nor to generate trading profits for the
Notifying Party.
b) The Notifying Party does not intend to obtain additional voting rights
within the next twelve months through acquisition or in any other way.
c) The Notifying Party does not seek to influence filling of the Issuer's
administration, management or supervisory bodies.
d) The Notifying Party does not seek to materially change the Issuer's
capital structure, particularly not the equity and debt financing ratio or
the dividend policy.
2. Origin of funds employed (§ 27a (1) sentence 4 of the WpHG)
Voting rights were only acquired by attributing voting rights as a result
of the aforementioned contribution of a shareholding. Other own or borrowed
funds were not used to finance the acquisition of the voting rights.
