Stock split at FUCHS PETROLUB

On May 11, 2011 the annual general meeting of FUCHS PETROLUB AG inter alia has taken the decision to implement a stock split at a ratio of 1:3. The stock exchange quotation is now to be converted on June 30, 2011. This will see every ordinary shareholder and preference shareholder receive three shares each with a calculated stake in the capital stock of EUR 1 for the previous shares with a nominal value of EUR 3.

The unaltered capital stock amounting to EUR 70,980,000 will now be divided into 35,490,000 ordinary shares as well as 35,490,000 preference shares with a calculated nominal value of EUR 1 per ordinary or preference share.
The depositary banks will convert FUCHS PETROLUB AG's stocks of ordinary and preference shares in a ratio of 1:3 according to the value on June 29, 2011 by entering three shares in the shareholders' accounts for each share which is deleted. The shareholders do not have to do anything here. The conversion of the managed assets shall be free of charge for the shareholders.

The company believes that this split will increase the attractiveness of FUCHS PETROLUB shares still further, in particular for private investors.
