Treasury stock

On November 21, 2005, the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation purchased around 15.3 million ThyssenKrupp AG shares from the Company at the stock market price of €17.44 (XETRA closing price). The share package corresponds to 2.98% of the capital stock of ThyssenKrupp AG. As a result of the transaction, ThyssenKrupp AG has now sold all the treasury shares it purchased from IFIC Holding AG in May 2003. In addition, treasury stock was used for employee share programs in March 2004 and in April and June 2005.

On the basis of the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on January 27, 2006, the Executive Board of ThyssenKrupp AG resolved on July 03, 2006 to purchase up to 5% of the capital stock before the authorization expires. Commerzbank AG completed the share buyback program on August 21, 2006. The buyback was handled exclusively on the XETRA trading system of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Altogether 25,724,452 shares or 5% (rounded up) of the capital stock were purchased at a cost of €697 million. This represents an average price of €27.09. ThyssenKrupp's strong current performance and its ability to achieve sustainable high cash flows made it possible to carry out the share buyback to support the Group's growth strategy. The repurchased shares can be used as acquisition currency and to safeguard the growth strategy.

Good response again to employee share program

In April 2006 over 84,000 employees in Germany were given a fourth opportunity to acquire ThyssenKrupp shares on special terms. With a participation rate of 53% the program again received a very good response.

Step by step, employees in the rest of Europe are also being included in employee share programs. Shares were offered to Group employees in France, Spain and the UK in fiscal 2005/2006.

Stockholder base broadened in the UK and the USA

ThyssenKrupp again conducted a detailed analysis of its stockholder structure in the reporting period with a view to planning its roadshow activities. The main finding of the analysis is that the proportion of stockholders in the USA and the UK has increased significantly. On September 30, 2006 institutional investors in the USA held almost 10% of the capital stock of ThyssenKrupp AG. Investors in the UK more than doubled their holding to over 6%. The percentage of the stock held by institutional investors in Germany decreased. The holdings of private investors also decreased and now account for 19% of the capital stock. Within Europe the stockholder base again proved very stable. Worthy of note are the holdings owned by stockholders in France (2%) and Switzerland (1%), the main European countries after the UK.

The largest stockholder is the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, Essen, which holds 23.71% of the capital stock of ThyssenKrupp AG.

As previously stated, ThyssenKrupp AG holds treasury shares amounting to 5% (rounded up) of the capital stock. However, ThyssenKrupp AG has no rights in respect of these shares.

The free float, which is generally taken into account in the weighting of ThyssenKrupp's stock in stock indices, is 76.29% of the capital stock.

Investor relations further enhanced

We again expanded our investor relations activities in the reporting period.

For institutional investors and analysts we further developed the field days format introduced last year. The aim of the field days is to give participants detailed insights into the operations of the segments. In 2006 the focus was on the Elevator and Technologies segments with their shipbuilding and escalator operations in Hamburg. With more than 50 participants the level of interest was again very high.

With our regular roadshows we strengthened our presence on major markets such as Frankfurt, London and Boston. In addition we introduced ourselves to new investors in markets such as Milan, Vienna and Reykjavik.

For people interested in the performance of ThyssenKrupp's stock – and particularly for our private investors – we have introduced a stockholders' letter called "#750.000 compact". The name "750.000" reflects the stock's securities identification number. The letter is published once a quarter and presents the Company's results and other stock-related information in an understandable way. It can be obtained in conjunction with our e-mail newsletter.
