DEUTZ AG / Legal Matter/Legal Matter 16.10.2008 Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial investor 3i, to which the Company transferred its gas engines and diesel engines business for decentralised power generation (DEUTZ Power Systems) in September 2007, announced to the Company that it will assert a claim for reduction of the purchase price by way of arbitration action. The action, if successful, would presumably have a significant impact on the relevant annual results. 3i bases its claim on an alleged violation of disclosure obligations in connection with the acquisition of DEUTZ Power Systems. The Management Board has rejected the raised claims as being without merit.
