---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Executive Board and Supervisory Board members have informed Tognum AG that
their shareholdings previously held indirectly through Seeker
Managementbeteiligung GmbH & Co KG, have been transferred to their private
portfolios. Following the end of the agreed lock-up period in July 2008,
these transfers have materialised in connection with the dissolution of
Seeker Managementbeteiligung GmbH & Co KG scheduled for the end of the
year. This company was set up in 2006 by former major shareholder EQT, as
well as four members of the Executive Board, four members of the
Supervisory Board (one former and three current members) and – at that time
– 23 second-level managers, with the objective of bundling executive
shareholdings in the amount of 11.6% in Tognum AG. Seeker
Managementbeteiligung has been holding this total of 11.6% of Tognum AG’s
shares until the expiry of the lock-up period.

Volker Heuer, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Tognum AG,
explains: 'The transfer of these shareholdings is a mere formality. Since I
am convinced of long-term profitable growth of Tognum AG, I continue to
regard my personal share in Tognum as a long-term commitment. I believe the
confirmation received by my colleagues on the Executive Board as well as
the members of the Supervisory Board involved, who all – just like
me – choose to remain invested, is a strong signal for the capital market.'

Tognum AG shareholder structure following the transfer of all shares to the
Limited Partners of Seeker Managementbeteiligung GmbH & Co KG:

• Daimler AG: > 25 % (since July 2008)
• Free float: < 75 %, of which 
 - Executive Board, total*: 6.7 % 
 - Supervisory Board, total*: 1.0 % 
 - Other executives**: 3.9 %
 - ING Group: > 5.0 % 
 - Schmid Maybach LLC: 2.7 %

* Reporting obligations with regard to so-called 'Directors’ Dealings'
apply for current members of both the Executive and the Supervisory boards,
as well as their close family, to be documented on the Tognum website
following initial publication (--> Investors --> Corporate Governance -->
Directors’ Dealings).

** Shareholdings known until expiry of the lock-up period. Since private
securities transactions of managers who are not a member of the Executive
Board or the Supervisory Board of Tognum AG, or of former executives who
are no longer a member of the Boards, are not subject to the 'Directors’
Dealings' reporting obligations, it is now no longer possible to track the
development of the shareholdings of these individuals.
