HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. makes private placement and creates foundation for a
listing mid of November

In the context of a private placement, HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. has placed
about 11.1 million shares in a capital increase to be prospectively
resolved today and to be consummated on November 6, 2014. The placement
price was EUR 25.00 per share. HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. expects to generate
gross proceeds of about EUR 278 million on 11 November 2014.

After the completion of the capital increase, the share capital of the
company will amount to EUR 222,222,224 from 111,111,112 shares.

With this placement, HELLA has secured the prerequisites for admission to
the regulated market of the Frankfurt stock exchange (Prime Standard) and
the Luxembourg stock exchange. The shares of HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co. are
expected to start trading on 11 November 2014.

There are plans for a further private placement of another up to 5.75
million shares (including an over-allotment in the amount of up to 750,000
shares) from the holdings of the family shareholders in course of the
listing. The further private placement targets exclusively qualified
