schlott gruppe AG suspends stock buy-back

- Temporary suspension of stock buy-back programme in view of this year's
AGM

Freudenstadt, January 11, 2008. On November 9, 2007, the Management Board
of schlott gruppe AG passed a resolution for the repurchase of company
shares, announcing its decision in the form of an ad hoc release.
Management is of the opinion that the current stock market price of company
shares does not adequately reflect the opportunities presented to schlott
gruppe in connection with the ongoing process of consolidation witnessed in
the European gravure printing industry.

Additionally, the company is currently in the process of strengthening
significantly its earnings prospects. Within this context, it has initiated
a cost-reduction programme spanning a period of three years, the aim of
which is to enhance the company's competitive position in a sustainable
manner.

In view of this year's Annual General Meeting of schlott gruppe AG on
February 26, 2008, schlott gruppe AG will suspend all stock repurchases in
the period from January 14 to February 27, 2008.

From the start of the buy-back to the present date, inclusive, the company
reacquired 54.358 shares for a total purchase consideration of EUR
947,822.05. The continuation of share buy-back transactions will be
announced in due course.
