By the end of the subscription period for the capital increase of IKB
Deutsche Industriebank Aktiengesellschaft on 11 August 2008 for 265,306,116
shares the exercise of subscription rights has been declared. Thereof
declarations in respect of 264,152,886 subscription rights are from KfW
Bankengruppe, in accordance with its actual share in IKB of 45.5 per cent.

In addition, KfW has committed itself to subscribing such number of
shares that IKB receives proceeds from the capital increase of at least €
1.25 billion. This commitment is subject to the condition precedent that
the European Commission has determined that the participation of KfW in the
capital increase either does not constitute a subsidy or constitutes a
subsidy that is approved. This reservation also applies to such shares for
which KfW declared the exercise of its subscription rights. A decision of
the European Commission is expected to be made in October 2008.

Due to the publication of an amendment to the prospectus for the capital
increase on 12 August 2008 shareholders who declared the exercise of their
subscription rights can repudiate their declaration within a two days
period.
