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

As far as Leica Camera AG is aware a total of 15 shareholders have brought
actions before the Frankfurt Superior Court for avoidance of the resolution
of the General Meeting of Leica Camera AG of November 20, 2007 to transfer
the shares of the Company’s minority shareholders to ACM
Projektentwicklung GmbH against a compensation in cash according to section
327a et seqq. of the Aktiengesetz (German Stock Corporation Act) (squeeze
out).

The Company has become aware of the contents of the corresponding
statements of claim by an examination of the files. Hitherto neither the
Company nor any of the persons representing the Company has received formal
service of process.

The Company deems all actions obviously unfounded and will immediately
prepare a petition for the issue of a clearance decision stating that the
bringing of the actions for avoidance does not bar the entry of the
resolution in the Register of Companies.
