---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today KfW Bankengruppe has transferred its shares in a volume of about
90.8% of IKBs nominal share capital to the US-American financial investor
Lone Star and thereby fulfilled the share purchase agreement signed in
Au-gust 2008. Hence, Lone Star (LSF6 Europe Financial Holdings L.P.) is the
new major shareholder of IKB AG.
Lone Star informed IKB that the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority
(Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) has exempted Lone Star of
the duty to submit a mandatory bid according to the German Securities
Acquisition and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz) due
to the fact that Lone Star acquired the shares in connection with the
recapitalisation of the Company. According to its statement Lone Star
intends to make use of the exemption.
