A total of 51,255 subscription rights (exersale) were conditionally
exercised within the framework of the 1999 share option plan at
HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG in the current exercise window for the 2nd to
4th tranches lasting from October 1 to October 7, 2009 in accordance
with the terms and conditions governing the share option plan. The
options in the first tranche may still be exercised until October 14,
2009. Starting on Friday, October 9, 2009, the orders received for
the 2nd to 4th tranches for the sale of the shares thereby created in
HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG will be placed on the stock exchange over a
period of five weeks, thus protecting the share price, by the bank
commissioned with the handling of the share option plan. Should it
not be possible to sell all of these shares in full within this
deadline, then the subscription rights will only be exercised on a
prorated basis.
