In the time period from July 21, 2008 until and including July 22, 2008 a number of 1,699,169 shares have been bought back within the framework of the share buyback program of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft. With these transactions the buyback of the second tranche of own shares has been completed on July 22, 2008. The buyback of the second tranche had been announced according to art. 4 para. 2 of the Regulation (EC) no. 2273/2003 on June 6, 2008 and began on June 9, 2008; own shares of the Company having a value of up to EUR 2 billion (excluding incidental transaction charges) were intended be repurchased within this second tranche in the time period from June 9, 2008 until July 23, 2008 at the latest subject to market conditions, after the Company has already bought back a first tranche of 24,854,541 shares in the time period from January 28, 2008 until April 8, 2008 for a total price of approximately EUR 2 billion (excluding incidental transaction charges).
The total number of own shares that has been repurchased as the second tranche between June 9, 2008 and July 22, 2008 amounts to 27,916,664. This corresponds to 3.05% of the share capital as of the date of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft on January 24, 2008. The purchase price was in average EUR 71.61 per share; the total consideration that has been paid for the shares of the second tranche amounts to EUR 1,999,225,885.57 (excluding incidental transaction charges). Therefore a total number of 52,771,205 shares having a value of approximately EUR 4 billion (excluding incidental transaction charges) have been bought back within the framework of the share buyback program since January 28, 2008.
The purchase of the shares of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft was carried out by a bank that has been commissioned by Siemens Aktiengesellschaft; the shares were repurchased exclusively on the electronic trading platform of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Xetra).
