Goldman Sachs as Bookrunner and HypoVereinsbank as Co-Lead-Manager

existing core shareholders on a pro rata basis (Capital
Management-Partners, Goldman Sachs, HypoVereinsbank, HSH Nordbank and
Morgan Stanley). Bookbuilding will commence immediately. The offer
price of the shares will be determined after the books have closed.

The existing core shareholders will jointly retain 56% of the share
capital post the transaction. Nordex and the selling shareholders

a period of 6 months.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
