The CEO of Pongs & Zahn Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin, has made a
decision today to launch a share buy-back of up to 500.000 shares
(8.3% of the current share capital) until June 30th, 2007. The share
buy-back will be executed in several tranches in accordance with the
regulations of Article 8 of the Dircetive 2003/6/EG (Regulation EG
2273/2003). The decision about the number of the shares to be
purchased per day will be made according to the daily market
situation on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange/XETRA, where the deals will
be closed.

The CEO makes use of the decision of the annual general meeting of
August 18th, 2006 which gave the authorisation to buy back shares of
the company until February 17th, 2008 in accordance with § 71 para. 1
no. 8 AktG (code for public limited companies); up to 10% of own
shares of the current share capital can be bought back accordingly.
The price per share may not exceed or fall below 5% of the opening
price at the stock exchange on the five trading days before entering
into the commitment to buy back shares. The opening price is
determined by the opening auction in the XETRA trading system on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It is planned to use the bought back shares
for the acquisition of a company.

The company will inform about the progress of the share buy-back on
its website www.pogsundzahn.de.
