With the agreement of the Supervisory Board, the Board of
Management of Austrian Airlines Österreichische
Luftverkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft has resolved to implement a capital
increase with the issue of up to 51,680,000 new shares at a
maximum offer price of EUR 8.12 per share. The Austrian Financial
Market Authority (FMA) has approved the prospectus for the public
offer of Austrian Airlines on 15 November 2006. The new shares are
issued subject to protection of the legal subscription right
of shareholders in Austrian Airlines Österreichische
Luftverkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft.

The result forecast for the full year 2006, that the adjusted EBIT
will improve compared to the previous year, remains valid. The EUR
87 million cost of the necessary restructuring of long-haul that
is not included in the adjusted EBIT, some EUR 16 million of which
is already set as reserves in the balance sheet, is to be charged
against the unadjusted EBIT in the account balance to
approximately EUR 71 million. As a result the unadjusted
EBIT will be significantly negative.
