Ad hoc announcement pursuant to section 15 German securities trading act
(WpHG)

Hansa Group AG considers a capital increase up to 10 % of its authorised
capital under an exclusion of the preemptive rights of the shareholders

- possible capital increase up to 10 % of the share capital

- issue proceeds shall strengthen the equity base and financing structure

- backstop-investor secures potential capital increase up to EUR 10 Mio.

Genthin, 10 June 2013 - The management board of HANSA GROUP AG, a leading,
integrative supplier for Care Chemicals in Europe, today passed a
resolution with the consent of the supervisory board according to which the
company decided to consider a share capital increase from its authorised
capital under an exclusion of the preemptive rights of the shareholders
pursuant to sections 203 para. 1 sentence 1, art. 186 para. 3 sentence 4
German stock corporation act (AktG). The potential capital increase shall
serve to strengthen the equity base and financing structure of the company.
The potential capital increase shall be limited to 10 % of the share
capital and shall be placed in the context of an accelerated bookbuilding
procedure. Provided that the evaluation of the capital increase leads to a
positive outcome, the company shall seek a timely implementation of the
capital increase.

The company has already secured the potential capital increase due to the
fact that a so called backstop-investor obliged itself to acquire unplaced
shares on normal market terms and in accordance with the statutory
provisions of the company. The obligation shall be binding up to a maximum
volume of EUR 10 Mio.
