Hamburg, 3 July 2008.

REpower Systems AG (WKN 617 703) has made its long-time logistics
partner Schaumann GmbH & Co KG an offer to purchase its vehicle fleet
and other operating assets as well as to acquire of all its
employees. By means of this acquisition, REpower intends to secure
important transport capacities for wind turbines and at the same time
contribute to maintaining the jobs of Schaumann?s more than 30
employees. In the medium term, REpower expects a competitive
advantage from integrating the logistics acquisition into its
business model due to increased flexibility with regard to shipments,
which will also contribute towards a reduction of costs. Both parties
have agreed to maintain confidentiality regarding the purchase price.

Originally, the owner-operated heavy-load carrier business was due to
shut down at the end of July. The planned transaction envisions the
transfer of the vehicle fleet, the other operating assets and the
carrier?s team of employees to a yet-to-be-established wholly owned
subsidiary of REpower Systems AG. For this purpose, the staff members
are to receive an offer to maintain their contracts within the new
company. Furthermore, REpower shall assume existing rental agreements
made by Schaumann.

Among other things, the agreement is subject to an expert evaluation
of the Schaumann vehicle fleet and is to be completed by the end of
August, at the latest.
