**)Proposal to Annual General Meeting

Rosenbauer further consolidated its leading market position in 2015.
The Group continued its growth and set new records for revenues and
earnings. The revenues of the Rosenbauer Group reached a record level
of EUR 865.4 million in the 2015 financial year (2014: EUR 813.8
million). This marks an increase of 6% as against the previous year.
The increase is due essentially to the good economic situation in
North America and the strong US dollar. However, Rosenbauer also
increased revenues in the Middle East, although some countries showed
more reluctance to invest because of the low price of oil.

At EUR 50.6 million, EBIT in the 2015 financial year was up 5% on the
previous year (2014: EUR 48.4 million), while the EBIT margin was
largely unchanged at 5.8%.

Even though consolidated earnings developed positively thanks to US
business, 2015 was also heavily affected by the expenses for
appearing at the world's biggest industry trade fair and higher
vehicle delivery costs. Earnings were also squeezed by fluctuations
in capacity utilization in some areas of production during the year,
delays in delivery at the end of the year and up- front costs for
tapping new markets. Measures were therefore taken in the reporting
period to accelerate ongoing market cultivation activities, to
enhance efficiency and to reduce costs.

Rosenbauer follows a growth-oriented and sustainable dividend policy
that is consistent with the company's performance. To mark the 150th
anniversary of the company, the Executive Board and the Supervisory
Board are proposing dividend of EUR 1.5 (2014: EUR 1.2) per share at
the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the distribution volume for
6.8 million no-par-value shares will be EUR 10.2 million (2014: EUR
8.2 million). Based on the closing price of EUR 66.6, this
corresponds to a dividend yield of 2.3% (2014: 1.7%).

Despite the somewhat modest growth prospects and even if political
unrest and the low price of oil affect procurement in some countries,
a stable development in overall demand is expected in the fire
equipment sector for 2016. Given the solid incoming orders in recent
months and the production capacity available, management is assuming
that consolidatedrevenues can increase further in 2016.

The forecast growth in sales and revenues is expected to have a
positive impact on earnings in 2016, even though the development of
Rosenbauer's key markets is becoming more difficult to forecast.
Thanks to the successful launch of new products, the high order
backlog and the growing effect of the measures introduced to enhance
efficiency and reduce costs, management is anticipating further
increase in revenues and earnings for the 2016 financial year.
