KTG Agrar decides to increase share capital by up to ten percent

- Equity to be boosted up to around EUR 100 million

- 'From the field to the plate' business model is unique in Europe

Hamburg, 5 February 2013. The Management Board of KTG Agrar AG (ISIN
DE000A0DN1J4), one of Europe's leading agricultural producers, decided on 5
February 2013 with the consent of the Supervisory Board of 5 February 2013,
to increase the company's share capital, which currently amounts to EUR
5,676,000 divided into 5,676,000 bearer shares with a nominal value of EUR
1, by up to EUR 567,600 to up to EUR 6,243,600 against cash.

The company plans to issue up to 567,600 bearer shares. Existing
shareholders' subscription rights have been excluded in accordance with
section 6 of the company's statutes. The up to 567,600 new ordinary shares
will be offered to institutional investors in Germany and Europe by way of
an accelerated bookbuilding process. Frankfurt-based DZ BANK AG will be
acting as Sole Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner on this transaction. The
new shares are supposed to be admitted to trading on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange (Entry Standard) without a prospectus.

This capital increase will once more strengthen the capital base,
underpinning KTG Agrar's continued growth strategy. 'Investments in
farmland and food production currently offer great opportunities. The
capital increase will boost our Group equity up to around EUR 100 million,
as a result of which we will be optimally positioned to make the most of
the opportunities presenting themselves,' says Siegfried Hofreiter, CEO of
KTG Agrar AG. The company currently farms more than 38,000 hectares of land
in Eastern Germany and Lithuania. The past two years have seen the KTG
Agrar Group push ahead the extension of its value chain from growing
organic and conventional produce to value-added processing of its own
produce and the delivery to consumers. Its strategy - from the field to the
plate from a single source - is unique in Europe.
