Munich, 24 May 2007 – SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG (ISIN: DE0007568578) (the 'Company') and the selling shareholders, together with Citigroup Global Markets Limited, London, as Sole Global Coordinator, Sole Bookrunner and Joint Lead Manager and Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie. Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien, Cologne, as Joint Lead Manager, have set the offer price at € 37 per share. A total of 2,395,275 shares were placed under the purchase offer. Of these shares, a total of 1,317,990 shares stem from the capital increase from authorised capital in exchange for cash contributions resolved upon by the Company’s management board with the approval of its supervisory board on May 10 and 23, 2007, 726,073 shares from the holdings of the selling shareholders and additional 351,212 shares from the holdings of the selling shareholders made available for potential over-allotments. As a result, the offer volume amounts to around € 89. The Company expects to generate gross proceeds from the 1,317,990 shares out of the capital increase in the amount of around € 49. The free float of the Company’s shares will amount to approximately 29% (approximately 34% assuming the greenshoe option is fully exercised).

Trading in the shares offered under the purchase offer is expected to begin on May 25, 2007 on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard).
The subscription price for up to 1,615,927 new shares offered to shareholders of the Company in the ongoing subscription offer, of which up to 1,317,990 new shares were included in the purchase offer, was also set at € 37 and therefore equals the offer price fixed for the purchase offer.
