With effect of November 19, 2014, SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG,
Unterneukirchen (Germany), ISIN DE000SKWM021, is selling 100% of the shares
of SKW Metallurgy Sweden AB to the AlzChem Group. The sold company produces
and trades calcium carbide for the European market. Secrecy was agreed re
the purchase price.

The effects of the transaction onto the Group profit and loss statement of
the SKW Metallurgie Group are minimal:

* In the financial statements as of September 30, 2014, SKW Metallurgy
Sweden AB is no longer included in the profit and loss statement (accounted
for as a "discontinued operation" in the sense of IFRS 5).
* The expected deconsolidation effects are negligibly minor.

The sale is one measure of the announced new strategy of the SKW
Metallurgie Group, which entails inter alia a discontinuation of fostering
backward integration.
