Disclosure of an inside information according to Article 17 MAR

Further milestone reached on Strategic Way Forward:
thyssenkrupp sells Brazilian steel mill CSA to Ternium

The industrial and technology group thyssenkrupp has taken another big step
on its Strategic Way Forward. The company has reached agreement with
Ternium on the sale of the CSA Siderúrgica do Atlântico (CSA) steel
plant in Brazil. The purchase price (enterprise value) is EUR1.5 billion.

With the closing of the transaction thyssenkrupp will receive a clear cash
inflow which will significantly reduce the Group's net financial debt.
Although a writedown of around EUR0.9 billion on CSA will be necessary with
the signing, the Group's gearing, i.e. the ratio of net financial debt to
equity, will improve on completion of the transaction. The sale is subject
to the approval of the competition authorities. The two parties aim to
close the transaction by September 30, 2017.

The sale of CSA will take economic effect retrospectively at September 30,
2016. Until the closing of the transaction thyssenkrupp's Steel Americas
business area will be reported as a discontinued operation.

The sale will have corresponding effects on the Group's net income. Beyond
this thyssenkrupp does not expect the transaction to have any impact on the
adjusted EBIT and free cash flow before M&A targets of its continuing
operations for the current fiscal year 2016/2017.
