Was sagen die Experten zum Chart von Mittal Steel? Aufwärtstrend gebrochen oder noch intakt?
wie man sieht, war er wohl nicht mehr so ganz intakt . . . aber abgesehen von den Rückschlägen, ist das Unternehmen immer noch eine solide Investition mit mittel- bis langfristigem Kurspotential
Hier ist eine Präsentation über den Erwerb und die Ziele der letzten Acquisition in der Ukraine. Das macht keinen schlechten Eindruck:

Heute ist in der Focus Money eine Analyse der Aktie.
Bei 5% Wachstum hat die Aktie ein 50% Kurspotential und bei 12% Wachstum sogar fast 200%. Nach unten scheint die Aktie auch eine recht breite Unterstützung zu haben. Und bei enem KGV von 6 sollte die Aktie dch reichlich Potentil haben.
Also einsteigen?
Wisst Ihr, wie es mit der Dividendenpolitik aussieht?
Das einzige, was mich stört, das das Unternehmen zu 88% in Familienbesitz ist. Wenn die mal anfangen ein paar Aktien zu schmeißen geht der Kurs in den Keller.

[posting]19.368.507 von WolfGo am 21.12.05 16:32:18[/posting]Dividendenpolitik bei Mittal ist vorsichtig. Aus einer der Präsentationen auf der HomePage geht hervor: 0,10 USCent/Quartal sind vorläufig geplant. Der Hauptteil des Gewinns geht in das Wachstum, also die Acquise weiterer Firmen und Bau neuer Anlagen (Ukraine, USA, Rumänien, Indien, usw.)

Mittal Steel Announces Change to its Shareholding in Hunan Valin Steel Tube & Wire
ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, January 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mittal Steel Company (Nachrichten) today announces that its shareholding in Hunan Valin Steel Tube&Wire Company Limited ("Hunan Valin") has been diluted to 29.49%.
Mittal Steel completed the acquisition of a 36.67% stake in Hunan Valin on 28 September 2005, for a total consideration of US$338 million. Hunan Valin is one of China`s largest steelmakers with annual steel production capacity of 8.5 million tons.
As a result of publicly held outstanding convertible bonds being converted into shares the shareholding of both Mittal Steel and Valin Group have been diluted to 29.49% and 30.29% respectively, as on 20 January 2006. The remaining shares are traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Additionally, from May 2005 onwards, all companies listed in China have been required to undertake the `share segmentation reform`, meaning that all non-listed shares are converted into listed and fully tradable shares. Currently, both Mittal Steel and Valin Group hold non-listed shares in Hunan Valin. As part of this reform, the holders of non-listed shares are required to submit a compensation proposal to the public shareholders. As such, a plan, based on discussions with representatives of Hunan Valin`s major public shareholders, was finalized in December 2005 whereby Mittal Steel and Valin Group will issue two year put warrants to all holders of listed shares who were to register on or before 20 January. A shareholders` meeting of Hunan Valin is set for 9 February 2006 in order to approve the plan, which will then be submitted to the PRC government authorities for approval. Mittal Steel and Valin Group will issue 7.19206 warrants for every 10 shares held by the minority shareholders. The warrants will be listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange subject to completing other required procedures. If all the put warrants were to be exercised Mittal Steel and Valin Group`s shareholding would increase to 43.7% and 44.9% respectively.
About Mittal Steel
Mittal Steel is the world`s largest and most global steel company. The company has operations in sixteen countries, on four continents. Mittal Steel encompasses all aspects of modern steelmaking, to produce a comprehensive portfolio of both flat and long steel products to meet a wide range of customer needs.

million ton plus steel producer. The offer values each Arcelor share at €28.21 which
represents a 27% premium over the closing price and all time high on Euronext Paris
of Arcelor shares on 26 January 2006, a 31% premium over the volume weighted
average price in the preceding month, and a 55% premium over the volume weighted
average share price in the preceding 12 months.
This offer values Arcelor at an equity value of €18.6 billion on a fully diluted basis.
The new company will have:
– Unprecedented scale, scope and synergies
– Pro-forma* 2005 annual revenues of approximately US$69bn and EBITDA of
US$12.6bn (*IBES estimates)
– Pro-forma market capitalisation of approximately US$40 billion
– Leading positions in NAFTA, EU, Central Europe, Africa and South America
– Expected synergies of US$1 billion from purchasing, marketing and
manufacturing efficiencies

sufficiency
– Reduced volatility through geographic and product diversification
Page 2 of 11
– Security of long-term contracts through high value-added products
– Low cost profile and high growth prospects from developing markets
– Leading position across a range of key product segments
– Ability to supply customers on a global basis
– A dividend policy representing c. 25% of earnings over the cycle
Under the terms of the offer, Arcelor shareholders will receive 4 Mittal Steel shares
and €35.25 cash for every 5 Arcelor shares (equivalent to 0.8 Mittal Steel shares plus
€7.05 cash for each Arcelor share). In addition, they will have the right to receive a

of Dofasco Inc (“Dofasco”) that Arcelor purchases in its pending tender offer for
Dofasco or later, at a price equal to the Euro equivalent of C$ 68.00 per share,
adjusted based on changes in net financial debt and net working capital from the
date of acquisition of Dofasco by Arcelor and the date of resale to ThyssenKrupp.
Mr Lakshmi N. Mittal, Chairman and CEO of Mittal Steel said:
“The last ten years have seen a major shift towards consolidation of the steel
industry, helping to create sustainable value for all stakeholders. Both Mittal Steel
and Arcelor have been at the forefront of this consolidation and share a similar
vision for the future of our industry. This combination accelerates this process and
leaves us uniquely positioned to benefit from the opportunities created.”
“We believe the offer provides a very attractive premium and has been structured
so that Arcelor shareholders have the opportunity to participate in the exciting
growth potential of the combined company, whilst also receiving a generous cash
element. We would encourage them to consider the merits of our compelling offer
and play a part in the future of the world’s only global steel company.”
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE OFFER
The offer values each Arcelor share at €28.21 which represents a 27% premium over
the closing price of Arcelor shares on Euronext Paris as of 26 January 2006, a 31%
premium over the volume weighted average price in the preceding month, and a 55%
premium over the volume weighted average share price in the preceding 12 months.
Mittal Steel is offering to acquire all of the outstanding Arcelor shares through three
offers:
- a primary mixed cash and exchange offer for Arcelor shares consisting of 4 new
Mittal Steel shares and €35.25 in cash for every 5 Arcelor shares;
Page 3 of 11
- a secondary cash offer consisting of €28.21 per each Arcelor share
- a secondary exchange offer consisting of 16 new Mittal Steel shares for every 15
Arcelor shares.
Arcelor shareholders may tender their shares in either the primary offer or either or

comprise 75% in Mittal Steel shares and 25% in cash.
Mittal Steel is also offering to acquire Arcelor Convertible Bonds (OCEANEs 2017)
based on the following exchange ratio: 4 new Mittal Steel shares and €40 in cash for
every five Arcelor Convertible Bonds.
The offer is conditioned on the tendering of more than 50% of Arcelor’s share capital
and voting rights on a fully diluted basis, the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of
Mittal Steel having approved the issuance of new Mittal Steel shares to Arcelor
shareholders (the Mittal family having undertaken to vote in favour of the issuance of
such new Mittal Steel shares) and the absence of events or actions that would alter
Arcelor’s substance.
The draft offer document will be filed with the Luxembourg Commission de
Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the “CSSF”). In order to coordinate the process in
the various jurisdictions in which Arcelor securities are listed, the offer will also be
filed with the competent authorities in other countries, including in Spain and
Belgium. A draft share offering prospectus will be filed with the Dutch AFM and with
the French AMF. A registration statement will also be filed with the US SEC.
In addition, this transaction will be reviewed by antitrust authorities in the EU, the
US and possibly other jurisdictions around the world.

Mammutfusion auf dem internationalen Stahlmarkt
(Zusammenfassung)
LONDON/DÜSSELDORF (Dow Jones)--Auf dem internationalen Stahlmarkt bahnt sich eine weitere Mammutfusion an. Weltmarktführer Mittal Steel kündigte am Freitag überraschend an, den Branchenzweiten Arcelor übernehmen zu wollen. Damit entstünde ein neuer Gigant beispiellosen Ausmaßes. In Zusammenhang mit dem Milliardengeschäft kann ThyssenKrupp doch noch beim kanadischen Stahlhersteller Dofasco zum Zuge kommen. Nachdem sich zuletzt Arcelor in einem Bieterwettkampf durchgesetzt hatte, will nun Mittal die Dofasco an den Ruhrkonzern weiterverkaufen.
Die vor wenigen Jahren von dem Inder Lakshmi Mittal gegründete Mittal Steel mit Sitz in den Niederlanden will 28,21 EUR pro Aktie für Arcelor bieten. Damit werde der multinationale Rivale, der vor gut vier Jahren aus dem Zusammenschluss der luxemburgischen Arbed mit Arceralia aus Spanien und der französischen Usinor hervorgegangen ist, mit 18,6 Mrd EUR bewertet.
Das fusionierte Unternehmen hätte im vergangenen Jahr einen gemeinsamen Umsatz von 69 Mrd und ein operatives Ergebnis von 12,6 Mrd USD erzielt. Mittal erhofft sich durch den Zusammenschluss Synergien von einer Mrd USD. Zuletzt hatte sein Konzern im Oktober 2005 die ukrainische Krivorozhstal übernommen.
In der Weltrangliste von 2004 liegt Mittal mit einer Jahresproduktion von 66 Mio Tonnen Stahl vor Arcelor mit 53 Mio Tonnen. Auf den Plätzen drei und vier folgen mit deutlichem Abstand die japanischen Hersteller Nippon Steel und JFE. Letztere entstand vor gut drei Jahren aus einer Zweierfusion. ThyssenKrupp rangierte mit einer Gesamtstahlerzeugung knapp 18 Mio Tonnen auf dem zehnten Rang.
Nun hat der DAX-Konzern die Chance, deutlich vorzurücken. Denn Mittal will den größten kananischer Stahlproduzenten Dofasco an ihn weiterreichen. ThyssenKrupp kann alle Aktien für 68 CAD erwerben - das ist der Preis, bei dem das Unternehmen vor wenigen Tagen aus dem Übernahmekampf mit Arcelor ausgestiegen war, die mehr auf den Tisch gelegt hatte.
Der Thyssen-Vorstandsvorsitzende Ekkehard Schulz sagte auf der Hauptversammlung in Bochum, Lakshmi Mittal sei am Dienstag an ihn herangetreten, nachdem er öffentlich den Verzicht auf Dofasco erklärt habe. Die Ankündigung, dass es nun doch noch klappt, wurde von den Aktionären mit großem Beifall aufgenommen. Auch an der Börse kamen die Nachrichten offenbar gut an. Der Kurs der Thyssen-Aktie stieg bis Mittag um 7,4%, und auch das Papier von Salzgitter, dem Branchenzweiten in Deutschland, legte kräftig zu. An der Pariser Börse schoss der Preis für die Anteilscheine von Arcelor, die zuvor ebenso wie die Mittal-Titel vom Handel ausgesetzt worden waren, um 39% in die Höhe.
Von Analystenseite hieß es in ersten Reaktionen, nun dürfte der Konsolidierungsdruck in der Branche weiter steigen. "Die anderen Stahlhersteller müssten sich überlegen, wie sie sich jetzt gegen den neuen Riesen positionieren", sagte Thomas Hofmann von der Landesbank Rheinland-Pfalz. Nachteilig für die Konkurrenten könne sein, dass das fusionierte Unternehmen bei der Beschaffung von Rohstoffen günstigere Konditionen aushandeln könne.

Mittal Canada completes acquisition
of three Stelco subsidiaries
February 1, 2006 - Contrecœur - Mittal Canada Inc., a Canadian subsidiary of Mittal
Steel Company N.V., the world’s leader in the steel industry, completes the
acquisition of three Stelco Inc. subsidiaries.
The Norambar Inc. and Stelfil Ltée plants located in Quebec and the Stelwire Ltd.
plant in Ontario were acquired at a cost of C$30 million. Mittal Canada has also
assumed C$28 million in debt.
The Norambar plant will complement Mittal Canada’s facilities in Contrecœur and
Longueuil, boosting Mittal Canada’s capacity by 625,000 tons of billets and 435,000
tons of bars and thereby strengthening its position as a major steel producer in
Canada. Stelfil and Stelwire will add 250,000 tons of steel wire to the Company’s
annual production capacity, providing a wider product mix to better meet our
customers’ needs.
Good news for partners
“I am delighted with the positive outcome of this transaction after over a year of
negotiations,” said Richard Leblanc, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mittal
Canada Inc. “It is consistent with the Company’s management philosophy of seizing
favourable business opportunities. Also, synergies resulting from the integration of
these three plants will further optimize our long-term viability and competitiveness,
which in turn will clearly benefit our employees and communities.”
Based in Quebec, Mittal Canada has an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons
of steel. The Company manufactures a wide range of high quality flat and long steel
products, sold mainly in Canada and the USA to the automotive, engineering and
other industries. It is a subsidiary of Mittal Steel, the world’s largest and only truly
global steelmaker.
About Mittal Steel
Mittal Steel Company is the world’s largest and most global steel company. The
company has operations in fourteen countries, on four continents. Mittal Steel
encompasses all aspects of modern steelmaking, to produce a comprehensive
portfolio of both flat and long steel products to meet a wide range of customer
needs. It serves all the major steel consuming sectors, including automotive,
appliance, machinery and construction.
For 2004, Mittal Steel had revenues of US$22.2 billion and steel shipments of 42.1
million tons. The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange and the Euronext
Amsterdam under the ticker symbol “MT”.

Zweierlei Maß
Wenn jemand in einer Sache mit
zweierlei Maß mißt, gilt er gemeinhin
entweder als wenig intelligent
oder aber als jemand, dem man im
Zweifel nicht vertrauen sollte. In der
Übernahmediskussion um den luxemburgischen
Stahlriesen Arcelor lassen
sich derzeit wohl beide Typen studieren.
Das Unternehmen wehrt sich mit
Händen und Füßen gegen eine Übernahme
durch die indische Mittal Steel,
dem Zweiten auf dem Weltmarkt.
18,6 MILLIARDEN EURO will Mittal für Arcelor
ausgeben, ein stolzer Preis. Dennoch – einige
größere Aktionäre sind strikt dagegen. Es scheint
aber kein Zufall, dass diese Aktionäre Staaten
sind und Politiker die Vertreter. Als Argumente
fallen diesen zuerst auch keine wirtschaftlichen
ein. Kaum verhohlen führt der luxemburgische
Ministerpräsident Juncker die Herkunft des
Bieters an: Arcelor sei ein europäisch geprägtes
Unternehmen, der Bewerber aus Indien biete
da kein „europäisches industrielles Konzept“.
Selbst wenn man davon ausgehen würde, dass
Politiker ein industrielles Konzept erkennen
könnten, wenn es vor ihnen stünde, stellt sich
immer noch die Frage, ob sie denn qualifiziert
sind, es zu beurteilen. Schließlich sind die Beispiele
solch „europäischer“ Konzepte jüngster
Vergangenheit, wo Staaten bei Unternehmen
eingegriffen haben und Unheil anrichteten, Legion.
Vorgeblich geht es den Vertretern Luxemburgs,
Frankreichs und Spaniens um soziale
Komponenten und Ähnliches. Dahinter aber
stehen Wählerstimmen, die man mit staatlichen
Wohltaten bekommt und leider auch mit latent
fremdenfeindlicher Stimmungsmache. Was am
Ende dabei herauskommen kann, konnte man
in Deutschland an der politikergesteuerten „Rettung“
der Philipp Holzmann AG sehen. Auch bei
Bremer Vulkan führte staatliche Industriepolitik
geradewegs ins Nirwana und die Diskussionen
um VW sind aktuell und aufschlußreich.
Die Abwehr des Industriegiganten aus Indien
findet statt, obwohl dieser verspricht, keine Arbeitsplätze
abzubauen – was man nicht glauben
muß, aber vertraglich ausgestalten könnte. Der
wirtschaftlichen Vernunft entspräche es aber
ohnehin, ist doch Arcelor technisch voraus und
effizient. Arbeitsplatzverluste drohen eher den
weltweit zahlreichen Mittal-Standorten, die ihre
Modernisierung noch vor sich haben. Dass der
neue Konzern aus Luxemburg geführt werden
soll, ist ein beträchtliches Zugeständnis des Inders
Lakhschmi Mittal. Am Ende also dürfte die
Argumentation der heimatverbundenen Politiker
auf sie selbst zurückfallen. Zu offensichtlich
ist es, dass zum Beispiel im Fall der Übernahme
von Dofasco keine solchen Argumente gebraucht
wurden. Oder ist ein kanadischer Stahlhersteller
irgendwie auch europäisch? In Kanada ist
niemand auf die Idee gekommen, die Bieter
vom anderen Kontinent despektierlich zu behandeln.
Und die Tatsache, dass Frankreich gern
mal die Entstehung eines heimatlichen Champions
kräftig und am Rande jeder europäischen
Legalität unterstützt, wird von den Beteiligten
sicher aufmerksam registriert werden, wenn es
darum geht, heuchlerische Argumente als das
zu entlarven, was sie sind. Klugerweise hat sich
die, ebenfalls bei Arcelor engagierte, belgische
Region Wallonie deutlich bei der allgemeinen
patriotischen Empörung zurückgehalten. Dort
scheint sich die Ansicht herauszubilden, dass
ein starkes Unternehmen auch den heimischen
Arbeitskräften eher etwas zu bieten hat als lautsprecherische
Politiker, die am Ende verdutzt in
den Tag blinzeln, wenn sie erkennen müssen,
dass wirtschaftliche Realitäten durchsetzungsfähiger
sind als populistisches Geschwafel. Indisches
Geld sollte uns willkommen sein. Wir
werden solche Investoren brauchen – auch um
unsere ja so gern hochgehaltenen europäischen
Wohltaten morgen noch bezahlen zu können.

Presse: Mittal will Arcelor-Übernahme im zweiten Quartal abschließen
Der weltgrößte Stahlkonzern Mittal Steel Company N.V. (ISIN NL0000361947/ WKN A0F41U) will die geplante Übernahme der in Luxemburg ansässigen Arcelor S.A. (ISIN LU0140205948/ WKN 529385) im zweiten Quartal abschließen. Dies berichten mehrere belgische Zeitungen am Mittwoch.
Wie der CEO Lakshmi Mittal u.a. der "La Libre Belgique" mitteilte, hofft sein Konzern, die Akquisition des weltweit zweitgrößten Stahlerzeugers noch deutlich vor Ende des zweiten Quartals zum Abschluss bringen zu können. Man warte jedoch noch auf eine Einladung zur Aufnahme von Verhandlungen bezüglich des vorgelegten Angebots. Zudem sehe Mittal derzeit keinen Grund, seine Offerte zu erhöhen.
Wie Mittal Steel am 30. Januar erklärte, bietet man den Aktionären von Arcelor für jeweils fünf eigene Aktien insgesamt vier Anteilsscheine von Mittal Steel plus einer Prämie von 35,25 Euro in bar. Das Gesamtvolumen der Übernahmeofferte liegt bei 18,6 Mrd. Euro. Durch den Zusammenschluss von Mittal Steel und Arcelor würde ein Stahlkonzern mit einer Jahreskapazität von mehr als 100 Millionen Tonnen entstehen.
Die Aktie von Mittal Steel verliert in Amsterdam aktuell 2,53 Prozent auf 28,85 Euro, die von Arcelor in Paris 1,32 Prozent auf 29,92 Euro.

Mittal Steel Company Combination with Arcelor will
create a unique European industry leader
20th April 2006 - A combination between Mittal Steel and Arcelor will provide a rare
opportunity for a European company to be an undisputed global industry leader, Lakshmi
Mittal, Chairman and CEO said today.
Speaking on a visit to Gandrange in France, Mr Mittal said, “Europe is steeped in industrial
tradition and yet today few European industrial companies are global sector leaders. This
transaction will change that. A European company will be the undisputed number one in the
steel business. I believe this creates a business platform from which Europe can only stand to
benefit.”
Mr Mittal said that he understood the concerns the governments had raised initially about
Mittal Steel’s offer, but that he was confident this position has changed. “I fully understand
the affiliation governments have had historically with their steel industries,” he said. “We
have been in a process of dialogue with all the leading governments and have shared with
them our very thorough industrial plan. I have sought to explain to them that this deal does
not take away anything from Europe. We are not planning to cut jobs. We are not planning
to shift or reduce investment.”
He proceeded to highlight the positive response the offer has attracted from the financial
markets. “Both the share prices of Mittal Steel and Arcelor have risen considerably, clear
recognition by the markets that this deal creates significant value. The Arcelor share-price
has risen 50% in just twelve weeks since our offer was announced. The question Arcelor
shareholders will be asking themselves is – where does that value go without Mittal?”
Mr Mittal then addressed a number of the myths he said were circulating about Mittal Steel.
“I feel obliged to comment on these because they are disingenuous and misleading to
stakeholders who deserve to be in possession of the full facts. It is natural that change should
prompt concerns as people are forced to confront the unknown. But it is wrong when people
who should know better play upon such fears through use of disinformation.”
He concluded by saying that a combination of Mittal and Arcelor would create the steel
company of the future. “In ten years time the industry leader will be producing around 150 –
200 million tons per annum and will have a footprint in both the high-quality and the highgrowth
markets. It is this very company that a combination of Mittal and Arcelor will create.
Not in ten years, but today.”

create a unique European industry leader
20th April 2006 - A combination between Mittal Steel and Arcelor will provide a rare
opportunity for a European company to be an undisputed global industry leader, Lakshmi
Mittal, Chairman and CEO said today.
Speaking on a visit to Gandrange in France, Mr Mittal said, “Europe is steeped in industrial
tradition and yet today few European industrial companies are global sector leaders. This
transaction will change that. A European company will be the undisputed number one in the
steel business. I believe this creates a business platform from which Europe can only stand to
benefit.”
Mr Mittal said that he understood the concerns the governments had raised initially about
Mittal Steel’s offer, but that he was confident this position has changed. “I fully understand
the affiliation governments have had historically with their steel industries,” he said. “We
have been in a process of dialogue with all the leading governments and have shared with
them our very thorough industrial plan. I have sought to explain to them that this deal does
not take away anything from Europe. We are not planning to cut jobs. We are not planning
to shift or reduce investment.”
He proceeded to highlight the positive response the offer has attracted from the financial
markets. “Both the share prices of Mittal Steel and Arcelor have risen considerably, clear
recognition by the markets that this deal creates significant value. The Arcelor share-price
has risen 50% in just twelve weeks since our offer was announced. The question Arcelor
shareholders will be asking themselves is – where does that value go without Mittal?”
Mr Mittal then addressed a number of the myths he said were circulating about Mittal Steel.
“I feel obliged to comment on these because they are disingenuous and misleading to
stakeholders who deserve to be in possession of the full facts. It is natural that change should
prompt concerns as people are forced to confront the unknown. But it is wrong when people
who should know better play upon such fears through use of disinformation.”
He concluded by saying that a combination of Mittal and Arcelor would create the steel
company of the future. “In ten years time the industry leader will be producing around 150 –
200 million tons per annum and will have a footprint in both the high-quality and the highgrowth
markets. It is this very company that a combination of Mittal and Arcelor will create.
Not in ten years, but today.”
