10 June 2008: at the Executive Board meeting of Schaltbau Holding AG held
today, the following resolutions were passed to adjust the earnings
forecast upwards and to change to the Prime Standard market segment.


Schaltbau Group revises forecast upwards for 2008

After the sharp improvement seen in the first quarter of 2008, which
surpassed both last year's figures and the company's own expectations by a
considerable margin, and the pleasing sales trend witnessed in April and
May, the Executive Board of Schaltbau Holding AG has resolved to adjust its
forecast upwards for the current fiscal year.

Accordingly the companies of the Group are predicted to receive firm orders
for €260 million instead of the previously announced figure of €255 million
(last year: €271.9 million). Sales revenues are forecast to grow to €263
million, thereby exceeding the originally expected €255 million (last year:
€232.1 million). The management predicts a corresponding further increase
in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to achieve a total of €17.7
million instead of the previously forecasted €15.5 million (last year:
€14.1 million) and growth in Group net profit for 2008 to €11.5 million.
The original prediction had been one of €9.7 million (last year: €8.2
million). This will boost the profit attributable to shareholders to €10.3
million, surpassing the planned €8.6 million (last year: €7.2 million).
Earnings per share should then be in the range of €5.50 to €5.70 compared
to the earlier forecast of €4.50 to €4.70 (last year: €3.85).



Schaltbau Holding AG Executive Board determines change to Prime Standard

Taking the current market capitalisation and the Group's continuing
strategic aspiration towards international orientation duly into account,
the management of Schaltbau Holding AG, domiciled in Munich (ISIN
DE0007170300), passed a resolution at today's Executive Board meeting to
change to the Prime Standard market segment of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange. The respective application for the new listing will be made to
the German Stock Exchange within the next few days.
