  - Aragon management resolves capital increase from authorised capital

  - Fresh capital facilitates consistent implementation of the company's
    buy-and-build strategy

The Management Board of Aragon Aktiengesellschaft, with the consent of the
Supervisory Board, has resolved to utilise a portion of the existing
authorised capital to implement a capital increase with subscription rights
for current shareholders.

The company's share capital is to be increased in return for cash
contributions from currently EUR 6,200,000.00 by up to EUR 1,033,316.00 to
up to EUR 7,233,316.00 through the issue of up to 1,033,316 new bearer
ordinary shares (no-par shares) representing a notional portion of the
share capital of EUR 1.00 per share.

Shareholders will be granted indirect subscription rights. biw Bank für
Investments und Wertpapiere AG, Willich, has undertaken to offer the new
shares to shareholders for subscription within a subscription period of two
weeks from announcement of the offer in a ratio of 6:1 for an issue price
of EUR 8.00 per new share and to underwrite the new shares in the volume
subscribed by shareholders with subscription rights. This means that
shareholders may subscribe one 'new' share for six 'old' shares. The
subscription period runs from 15 June 2009 to 29 June 2009. The offer to
shareholders to subscribe to new shares will be published on 12 June 2009.

Subscription rights may not be traded. There will be no compensation for
any subscription rights that are not exercised. The new shares have full
entitlement to dividend payments from 1 January 2009.

The Management Board is confident that the majority of current shareholders
will exercise their subscription rights. Any unsubscribed shares will be
placed with institutional investors by means of a rump placement carried
out by lead manager Silvia Quandt & Cie. AG.

The new funds are aimed at strengthening the company's capital base as well
as for use in connection with possible acquisitions as part of Aragon's
consistently implemented buy-and-build strategy.
