Ad-hoc notification in accordance with Section 15 WpHG [Securities Trading Act]: Analytik Jena AG Plans Capital Increase

Financing additional growth in light of continuing positive business trends

Jena, January 29, 2009 — Analytik Jena AG (ISIN DE 000 521 3508) is planning to place up to 395,000 shares from a capital increase. On January 28, 2009, the Analytik Jena AG Executive Board resolved to increase the company's share capital based on authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on March 21, 2007. The Supervisory Board gave its approval today. The capital increase will occur in accordance to the authorization resolution of the Annual General Meeting with shareholders' subscription rights disapplied. Analytik Jena mandated Bankhaus Neelmeyer to manage the transaction.

An issue amount of EUR 6.32 per share was determined. The new shares will be placed at bm-t beteiligungsmanagement thüringen gmbh, a company that already holds a sizable share package in Analytik Jena AG. By increasing its holdings, and thereby its commitment, the company ensures that the capital structure of Analytik Jena made up of both commercial and private investors remains robust. The proceeds from the capital increase will help to finance the company's further growth, particularly its activities in the Asian market and in the biotech industry.
