---------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to press reports, Russia's President Wladimir Putin and the
Gazprom Group's CEO Alexey Miller announced yesterday in Ankara that the
South Stream project will not be continued.

Contractual partner of Europipe GmbH, in which Salzgitter AG holds a 50 %
stake, is Netherlands-based South Stream Transport B.V., a company in which
other partners from EU countries are invested, alongside Gazprom. South
Stream Transport B.V. has not yet made a binding statement on the future of
the project.

We assume that a major part of the possible economic loss accruing to
Salzgitter AG from the discontinuation of the project would be covered by
the Euler Hermes credit insurance.
