Ad-hoc-Announcement Capital Increase Shares from Capital Increase of Raiffeisen International Bank Holding-AG Successfully Placed Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vienna, 3 October 2007. Today Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding AG fixed the subscription and offer price for its new bearer shares at EUR 104.0 per share, on the basis of the subscription and purchase orders received and taking into account the current share price. The subscription and offer price is thus EUR 1.25 or 1.2 per cent below the closing price of Raiffeisen International shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange on 3 October 2007. The offer consisted of a rights offering as well as an offer of those new shares for which subscription rights were not exercised. Based on the strong demand, all 11,897,500 new shares offered were allocated. The total volume of the placement thus amounts to EUR 1,237.3 million. This transaction will increase the nominal share capital of Raiffeisen International by 8.3 per cent, from EUR 435,448,500.00 to EUR 471,735,875.00. Prior to the capital increase, Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG (RZB), the main shareholder of Raiffeisen International, held 70.0 per cent of the shares. RZB exercised a portion of its subscription rights indirectly through 'Cembra Beteiligungs GmbH', a 100 per cent subsidiary, which subscribed 5,948,750 shares. After the capital increase, the RZB Group will hold 68.5 per cent of the shares in Raiffeisen International. At the subscription and offer price existing shareholders (excluding RZB) exercised approximately 24.5 per cent of their subscription rights. The remaining shares were offered to retail and institutional investors in Austria, as well as to institutional investors worldwide through private placements. Excluding subscription orders the order book was approximately two times subscribed at the subscription and offer price. The capital increase attracted great interest among Austrian and international investors. As a consequence of the capital increase, the free float will increase from 30.0 per cent to approximately 31.5 per cent. The first trading day for the new shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange is expected to be 5 October 2007. Closing of the transaction is expected to take place on 9 October 2007. The new shares carry full dividend rights from and including the fiscal year 2007.
