On February 22, 2005, LPKF Laser & Electronics AG, Hanover, and the
Managing Director and minority shareholder of its North American
subsidiary have agreed on essential contents concerning the takeover
of an additional 25% of the shares of LPKF Laser & Electronics Inc.,
Portland, Oregon, by the parent company. After the planned takeover,
LPKF AG would hold 85% of the shares of LPKF Laser & Electronics Inc.

The transaction will be executed as an exchange of shares. The
takeover will be compensated with a total of 225,000 LPKF shares.
50,000 of these shares will be taken from the parent company’s own
shareholdings. LPKF plans to generate the remaining 175,000 shares by
an increase in capital from currently Euro 10,647,895.00 to Euro
10,822,895.00 from the authorized capital under exclusion of
subscription rights of other shareholders. The capital increase would
amount to 1.64% of the current share capital.

The value of the shares to be transferred would currently amount to a
total of Euro 751,500.00 at a rate of Euro 3.34 per share. The
valuation of the shares to be transferred from LPKF Laser &
Electronics Inc. is to be certified by an expert opinion. The
transaction needs to be approved by the Supervisory Board. This
approval has not been granted yet.
	
With the increased shareholding in its North American distribution
company LPKF wants to strengthen its commitment in the important US
market.
