SAF-HOLLAND S.A.: Capital increase of up to 4,123,737 new shares
successfully completed

Luxemburg, 30 November 2012 - SDAX-listed SAF-HOLLAND S.A. (ISIN:
LU0307018795) today successfully placed 4,123,737 new ordinary bearer
shares against cash contribution corresponding to approximately 10% of the
company's previous share capital, among institutional investors (outside
the U.S., Canada, Japan and Australia) via an accelerated bookbuilt
offering under exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights. Following
the capital increase, company's share capital amounts to EUR 453,611.12
divided into 45,361,112 ordinary bearer shares with a nominal value of 0.01
EUR. The new shares carry dividend entitlement as from January 1, 2012.
 
The new shares were issued at an offer price of EUR 5.25 per share. Demand
for new shares greatly exceeded supply. The gross proceeds from the
emission of EUR 21,6 million after deduction of transaction costs are to be
used to finance further growth and to realize potential strategic options.

COMMERZBANK Aktiengesellschaft acted as Sole Bookrunner on the transaction.


The company has applied for the admission without prospectus to trading on
the Regulated Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with simultaneous
admission to the Prime Standard. It is intended that the new shares will be
included in the existing quotation on 4 December, 2012.
