Bornheim bei Landau, June 5, 2008.

A total of 26,057 subscription rights (exersale) were conditionally
exercised within the framework of the 1999 share option plan at
HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG in the latest exercise window lasting from May
28 to June 3, 2008 in accordance with the terms and conditions
governing the share option plan. Starting on Thursday, June 5, 2008,
the orders for the sale of the new shares thereby created in
HORNBACH-Baumarkt-AG will be placed on the stock exchange over a
period of five weeks, thus protecting the share price, by the bank
commissioned with the handling of the share option plan. Should it
not be possible to sell all of these shares in full within this
deadline, then the subscription rights will only be exercised on a
prorated basis. In view of their differing dividend entitlement, the
new shares will be traded under a separate ISIN (DE000A0SFQY5)
through the date of the Annual General Meeting on July 10, 2008.
