Explanation of agenda items on which no vote will be held

There will be no voting on item 1 on the agenda:

On 12°March°2010, the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements prepared by the Board of Management were approved by the Supervisory Board in accordance with sections 172 and 173 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and the annual financial statements were thereby formally adopted. Formal adoption by the Annual General Meeting is therefore not required, i.e. AKtG does not require the adoption of a resolution in this regard, but the annual financial statements and management report, consolidated financial statements and group management report, report of the Supervisory Board and the report of the Board of Management must be made available to the Annual General Meeting. There will be no vote on the appropriation of profits since the adopted annual accounts of DEUTZ AG show no accumulated income and no profit brought forward.

The annual financial statements and management report, the consolidated financial statements and group management report, the report by the Supervisory Board and the report by the Board of Management will be available for inspection at the offices of DEUTZ AG, Ottostrasse 1, 51149 Cologne (Porz-Eil), and can also be accessed on the DEUTZ AG website at www.annualreport2009.deutz.com the date on which the Annual General Meeting is convened.
