ZF Friedrichshafen AG
25 July 2011

Recommended £444.8 million cash offer

The boards of ZF Friedrichshafen AG ("ZF") and Hansen Transmissions International NV ("Hansen") are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by ZF International BV ("ZF Bidco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ZF for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Hansen including outstanding rights under the Hansen Warrant Plans.

· The Offer will be 66 pence in cash for each Hansen Share and values the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Hansen, including outstanding rights under the Hansen Warrant Plans, at approximately £444.8 million. The prices offered for the various rights under the Hansen Warrant Plans are detailed in Section 11 below.

· The Offer represents a premium of approximately 95.6 per cent. over the closing price of 33.75 pence per Hansen Share on 22 July 2011, being the Business Day immediately prior to the date of this announcement and a premium of approximately 60.2 per cent. over the volume weighted average price of 41.19 pence per Hansen Share over the three month period ended on 22 July 2011.

· ZF believes that a combination of Hansen and ZF's worldwide platform, substantial manufacturing and engineering expertise and strong research and development capability will help create a leading player in the global wind turbine gearbox market.

· The Hansen Directors, who have been so advised by BofA Merrill Lynch, consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable and unanimously recommend that Hansen Shareholders accept the Offer. In accordance with Belgian law, this recommendation is without prejudice to the right of Hansen's works council also to issue an opinion regarding the Offer.

· ZF has received irrevocable undertakings from Hansen's two largest shareholders, Suzlon and Ecofin, to accept the Offer in respect of 257,224,599 Hansen Shares in aggregate, representing approximately 38.4 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Hansen.

Commenting on the Offer, Alex De Ryck, Chief Executive Officer of Hansen said:
"The employees and management of Hansen have succeeded in building Hansen into one of the global leaders in gearboxes for gear-driven multi-megawatt wind turbines despite very challenging market conditions in recent years. ZF fully recognises these achievements and wants to build on our existing platform to further expand globally and enhance our market position. This Offer reflects the fair and reasonable value of the business we have built and gives Hansen Shareholders the opportunity to realise that value, in cash, at this time."

Commenting on the Offer, Hans-Georg Härter, Chief Executive Officer of ZF said:
"ZF has a strategic objective to achieve technology leadership and worldwide presence across all of its business units. The combination of ZF and Hansen's wind gearbox activities represents a natural extension of our strategic decision to enter the growing and exciting field of wind energy. It will bring together substantial manufacturing and engineering expertise - and strong research and development capability - with a stable and supportive ownership structure. We are committed to leveraging this worldwide platform to develop this business through investment in growth, creating significant opportunities for the highly skilled management teams and employees of both companies."

From yesterday's Guardian.

"Hansen Transmission, which makes components for windpowered equipment, rose 2.03p to 48.94p on hopes that any move away from nuclear in the wake of the Japan disaster would benefit renewables. At the same time Peel Hunt issued a buy note, saying:

Hansen has a strong market position, momentum from new product launches, and useful exposure to India and China. There may be no profit for a while, but the share price recently touched a 50% discount to book value (comprising tangible assets). We believe such capitulation by investors marks an opportunity".

Edegem/Antwerp, Belgium - London, UK - 20 January 2010

GUIDANCE ADJUSTMENT FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2010

Since early 2009, the volatility and challenges impacting the near term wind market have been reflected in Hansen Transmissions International NV financial results, most recently in the half year Interim Results where we commented on our caution resulting from the operating environment remaining challenging and lacking visibility. This trend has continued and although the results for Q3 2010 are anticipated to be in-line with the Company's expectations, Hansen believes the operating environment to remain challenging for at least the next two quarters, being the first two quarters of the 2010 calendar year (reporting quarters Q4 2010 and Q1 2011).

In particular, as a result of recent discussions with its customers, Hansen's expectations for volumes in the last quarter of the financial year 2010, which historically has been its strongest quarter, have been reduced in order to meet with customers needs in the short-term. Consequently, the company adjusts its revenue guidance from flat revenue for the full financial year 2010 to a revenue decrease of approximately 15% from the level achieved for the full financial year 2009. The Company continues to build on its successful cost reduction measures to minimise the impact on profitability.

While the order book has seen significant rescheduling, the ongoing dialogue with our customers continues to suggest some optimism for improving industry investment from the second half of the 2010 calendar year. We continue to be well-positioned with our customers and see the issues as predominantly relating to the wind market as a whole. Our confidence in the medium and longer-term fundamentals of the wind industry remain.

Hansen will publish its Interim Management Statement for the 3 months period ended 31 December 2009 on 28 January 2010.
