    Stuttgart – Daimler AG (stock-exchange abbreviation DAI) welcomes
    Aabar Investments PJSC (Aabar) of Abu Dhabi, as a major investor.
    Daimler increases the share capital by approx. 10% with exclusion of
    subscription rights of existing shareholders. After acquiring all new
    shares, Aabar will hold approx. 9.1% of the new share capital. The
    capital increase was approved by Daimler’s Supervisory Board today.
    Aabar is an investment company headquartered in Abu Dhabi and is
    listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. It directly invests in
    various sectors including energy, infrastructure, real estate, automotive
    and financial services companies. Its largest stakeholder is the
    International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), which in turn is
    wholly owned by the Government of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
    The capital increase will be carried out by issuing 96,408,000 new
    registered no par value shares of Daimler’s Authorised Capital
    approved by the Annual Shareholders´ Meeting of April 9, 2008 in
    exchange for cash contributions. Existing shareholders’ rights to
    subscribe to these new shares are excluded. The issue price of the
    shares is €20.27 per share, resulting in an equity contribution for
    Daimler of €1.95 billion.
    Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler
    AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars: “We are delighted to welcome
    Aabar as a new major shareholder that is supportive of our corporate
    strategy. We look forward to working together to pursue joint strategic
    initiatives.”
    Khadem Al Qubaisi, Chairman Aabar: “Daimler is an iconic brand and
    a financially strong company with a reputation for excellence
    worldwide. We are delighted to have the opportunity to make this

    investment and are excited by the commercial potential of our
    partnership. We believe that our future cooperation will be beneficial
    for Aabar and create social and economic benefits for Abu Dhabi and
    the United Arab Emirates. We look forward to working with Daimler
    to fully realize these opportunities.”
    The future cooperation will focus on joint initiatives in the following
    areas:

    •
    Electric vehicles with a particular focus on projects aiming at the
    reduction of CO2-emissions


    •
    Development and/or production of innovative compound materials to
    be used in automotive manufacturing


    •
    Social projects such as the establishment of a training centre in Abu
    Dhabi to educate young talent for positions in the automotive industry
    The cash inflow from the capital increase of €1.95 billion will further
    improve Daimler’s sound financial position. At the end of 2008, the
    equity ratio of Daimler’s industrial business was 42.7% and the equity
    ratio of the entire Daimler Group was 24.3%.
    The investment complements a broad range of initiatives already
    undertaken by Daimler to react to the changing market environment,
    further strengthens its solid capital base and gives even greater
    flexibility to invest in innovative automotive technologies during a
    period of economic uncertainty and macroeconomic instability.
    With Abu Dhabi and Kuwait, Daimler will have two major
    shareholders in the future. Kuwait has held an equity interest since

    1974. Following the capital increase, the equity interest held by
    Kuwait will amount to 6.9%.
