BERLIN (dpa-AFX) - Schaeffler AG (SCFLF.OB), a German maker of rolling
element bearings for industrial uses, said that it has placed a corporate bond
with a volume of 850 million euros with international investors with an interest
rate of 4.50 percent a year for a term until 2030.

The bond placement will be used to refinance the acquisition of the shares in
Vitesco Technologies Group AG and to further optimize the financing structure of
Schaeffler.

have succeeded in optimizing the financing structure of Schaeffler AG even
further. The entire acquisition of Vitesco shares is now fully financed on a

listed on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
