The Sulzer board of directors will abstain from taking a position and will leave it to the shareholders to decide at the extraordinary shareholder meeting.

As announced earlier, Sulzer will hold an extraordinary general meeting on August 18, 2009 for the proposed election of Jürgen Dormann and Klaus Sturany as new board members. Shareholders, whose combined shareholdings represent an aggregate par value of at least 2% of the share capital, have the right to request that an item be included on the agenda of this shareholder meeting until June 17, 2009.

The invitation to the extraordinary general meeting is planned to be sent out in late June.
