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.

2. Formal approval of the actions of the Board of Management for 2009

The Board of Management and Supervisory Board propose the formal approval of the actions of the members of the Board of Management for 2009.

On the recommendation of its Audit Committee, the Supervisory Board proposes that Deloitte & Touche GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Düsseldorf, be appointed as auditors of the separate and consolidated annual financial statements for 2010. This appointment includes the auditors' review of the condensed financial statements and the interim management report for the period to 30 June 2010 pursuant to section 37w (5) sentence 1 German Securities Trading Act (WpHG).

5. Elections to the Supervisory Board

Dr. Giuseppe Vita stepped down from the Supervisory Board of DEUTZ AG with effect from 31 July 2009. At the request of the Board of Management, and as recommended by the Nominations Committee of the Supervisory Board, the local court in Cologne appointed Dr Michael Lichtenauer to succeed Dr Vita as a member of the Supervisory Board with effect from 10 August 2009 until the 2010 Annual General Meeting.

The Supervisory Board proposes, on recommendation of its Nominations Committee, that Dr Michael Lichtenauer, attorney in Hamburg and resident in Hamburg, be elected as a shareholders' representative on the Supervisory Board for the remaining term of office of the other members of the Supervisory Board, i.e. until the end of the Annual General Meeting that formally approves the actions of the Supervisory Board for 2012.

Pursuant to section 96 (1) and section 101 (1) AktG in conjunction with section 6 (1) and section 7 (1) sentence 1 no. 1 German Codetermination Act (MitbestG), the Supervisory Board consists of 12 members, with 6 shareholder representatives and 6 employee representatives. The Annual General Meeting is not bound by the proposed nominations for election.

Dr Lichtenauer is a member of the statutory supervisory boards of the following companies:

• Verwaltungsgesellschaft Otto mbH, Hamburg
• Schwartauer Werke GmbH & Co. KGaA, Bad Schwartau.

He is also a member of the following comparable supervisory bodies:

• Advisory Board of MPC Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH, Hamburg
• Supervisory Board of ELAFLEX-Hiby Tanktechnik GmbH & Co., Hamburg (chairman).

II. Requirements for attendance at annual general meetings and the exercise of voting rights

1. Total number of shares and voting rights

The issued capital of the Company amounting to €308,978,241.98 was divided into 120,861,783 no-par-value bearer shares on the date this Annual General Meeting was convened. Each share confers one vote. All the shares are of the same type. On the date this Annual General Meeting was convened the Company held no treasury shares.

2. Requirements for attendance at annual general meetings and the exercise of voting rights

Only those shareholders who have, prior to the Annual General Meeting, registered with the Company and provided proof of entitlement to attend the Annual General Meeting and exercise their voting rights will be entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting and exercise their voting rights.

The proof of entitlement to attend the Annual General Meeting and exercise a voting right must relate to such status as at 15 April 2010, 00.00 hours (the proof of entitlement reference date). A specific proof of shareholding issued by the custodian in writing or by electronic mail (§ 126b BGB) will suffice as proof of entitlement.

Registration together with proof of entitlement in either German or English must reach the following registration office no later than 24.00 hours on 29 April 2010.

Registration office:

DEUTZ AG
c/o Deutsche Bank AG
General Meetings
Postfach 20 01 07
60605 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Fax: +49 (0) 69 12 01 28 60 45
Email: WP.HV@Xchanging.com

Admission cards for attendance at the Annual General Meeting will be sent to shareholders once the Company has seen proof of their shareholdings. We would ask shareholders to request an admission card from their custodian as early as possible so that they receive their admission cards in good time. In this case, the custodian will carry out the necessary registration and send the required proof of shareholding.

3. Importance of the proof of entitlement reference date

The proof of entitlement reference date is the critical date regarding the number of persons with the right to attend and exercise voting rights at the Annual General Meeting. Only those who have provided proof of shareholding as at the reference date qualify as shareholders of the Company who can participate in the Annual General Meeting and exercise a voting right. Changes in shareholdings after the proof of entitlement reference date are disregarded for this purpose. Regardless of possible proxies in the internal relationship between seller and acquirer, shareholders who have only acquired their shares after the reference date may not therefore attend the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders who have duly registered and provided the relevant proof are entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting and exercise their voting rights even if they have sold the shares after the proof of entitlement reference date. This has no effect on the marketability of shares and the date is of no relevance as far as any entitlement to dividends is concerned.

4. Procedure for voting by proxy

Shareholders who do not wish to attend the Annual General Meeting in person may elect to have their voting rights exercised by a proxy e.g. by a bank, shareholder association or by the voting proxy nominated by DEUTZ AG. In this case too, registration and submission of the proof of entitlement to attend the Annual General Meeting and exercise a voting right is also required as specified in no. 2.If a shareholder appoints more than one proxy, the Company is entitled to reject one or more of these proxies.

The issue or cancellation of proxies, together with the proof of authority, must be submitted to the Company in writing or by electronic mail (§ 126b BGB). The proxy form produced by the Company may be used for the issue of a proxy. This form will be sent to shareholders together with admission cards.

Special requirements may apply to the appointment of the following as proxies: banks, shareholder associations or equivalent persons or entities in accordance with section 135 (8) AktG who undertake to act in a business arrangement as proxies for shareholders and exercise their voting rights at the Annual General Meeting; in such cases, shareholders are requested to consult the entity to be appointed as proxy in good time in order to ensure that the entity's requirements as regards the form of proxy are satisfied.

An authorised proxy may provide proof of the issue of a proxy simply by presenting the proxy authorisation on the day of the Annual General Meeting to the persons checking attendance cards at the entrance to the meeting. Proof of the issue of a proxy may also be sent by postal mail, fax or email (hereinafter referred to as "communication channels") to the following address:

DEUTZ AG
Investor Relations
Ottostrasse 1
51149 Cologne (Porz-Eil), Germany
Fax: +49 (0) 221 82 21 52 49 1
Email: Vollmacht.HV_2010@deutz.com

The aforementioned communication channels may also be used if the proxy is to be issued by declaration to the Company; in this case, separate proof of the issue of the proxy is not required.

The cancellation of a proxy already issued may also be submitted directly to the Company using the aforementioned communication channels.

DEUTZ AG also offers shareholders who are unable to attend the Annual General Meeting in person the option of being represented at the Annual General Meeting by employees of the Company who will then act in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder concerned. If a shareholder appoints as a proxy one of the proxies nominated by the Company for this purpose, the shareholder must issue instructions to the proxy for the exercise of his/her voting rights. The proxy is invalid without these instructions. The persons nominated by the Company to act as proxies on behalf of shareholders are under an obligation to vote in accordance with the instructions from the shareholders concerned.

The proxy form sent to shareholders with the attendance card may also be used to authorise a proxy nominated by the Company and to issue instructions to this proxy. Proxy authorisations with instructions must be submitted in writing or by electronic mail (§ 126b BGB). Proxy authorisations with instructions must be received by midnight on 4 May 2010 by postal mail, fax or email at the following address:

DEUTZ AG

Prannerstrasse 8
803333 Munich, Germany
Fax: +49 (0) 89 30 90 37 46 75

Further details on attending the Annual General Meeting and on issuing proxy authorisations and instructions will be sent to shareholders together with the attendance card.

5. Agenda item requests, nominations for election, requests for information

5.1 Requests for additions to the agenda submitted by a minority pursuant to section 122 (2) AktG

Each new item must be accompanied by the reasons for the item or a proposed resolution. The request must be submitted in writing (§ 126 BGB) to the Board of Management of DEUTZ AG.

The persons submitting the request must prove that they will have been the holders of shares for at least three months on the day of the Annual General Meeting and that they have continued to hold the shares until a decision on the request.

5.2 Counterproposals and nominations for election from shareholders in accordance with section 126 (1) and section 127 AktG

Any shareholder is entitled to submit counterproposals to items on the agenda or nominations for elections.

The Company may decline to make a counterproposal and the reasons for the counterproposal available on its website if one of the criteria for exclusion as specified by section 126 (2) AktG is deemed to be met, e.g. because the counterproposal would lead to a decision by the Annual General Meeting that would be in contravention of the law or the Statutes. The reasons for a counterproposal do not need to be made available if the text amounts to more than 5,000 characters in total.

The aforementioned rules apply mutatis mutandis to any proposal by a shareholder concerning the election of members of the Supervisory Board or the appointment of auditors, although nominations for election do not require a justification. The Board of Management does not have to make a nomination for election available if the nomination does not include the name, profession and place of residence of the person proposed for election to the Supervisory Board or proposed as the auditor and, in the case of nominations for election to the Supervisory Board, the nomination does not also include details of the nominee's membership of other statutory supervisory bodies.

Shareholders are requested to include proof of their status as a shareholder when they send in their counterproposal or nomination for election.

5.3 Shareholders' right to information pursuant to section 131 (1) AktG

At the request of any shareholder at the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Management must provide information on the affairs of the Company including the legal and business relationships with affiliated companies as well as on the position of the Group and the entities included in the consolidated financial statements insofar as this is required for a proper assessment of the subject matter on the agenda.

6. Publication of information on the website

The following information is accessible on the Company's website at www.Investors-AnnualGeneralMeeting-2010.deutz.com in accordance with section 124a AktG:

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.

Notes on shareholders' right to information (section 131 AktG)
Shareholders' right to information pursuant to section 131 AktG

Each shareholder will upon request be provided with information at the shareholders’ meeting by the management board regarding the company’s affairs, the company’s legal and business relations with any affiliated enterprise and the outlook of the group and the enterprises included in the consolidated financial statement, to the extent that such information is necessary to permit a proper evaluation of the relevant item on the agenda and provided that the management is not entitled to deny the provision of information.

The relevant statutory provision reads as follows:

§ 131 Right of Shareholders to Information

(1) Each shareholder shall upon request be provided with information at the shareholders’ meeting by the management board regarding the company’s affairs, to the extent that such information is necessary to permit a proper evaluation of the relevant item on the agenda. The duty to provide information shall also extend to the company’s legal and business relations with any affiliated enterprise. If a company makes use of the simplified procedure pursuant to § 266(1) sentence 3, § 276 or § 288 of the Commercial Code, each shareholder may request that the annual financial statements be presented to him at the shareholders’ meeting on such annual financial statements in the form which would have been used if such provisions on simplified procedure were not applied. A parent enterprise’s (§ 290(1) and (2) of the Commercial Code) management board’ duty to inform in the shareholders meeting that considers the consolidated financial statement and consolidated management report shall extend to the outlook of the group and the enterprises included in the consolidated financial statement.

(2) The information provided shall comply with the principles of conscientious and accurate accounting. The articles of association or the rules of internal procedure pursuant to § 129 may authorize the chairman of the shareholders’ meeting to appropriately limit the time allocated to questions and speeches by shareholders and to determine the particulars in more detail.

(3) The management board may refuse to provide information:

1. to the extent that providing such information is, according to sound business judgment, likely to cause material damage to the company or an affiliated enterprise;

2. to the extent that such information relates to tax valuations or the amount of certain taxes;

3. with regard to the difference between the value at which items are shown in the annual balance sheet and the higher market value of such items, unless the shareholders’ meeting is to approve the annual financial statements;

4. with regard to the methods of classification and valuation, if disclosure of such methods in the notes suffices to provide a clear view of the actual condition of the company’s assets, financial position and profitability within the meaning of § 264 (2) of the Commercial Code; the foregoing shall not apply if the shareholders’ meeting is to approve the annual financial statements;

5. if provision thereof would render the management board criminally liable.

The provision of information may not be refused for other reasons.

6. if the case of a bank or financial services institution information about the applied balance sheet and valuation methods or calculations made in the annual financial statements need not be given.

7. if the information is made continually available on the company’s internet website for at least seven days before the beginning and during the shareholders meeting.

The provision of information may not be denied for other reasons.

(4) If information has been provided outside a shareholders’ meeting to a shareholder by reason of his status as a shareholder, such information shall upon request be provided to any other shareholder at the shareholders’ meeting, even if such information is not necessary to permit a proper evaluation of an item on the agenda. The management board may not refuse to provide such information on the grounds of (3) sentence 1 Nos. 1 to 4. Sentences 1 and 2 shall not apply if a subsidiary (§290(1), (2) of the Commercial Code), a cooperative enterprise (§ 310 (1) of the Commercial Code) or an affiliate (§ 311(1) of the Commercial Code) provides the information to a parent company (§ 290(1), (2) of the Commercial Code) for the purpose of inclusion in the consolidated annual financial statement of the parent company and the information is required for this purpose.

(5) A shareholder who has been denied information may request that his question and the reason for which the information was denied be recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
