Capital increase
07.10.2007
Roedental, Germany, October 07, 2007 - Zapf Creation AG (ISIN 
DE0007806002 / WKN 780600), Europe´s leading manufacturer of play and
functional dolls, today announced that it will execute a capital 
increase under authorized capital in return for cash contributions. 
The Management Board resolved this capital increase on October 02, 
2007, and the Supervisory Board approved it today. The proceeds from 
this capital increase are an important element of the Company's 
restructuring.
The Company's share capital of currently EUR 8,799,998 will be 
increased by up to EUR 3,200,002 to a maximum of EUR 12,000,000 
against cash contributions by issuing up to 3,200,002 no-par bearer 
shares ("New No-Par Shares" - ISIN DE000A0TGNS0 / WKN A0T GNS). The 
New No-Par Shares will participate in profits from January 01, 2007.
The New No-Par Shares will be offered to the Company's shareholders 
for subscription between October 12, 2007, and October 26, 2007, at a
subscription price of EUR 3.16 per New No-Par Share. The Company's 
no-par shares will be traded on the Frankfurt/Main Stock Exchange "ex
subscription right" from October 12, 2007, onward.
Two of the Company's major shareholders, MGA Entertainment, Inc. and 
Mr. Nicolas Mathys, have undertaken vis-à-vis the Company, subject to
the occurrence of specified conditions, to ensure that the capital 
increase is executed in a scope of up to 3,200,002 New No-Par Shares.
If necessary, they will acquire, at a purchase price that corresponds
to the subscription price, any unsubscribed New No-Par Shares.
The New No-Par Shares will be subscribed to and taken over by 
Bankhaus Neelmeyer AG, Bremen, Germany, with the obligation to 
transfer them to the shareholders in accordance with the exercise of 
their subscription rights and to transfer any New No-Par Shares that 
were not subscribed to MGA Entertainment, Inc. and Mr. Nicolas 
Mathys.
The New No-Par Shares will likely be credited to shareholders' 
securities accounts on a date that precludes registering these shares
for the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, which has been tentatively 
scheduled for November 20 and 21, 2007. The approval of the New 
No-Par Shares by the Frankfurt/Main Stock Exchange, as well as their 
introduction to trading at the existent price fixing of the Company's
no-par shares, is planned for a later date.
This ad hoc release does not constitute an offer to purchase or 
subscribe shares. The shareholders are requested to refer to the 
subscription offer, which will be published in the electronic Federal
Gazette, Börsen Zeitung, as well as on the Company's website 
(www.zapf-creation.de), in the next few days.
