Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.

Altered market conditions have induced K+S Group to modify the
US-Dollar hedging based on range options. All outstanding options for
the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 now carry upper knock-outs of at least
1.40 USD/EUR. As a consequence of this restructuring, the weighted
average hedging rate incl. premium payments will increase from 1.06
USD/EUR to 1.11 USD/EUR for the year 2005. For the years 2006 and
2007, net hedging rates will remain unchanged at 1.04 USD/EUR and
1.02 USD/EUR, respectively.

For the year 2005, the board of executive directors of K+S AG is
unalteredly confident for the earnings perspective. Besides the
commenced efficiency enhancements, this outlook is based on strong
demand, especially in the potash and magnesium business segment; in
these markets, price increases are already announced and further
increases are likely.
