Gerresheimer Issues a EUR 300 Million Corporate Bond

Refinancing Concluded

DÜSSELDORF, Germany, May 12, 2011 - Gerresheimer AG today successfully placed a EUR 300 million
corporate bond. The bond (ISIN XS0626028566) with a term of seven years has
an interest rate of 5.00 percent, the issue price is 99.40. Due to the high
amount of interest from institutional investors and retail intermediaries all
over Europe the bond was over-subscribed several times.

The proceeds from the bond will be used to repay existing bank
debt and for general corporate financing purposes. The bond's listing on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange is scheduled for May 19, 2011. Commerz­bank,
Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland and UniCredit, were joint lead managers
of the transaction.

"The successful bond issuance confirms how attractive our
business model is to the capital markets. With this we have a long-term and
balanced financing structure in place", commented Hans-Jürgen Wiecha, CFO of
Gerresheimer AG.

The placement of the bond concludes the refinancing process
that Gerresheimer commenced early at the beginning of March 2011 on the back
of the positive market environment and the rating agencies' upgrade of its
rating.
