MAN extends acceptance period for Scania offer until 31 January 2007

MAN AG decided to extend the acceptance period for its Offer to the shareholders of Scania AB until 31 January 2007.

The extension of the acceptance period beyond the initial date of 11 December 2006 has become necessary since the European Commission extended the date for a decision on its anti-trust review (Phase 1) of MAN's proposed combination with Scania from 6 December until 20 December 2006. This date is immediately prior to the Christmas and New Year holiday season. All other terms and conditions stated in the Offer Document apply to the Offer.

MAN continues to reserve the right to extend the acceptance period and to defer the date for settlement in the future.
