RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG

Ad hoc-Notification pursuant to Section 15 (1) WpHG

Shareholder Alecta demands amendment of the agenda for the general
shareholders' meeting of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG, convened for 12 June 2013, in
respect of elimination of 90% clause

On May 10, 2013 the shareholder Alecta pensionsförsäkring, ömesesidigt
('Alecta') demanded of the executive board pursuant to Section 122 (2) of
the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) to add to the agenda and to
publish the following additional item for the general shareholders' meeting
of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG convened for 12 June 2013:

'Section 17 (4) 1st sub-paragraph of the articles of association of the
Company is deleted in its entirety.'

Alecta bases the request on the following reasons: 

'According to Section 17 (4) 1st sub-paragraph, certain material decisions
of the general shareholders' meeting require a majority of more than 90%.
This provision is no longer in keeping with the times and unusual for
comparable enterprises in Germany. The 90% requirement could impede the
development potentialities of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG and it should therefore be
in the interest of all shareholders to delete this provision in the
articles of association of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG.'

The executive board of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG has taken note of Alecta's request
and considers the request to be conclusively substantiated.
