Capital increase completed

March 18, 2009

Silicon Sensor International AG has successfully completed a capital
increase involving a total of up to 520,420 individual share certificates,
issue price EUR4.80, with participating rights from Jan. 1, 2009. To avoid
costly obligations to issue a prospectus, the increase was limited to
514,116 certificates. Both the Board of Directors and Supervisory Council
see the high subscription rate among existing shareholders as a major token
of confidence in the future development of Silicon Sensor International AG.
Certificates not taken by old shareholders and offered to interested
institutional investors for private placement at the issue price were fully
taken up and oversubscribed one and a half times.

The revenue from this increase, which amounts to just under EUR2.5m, will
go into strategic reorientation to make the company Europe's leading sensor
manufacturer, strengthen its market position and prepare for future growth.
Essential factors here are to expand distribution at a high technical
level, add to the product range and make business more international.
Difficult times, in particular, require that the Silicon Sensor group be
seen as a reliable partner by its customers. That this image is gaining
ground in the market is suggested by the big increase in inquiries from
potential new clients that have been received in the last few weeks. Such
confidence is a vital basis for business since customers very often choose
SSI as a single source supplier. In addition, favorable openings for
acquisition could well arise in late 2009.
