Daimler’s Board of Management Chairman buys company’s own shares for approximately €1.2 million

“With this share purchase, Dieter Zetsche is underscoring his confidence in a sustained and positive development for Daimler. At the same time, it is a signal to all the other Daimler shareholders,” stated Jörg Howe, Corporate Spokesman and Head of Global Communications at Daimler AG.

For the acquisition of the shares, Dr. Zetsche applied the proceeds he had just received from the exercise of an existing stock option plan (in this case, options of the plan from the year 2004).
