MTU is seeking the consent of the holders of the Notes to enable MTU to satisfy its reporting obligations in connection with the Senior Notes by providing consolidated financial and other information with respect to MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, MTU's immediate parent, in order to save management time and expense by reducing the internal burden of administration, reporting, book-keeping and auditing.

The consent solicitation is being made upon the terms and is subject to the conditions set forth in a consent solicitation statement to be distributed to all holders of record of the Notes. The adoption of the Proposed Amendments requires the consent of holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes (the "Required Consents").

The record date for the consent solicitation is December 6, 2005. The tabulation agent is The Bank of New York.
