                              BKN International AG

                            ("BKN" or "the Company")

                  BKN International AG Announces Rights Offering


BKN, the media and entertainment company specialising in the children's market, 
announced today that the management board, with the consent of the supervisory 
board, has resolved to issue up to 5,239,189 new ordinary shares with no par 
value ("New Shares") which will be offered, by way of rights, to existing 
shareholders of the Company in the ratio 1:3 during the time period from 
29 June 2007 to 12 July 2007. The New Shares will be offered at Euro 2.45 per 
share to raise up to approximately Euro 13.0 million.

The proceeds of the offer will be used to set up a state-of-the-art digital 
high definition animation studio and to pay off the balance of the Company's 
outstanding convertible bonds. It is intended to list the New Shares immediately 
after they have been issued on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (regulated market, 
General Standard) and to admit for trading on the AIM market of the London Stock 
Exchange.

Concord Effekten AG, the Company's German advisory bank, will handle this rights 
offering in Germany and Hanson Westhouse, the Company's Nominated adviser and 
broker in relation to its admission to AIM, has agreed to use reasonable 
endeavours on behalf of the Company to place those New Shares not taken up by 
existing shareholders under the offer with institutional and other investors. 
The issue is not being underwritten.

A prospectus, which has been approved by BAFIN, the German financial services 
regulator, has been issued today and posted on the Company's website.
