The First Quotation Board of Frankfurt Stock Exchange has been closed as of December 15th, 2012. Thereby the listing of our company's shares at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange has ended.

At present, the Management Board is evaluating if a new listing of the company's shares on another market place is feasible and reasonable. Furthermore, the Board is consulting over the possibilities to offer shareholders, who are willing to sell, a divestment as part of a share buy-back offering.

Concerning this you will be informed as soon as possible.
