--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors of Highlight Communications AG has resolved temporary
measures against hostile takeover attempts in the interests of the company and
its minority shareholders. In particular, these measures are aimed at defending
the company against takeover attempts by persons falsely presenting themselves
in their legal dealings as members of executive bodies of affiliated companies.

The measures resolved by the Board of Directors serve to ensure that, in the
event of a hostile takeover attempt by such persons or third parties acting in
concert with such persons, the company's material assets will be protected and
access to these assets will be withheld from the aforementioned parties and
secured for the company.

To this end, the company has granted options to two independent foundations to
temporarily acquire a majority of the ordinary shares of the TEAM Group and
Constantin Film AG for such a case. The company has taken care to ensure that
the material economic interests of the company and its minority shareholders are
safeguarded.
