Eybl International AG (ISIN: AT0000908157) announces that in the course of ongoing administrative receivership proceedings, the following measures have been taken or are being implemented:
After having filed for administrative receivership for the companies Eybl International AG and Eybl Austria GmbH on 29 December 2008, all operations and production sites started according to plan with the production again on 7 January 2009 thereby ensuring the full supply of Eybl's customers.
The subsidiary Eybl Slovakia s.r.o. was wholly sold to the Austrian subsidiary of the German Prevent DEV GmbH, headquartered in Wolfsburg.
Of the 600 staff members at the Krems and Gmünd sites who, in compliance with legal early-warning requirements, were registered with the Austrian Employment Agency AMS for potential lay-offs, up to 250 persons will actually be laid off within the next few weeks.
The speedy implementation of these measures is meant to facilitate a positive conclusion of the administrative receivership proceedings and to safeguard the existence of the Austrian Eybl sites in Krems and Gmünd.
Due to the ongoing administrative receivership proceedings, publication of the financial results for the stub fiscal year 1 March - 30 September 2008, originally planned for this week, has been postponed to the end of April. According to a decision of the supervisory board of 27 January 2009, the annual shareholders´ meeting of Eybl International AG was postponed from 17 February 2009 to 14 May 2009.
