Annual & Special Corporate Meetings
Blaubeuren (euro adhoc) - Blaubeuren, July 27, 2012 - As part of the current
insolvency protection proceedings, a reorganization concept is presently being
developed which will have a significant effect on the future development of the
company. Given these circumstances, the Management and Supervisory boards have
decided to postpone the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting, which was
planned for August 14, 2012, to a later date, probably towards the end of 2012
or the beginning of 2013. For this reason, too, the publication of the
half-yearly report will not occur on August 9, 2012, but instead at a later
date.
