Ad hoc Notice
Villeroy & Boch AG - Safety Campaign by our Dutch Subsidiary
Mettlach, 24 October 2007 - Villeroy & Boch AG announces that its Dutch subsidiary Ucosan B.V. is about to launch a safety campaign in relation to accidents caused by heavy falls.
With earlier versions of certain bath models made from Quaryl®, a heavy fall could lead to injuries caused by cracks in the material under unfavourable circumstances. This is why a safety campaign is now being launched.
The expenses in connection with Ucosan's safety campaign might exceed EUR 1m and thus have a negative effect on the annual result of the Villeroy & Boch Group.
There is no such risk as mentioned above in relation to the Quaryl® baths that are currently being manufactured. Consumers and our market partners will be informed about the above safety campaign by way of notices, press releases and announcements on the Internet.
