After the sale of its display marketing unit AdLINK Media to 
Hi-media, AdLINK Internet Media AG (AdLINK Group) finalizes its 
realignment.

Following the concentration on the two performance-based online 
marketing businesses affilinet and Sedo, the management and 
supervisory board of AdLINK Group decided to buy the remaining 24.06%
of Sedo GmbH from the founders for 4.25 million newly issued shares 
and EUR 5.5 million in cash. Additionally, AdLINK Group sells its 
shares in the display marketing companies Hi-media and Goldbach Media
to United Internet. The proceedings of EUR 45.1 million will be used 
to reduce the financial debt. In addition the AdLINK Group expects to
receive extraordinary income of around EUR 12.7 million from the sale
of the two investments.

The company will also be renamed in order to reflect the new 
strategy. The change and the new name will be finally decided by the 
annual shareholder meeting in 2010.

Following the new focus, management will change: Stephane Cordier and
Marc Stilke will resign as members of the management board as per end
of September. Tim Schumacher, Managing Director of Sedo, and 
Alexander Röthinger, CTO of affilinet, will be appointed respectively
as new CEO and CTO for AdLINK Group. Together with the CFO Andreas 
Janssen, they will constitute the management board of the company.
