Ad-hoc Announcement of TRIPLAN AG pursuant to §15 Securities Trading Act

TRIPLAN AG / TRIPLAN plans a capital increase and extraordinary general meeting on 24.09.2004

Bad Soden, 09.08.2004

TRIPLAN AG, an engineering services and solutions provider in plant construction and building technology is planning for 2004 to implement a capital increase with the aim of positioning the company for the long-term and returning it to profitability. After the Nord LB loan write-off a few months ago a capital increase is the next logical step in successfully orienting the company for the long-term. On the basis of the discussions carried out in recent months with a variety of investor groups, the company is confident of being able to successfully implement capital adjustments.

As TRIPLAN AG cannot carry out a capital adjustment on the public capital market with a listed price of less than € 1, the calculated nominal amount, the basic precondition for the planned capital adjustment must be created at an extraordinary general meeting within the scope of an appropriate capital reduction. Consequently, TRIPLAN AG intends to invite shareholders to an extraordinary general meeting on 24 September 2004 at Bad Soden.
The only agenda item is the adoption of a resolution on reducing the capital stock to a 5:1 ratio, to a capital stock of 1.3 m EURO.

The capital increase should take place following the use of the approved capital pursuant to § 4 of the articles of incorporation if the annual general meeting adopts the suggested capital reduction.

TRIPLAN AG is confident that with these measures it can create the basis to successfully implement the already started measures to optimise the company’s market position with the objective of a return to profitability.
