Ad-hoc Announcement of TRIPLAN AG pursuant to §15 Securities Trading Act
Capital increase of just under 10% of the capital stock
Reinhard Meier sole member of the management board from 1 July 2005
Bad Soden, 28.06.2005
Together with the supervisory board, the management board of TRIPLAN AG has decided on a capital increase based on the company’s articles of incorporation. This will be carried out using TRIPLAN AG’s approved capital of EUR 649,999 excluding the shareholders’ subscription right. The 649,999 new shares bearing a dividend from 1 January 2004 will be subscribed by institutional investors at a nominal value of EUR 1.00. A report by the management board on the use of the approved capital and the exclusion of the subscription right is available from the company. The management board’s report can be sent to the shareholders on request. The capital market adjustment will be managed by Close Brothers Seydler AG who from 1 July 2005 will take over the designated sponsoring for TRIPLAN AG. The cash acquired will mainly be used to finance the expansion of the core engineering business with the objective of largely concluding the consolidation phase at the end of 2005.
TRIPLAN AG’s supervisory board has also decided to extend the contract with the management board and the company’s founder, Reinhard Meier, until the end of the year. At the same time Jürgen Jedlink and Walter Nehrbaß – originally appointed to the management board from 1. July 2005 – have withdrawn their agreement to their appointment to the management board. Both will continue to assist TRIPLAN AG with their expertise in their current positions. Reinhard Meier is therefore sole member of the management board from 1 July 2005.
The supervisory board thanks Jürgen Jedlink and Walter Nehrbaß in the name of the company for their contribution to implementing company objectives.
