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

Chairman of the Board at TRIPLAN AG tenders His Resignation

The chairman of the board of TRIPLAN AG, Rolf Graf, has announced that he has resigned his post.

The company can, however, confirm the provisionally published figures for growth in sales of 23 % to 15.733 m, as well as EBITDA of 1.015 m and EBIT of 0.592. The problem arose in the value of a loan of 3 million that had been made available to an affiliated company for a limited period of time. The measures to secure this transaction could not be concluded until the closing and publication of the half-year balance sheet. For this reason, the company took the precautionary measure of making a value adjustment of 1.5 million. Realization of the security measures introduced will be concluded in the coming weeks. The exact value adjustment requirement will not be known until this has happened. This produces a provisional negative result for the period of (€0.753 million).

In the operational area the companies is entering the second half of the year with a full order book and a high stock list which confirms the growth trend of the last quarter.

During his tenure, Mr Graf developed a new strategic approach for TRIPLAN AG, and put the company on the growth course, introduced important restructuring measures to make the company suitable for floatation, and led the company on to the stock exchange in difficult conditions. The supervisory board regrets Mr Graf's decision.

Fellow board member Dr. Volker Schlüter will intially carry on as sole director, to ensure continuity in the development of the business.
