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

TRIPLAN AG leaves SMAX

Bad Soden, 11.11.2002
The management board of TRIPLAN AG has decided to leave the SMAX stock market tier, which is the small cap index of Deutsche Börse AG, with effect from 20.12.2002. From the perspective of the management board the costs associated with the listing are disproportionate to the hoped-for benefits to the company's shareholders. This does not affect TRIPLAN AG’s listing on the regulated market. Capital market communications will be continued at a high level after the departure from SMAX.

After reorganisation of the stock market tier by Deutsche Börse AG the positioning will be checked in the context of the new market tier.
