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

TRIPLAN AG has issued convertible bonds with an attractive exchange ratio as part of a subscription right offer

Bad Soden, 03.05.2005

The management board of TRIPLAN AG, Bad Soden, with the agreement of the supervisory board, has decided to issue convertible bonds worth 2.6 m Euro. No periodic interest payments shall be made on the bonds. For the term of the convertible loan of 15 May 2005 to 14 May 2008 the difference between the issue amount and the repayment amount of EUR 1.33 to be repaid on the due date shall produce a yield of around 10.0 % p.a. Each bond with a nominal value of 1.00 EUR can be exchanged for one share (conversion ratio 1:1). To make the conversion attractive to shareholders, a capital reduction will be recommended at the next annual general meeting. The conversion ratio shall be unaffected by this, in accordance with the conditions of the convertible bond, i.e. each bond with a nominal value of EUR 1.00 will continue to be exchanged for one (converted) share.

The convertible bonds will be offered for subscription to all shareholders as part of a subscription right issue. For each 2.5 shares a bond worth 1.00 EUR per bond can be subscribed. Shareholders will likewise be allowed an over-subscription right. There will be no public offer. Bonds that are not subscribed by old shareholders will be privately placed.
The income from a convertible bond will be used to finance the company restructuring that has already started, growth and expanding and internationalising sales.

Detailed information about the procedure will soon be published in the electronic federal gazette at www.ebundesanzeiger.de and in the financial paper. The capital adjustment will be managed by VEM Aktienbank AG, Munich.
