Correction: - Extension on antitrust review. Published: 2008-03-13 13:06:18 CET


Correction: One sentence added before the last paragraph.

The European Commission has extended its antitrust review of Marel Food Systems
hf. bid to acquire Stork Food Systems to April 21, 2008. The extension is not
triggered by antitrust concerns but is due to the fact that certain technical
information has to be updated. 

Therefore Marel Food Systems withdrew its prior notification about the
acquisition and re-notified with updated information on March 12th 2008. 

The extension will not cause any adverse affect on the agreement between Marel
Food Systems and Stork N.V.
