Proposal to increase the capital and abolish the company's share classes was finally adopted

Today the shareholders in Brødrene Hartmann A/S finally adopted the
proposal from the Board of Directors to increase the capital and to
abolish the company's share classes. The proposal implies that after
the increase of capital all shares will have the same rights.

Peter Arndrup Poulsen, CEO, states the following about the approval
of the proposal to increase the capital:
 "Our present high gearing means that big investments and further
development of the Group requires additional capital. Consequently,
we are delighted that the general meeting today has given us the
authority to an increase of capital."
 
Erik Højsholt, chairman of the Board of Directors in Brødrene
Hartmann A/S, states about the abolishment of the company's share
classes:
 "We have a positive view of the abolishment of the three share
classes in the company, partly because it has been a long-term wish
among the shareholders to introduce the principle 'one share - one
vote', partly because the asymmetrical distribution of votes does not
comply with the recommendations for corporate governance."
 
The result for 2007 influenced by turnaround activities
At the annual general meeting the Board of Directors and the
Executive Board also gave a report of the company's result and
activities during the past financial year:
 
Peter Arndrup Poulsen makes the following statement about 2007 in
general:
 "The total performance in 2007 was not satisfactory. But the negative
development in earnings has now turned around and several initiatives
have been rolled out and have provided a basis for improved earnings
going forward."
 
Erik Højsholt states about the result for 2007:
 "It is our hope that the result shows our shareholders that the
present management is cleaning up the company. I think that in 2007
we have shown a determination to act and that we have acted promptly.
We will continue doing just that. It is our ambition to bring
Hartmann back to a level of earnings which is fair to show our
shareholders."
 
Peter Arndrup Poulsen says about the future:" We are beginning to see the results of our efforts, but there is
still room for improvement. The fourth quarter ended 2007 on a
positive note and the budgets for 2008 look promising. We must
definitely increase the earnings in 2008."
 
Brødrene Hartmann A/S will convene an extraordinary general meeting
and submit the proposals to increase the capital and to abolish the
company's share classes for final approvement as soon as possible.
