In response to the mounting crisis in the French automotive industry,
automotive supplier Eurostyle, a subsidiary of ARQUES Industries AG (ISIN
DE0005156004), has placed its French subsidiaries under creditor protection
(redressement judiciaire) by order of the competent French court at the
company's request. The company decided to take this step in the light of a
sudden collapse in its main customers' sales figures, which has resulted in
Eurostyle suffering severe declines in terms of both new orders and
revenues.

Within the framework of the envisaged creditor-protection process, the
company will continue to operate as normal and press ahead with its
internal restructuring.
