Catalis SE / Miscellaneous 18.11.2008 Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eindhoven, November 18.11 2008 Catalis SE, worldwide provider of outsourcing services for the digital media industry announces that the release of the 2007 annual report will see a further delay. Catalis auditor, DRV Moore Stephens, informed the company that AFM, the Dutch analogue to the German BaFin, requests a second opinion on all audits in process performed by DRV. Besides a number of other companies audited by DRV, Catalis SE was caught by this decision only a few days before the finalization of its 2007 audit. According to Dutch law, AFM continuously performs checks on audit firms in the Netherlands. The results of these checks triggered AFMs decision to have DRVs audits in process reviewed by other audit firms. By no means, AFMs request has a direct link to the Catalis audit or accounting principles applied by the company. Since this decision has been made between AFM and DRV, Catalis SE has only limited influence on the process. However, the company will use its utmost efforts to keep the review process on a short time line. Catalis SE will inform its shareholders about the new release date as soon as possible. As a result of these events and the information that DRV stopped its application process for a grand license, Catalis SE is currently in the process of identifying a new group auditor. The decision will be taken by Catalis board and brought for final confirmation to the upcoming AGM.
