Hanover, 10 June 2009

The demand and economic situation faced by Viscom AG, as outlined in the
interim report on 31 March 2009, remains difficult. The Executive Board of
Viscom AG already introduced wide ranging measures aimed at ensuring
liquidity and securing the company's future in 2008. These measures were
bolstered at the end of the second quarter of 2009. 36 employees were
offered a move to a transitional company in an effort to avoid lay-offs.
Short time was also introduced in several departments of Viscom AG for the
time being. The savings in personnel will result in around EUR 3 million
per year in saved costs.
 
By implementing these measures, Viscom AG is now well positioned to
overcome this economically weaker period.
 
The Executive Board of Viscom AG anticipates that revenue and net profit
for the 2009 financial year will fall considerably short of the previous
year's level. The company is still not in a position to make a quantitative
forecast for the current financial year.
