Dividend Announcement

The ordinary shareholders' meeting of our company on June 16, 2010 has
resolved to appropriate the annual net profit for the financial year 2009
in the amount of EUR 28,500,000.00 as follows:

Distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.50 per no-par value share entitled to
dividends - EUR 27,998,813.00

Profit carried forward - EUR 501,187.00

The dividend will be paid to the shareholders by their custodian banks from
June 17, 2010 via Clearstream Banking AG.

The paying agent is Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt am Main. 

Since the dividend is being paid in full from the tax reserve account as
defined by section 27 KStG - German Corporation Tax Act - (contributions
not paid into the nominal capital), the payment is being made without
deduction of capital gains tax and solidarity surcharge. Domestic
shareholders are not required to pay tax on the dividend. The dividend does
not entitle recipients to a tax credit.
