According to the Public Prosecutor's Office Hanau, the allegation of fraud against key players of Drillisch AG, spread by Dr. Balz on 7 November 2011 and the subsequent slump in the share prices of Drillisch AG, provides grounds for the suspicion that Dr. Balz and other persons in charge at Deutsche Telekom AG have violated the prohibition of market manipulation (Sec. 20a WpHG (German Securities Trading Act). As there exists special jurisdiction in the German Land Hesse for prosecuting such crimes, the Public Prosecutor's Office Hanau referred the investigation matter to the General Prosecutor's Office in Frankfurt am Main for further referral. Drillisch AG's lawyers today received this information from the Public Prosecutor's Office Hanau upon request. Drillisch AG has so far not been asked to make a statement on the allegations of Deutsche Telekom AG or the suspicion of market manipulation. Drillisch AG asks that any inquiries be refrained from as the investigations are still in progress.
