Leoni targeted by criminals
Nuremberg, 16 August 2016: Leoni AG (ISIN DE 0005408884 / WKN 540888)
realised on Friday 12 August 2016 that it had become the victim of
fraudulent activity with the help of falsified documents and identities and
the use of electronic communication channels. As a result, company funds
were transferred to accounts abroad. The Management Board immediately
launched an investigation into the events and is currently assessing claims
for damages and insurance claims. It has also reported the matter to the
police criminal investigators. The damage amounts to an outflow of
liquidity totalling around EUR 40 million. The criminal activities have not
affected the IT infrastructure or data security.
The extent to which the damage will affect the projected net income for the
year cannot at present be assessed. The liquidity situation of the Leoni
Group has not been adversely affected in any material way. The performance
of Leoni's operations is in line with the forecast.
