Clarification: Bong's Luxembourg transaction limited to Tycon


Clarification: Bong's Luxembourg transaction limited to Tycon

Referring to Bong's press release from February 1 regarding the takeover of
Tycon in Luxembourg, Bong hereby wishes to clarify that the deal only comprises
Tycon, a production unit specialized in converting Tyvek® material into
envelopes and packaging solutions. The DuPont Tyvek® plant, also located in
Luxembourg, is thus not involved in the transaction but remains the supplier of
the unique Tyvek® material to Tycon. 

Tycon has around 20 employees and is specialized in converting of Tyvek®
material to different kinds of envelopes and packaging solutions. The deal is
expected to contribute positively to Bong's result from the first quarter 2010.

Tyvek® is a spunbonded polyethylene material developed and manufactured by
DuPont. It is light, thin and flexible but also extremely tough and durable.
Tyvek® is, for example, tear and water resistant and therefore highly suitable
for protective envelopes and postal packaging solutions. Furthermore, it is
readily recycled.

Since the fall of 2009, Bong has an exclusive agreement with DuPont for the
converting and distribution of Tyvek® envelopes and packaging solutions in
Europe.
