Altira Aktiengesellschaft separates from ecolutions

10.09.2012 / 15:21

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Altira Aktiengesellschaft has sold its shares of ecolutions GmbH & Co. KGaA
('ecolutions'). At the same time, Altira Aktiengesellschaft has sold all of
its shares in the management company of ecolutions, which manages the
business of ecolutions. All parties agreed not to reveal the purchase price
for the shares and shares in the management company.

Altira Aktiengesellschaft co-founded and largely co-financed the company in
2007, and against the backdrop of recent market changes in the solar
industry, it no longer considers the company to have a viable business
model. For this reason, the liquidation of the company was proposed to the
other shareholders. With the sale of the shares and the management company,
Altira Aktiengesellschaft paves the way for a mutually acceptable solution
with the second major shareholder, Theolia S.A., Aix-en-Provence, France.
Recently, there was disagreement between two major shareholders as to the
future orientation of ecolutions.
