Nuremberg, February 15, 2008 - TA Triumph-Adler has been granted to
purchase the essential assets of Lich BVF GmbH, Rabenau, Hessen,
Germany, from the insolvency administrator of the company which had
filed for an insolvency proceeding as of November 20, 2007. This was
now resolved by the committee of creditors. The deciding factor was
the concept presented by TA Triumph-Adler how to restructure the Lich
operations in order to return them to profitability at short notice.
The details of the purchase will be laid down in a purchasing
contract.

Lich BVF is a specialist dealer active in the field of office
communication (document business). The company generated around EUR 7
million of revenue in 2007 and manages over 3.500 machines as part of
long-term agreements. The major part of its operations will be
continued in the framework of a separate company within the TA
Triumph-Adler Group. TA Triumph-Adler expects to markedly increase
the sales revenue of the new company over the next years and lift
operating margins to levels customary within the Group.

Consent has been reached with the insolvency administrator that TA
Triumph-Adler will also purchase the customer base of Eberhard Lich
Gmbh & Co. KG, also located in Rabenau. This agreement is still
subject to the consent of the committee of creditors. The company is
also under insolvency administration. It operates in the office
equipment and stationery segment. Lich BVF GmbH and Eberhard Lich
GmbH & Co. KG have common shareholders.
