- Sales of EUR 294 million in financial year 2007/08 - Loss for the
year of EUR 45.9 million - Restructuring based on an injection of
fresh equity capital (EUR 32.4 million), debt relief (EUR 75.8
million) and an equity ratio of 40 %

Krems, 25 June 2008. Eybl International AG (ISIN: AT0000908157) is a
well-known international manufacturer of parts for car interiors and
specializes in the production of auto textiles and seat covers made
of fabric and/or leather. It has about 4,200 employees at nine
production locations in Austria, Hungary, Romania, Germany and
Slovakia. Today, the company announced its preliminary balance sheet
figures for the business year 2007/08. The balance sheet shows a loss
for the business year of EUR 45.9 million on sales of EUR 294
million. The loss is attributable to operational problems at the
production sites in Romania and Hungary and a lack of productivity as
well as the negative impact of a liquidity bottleneck in early 2008
and necessary write-downs. The management, led by the newly appointed
CEO Otto Zwanzigleitner, has been working together with consultants
from Roland Berger since February 2008 on a restructuring plan aimed
at helping Eybl International rejoin the ranks of successful European
automotive suppliers. Otto Zwanzigleitner announced a total
regeneration of the Eybl Group that would result in significantly
improved productivity and internal quality requirements and involve
the launch of a new sales campaign.

The CEO´s plans also include diversification in lines of business
outside the automotive sector, particularly in aerospace, an industry
offering sizable contracts with large margins.

In tandem with the operational restructuring, the main shareholder, a
private family foundation called Fries-Familien-Privatstiftung, has
agreed with the banks to a comprehensive debt relief program. Its aim
is to carry out a capital increase in conjunction with a capital
reduction at the upcoming Ordinary Meeting of Shareholders. This step
would give the Eybl Group a fresh injection of liquidity amounting to
EUR 32.4 million.

The group´s financial liabilities will be reduced by EUR 75.8 million
by the liquidity from the capital increase, the sale of EUR 20
million in assets not necessary for operations, and the waiving of
claims by bond and bank creditors. The remaining liquidity of at
least EUR 10 million is earmarked for financing operational growth.
CFO Markus Gahleitner, now up for reappointed, said these steps would
give the Eybl Group an equity ratio of 40 %, making it a stable and
reliable partner for customers and suppliers in terms of the
company´s balance sheet and finances.

Profile of Eybl International: Eybl International AG is a well-known
international producer of parts for car interiors and specializes in
the production of auto textiles, fabric and/or leather seat covers,
