MEDION AG: Ad-hoc announcement in accordance with § 15 of the German
Securities Trading Act (WpHG)

According to preliminary figures, in fiscal year 2008 (01/01/2008 -
12/31/2008) the MEDION Group increased its earnings before interest
and taxes (EBIT) by about 20% to EUR34.4 million (2007: EUR28.5
million). Because of lowered volume in several key European markets
toward the end of the 4th quarter of 2008, revenue declined from
EUR1.659 million to EUR1.613 million. The improvement in earnings
compared to the previous year is primarily due to the optimized
portfolio of products and services. In particular, the new
Designline supported by targeted marketing activities was well
received in the market.

The significant worsening of the prospects for economic growth and
consumption in the eurozone and the great difficulty in forecasting
economic conditions at the present time make any projection for
the current fiscal year extremely uncertain. Due to the cautious
order behavior of significant MEDION customers for the 1st and 2nd
quarter of 2009, revenue is expected to decline in the first
six months of 2009. The economy in the eurozone and in
Germany in particular is generally expected to recover in the
second half of 2009. MEDION's revenues can then be expected to
stabilize.

Nonetheless, the MEDION Group will continue to be clearly
profitable in 2009 despite the well-known difficulties in the
economic environment. MEDION's sound financial position and
equity-to-assets ratio exceeding 50% will make further successful
development of the business model possible. Especially the portfolio
of design-oriented products and the service business will be
expanded.
