Restructuring

12.02.2009

Frankfurt/Neuwied, Germany; February 12, 2009: At its extraordinary
meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Winkler+Dünnebier AG,
Neuwied, approved the key points of a restructuring plan to secure
the company's future. - But the company still expects to report a
loss for 2009.

The global economic crisis has had a significant impact on
Winkler+Dünnebier AG in recent months. The adverse trend in new
orders and revenue predicted in the interim announcement on the third
quarter of 2008 has materialized and is likely to further intensify.
Whilst the preliminary results in the 2008 financial statements are
in line with expectations, the annual budget approved today gives
grounds to anticipate a loss in 2009, the level of which is
impossible to predict more precisely due to the current market
uncertainty.

In order to counter these long-term market trends, the Management
Board of Winkler+Dünnebier AG has drawn up the key points of a
restructuring plan which was approved today by the Supervisory Board.
The objective of the plan is a substantial reduction of existing
capacities and cost levels whilst at the same pushing ahead with
current and future research and development projects.

The Management Board is responsible for determining the specific
individual measures to be taken in order to implement the
restructuring plan, which should be put into effect swiftly in
collaboration with everyone concerned.
