Company Information

25.06.2010

Hamburg, June 25, 2010. The resolution taken at the Annual General
Meeting of D+S europe AG of August 27, 2009 on transfer of shares
held by the Company´s minority shareholders to Pyramus S.à r.l.,
based in Luxemburg, Grand Duchy Luxemburg, as principal shareholder
(so-called squeeze-out) has been registered in the Commercial
Register of the Company and taken effect today.

On registration of the squeeze-out, the shares of minority
shareholders are transferred by act of law to Pyramus S.à r.l. which
is now the Company´s sole shareholder. Details on payment of
compensation in cash to the minority shareholders agreed in the
squeeze-out resolution in the amount of EUR 9.87 per no-par share
will soon be announced separately by Pyramus S.à r.l. The
corresponding announcement will be released in the electronic federal
gazette (elektronischer Bundesanzeiger) as well as in the
Börsenzeitung.

The shares of D+S europe AG will probably cease to be listed in the
next few days. Until then stock exchange trading will only concern
handling the cash compensations of minority shareholders, because
from the time of registration of the squeeze-out in the Commercial
Register the shares of the Company still recorded in the custody
accounts will only certify the mentioned compensations in cash.

The registration of the squeeze-out in the Commercial Register was
preceded by actions for rescission and for nullification filed
against the squeeze out resolution by several shareholders after last
year´s Annual General Meeting. After the cases were dismissed in the
first instance by judgment of the District Court of Hamburg on May 7,
2010 the claimants abandoned their actions in the course of a
recently concluded settlement in court.
