Company Information

Wien (euro adhoc) - The publicly listed Semperit Group has increased
its shareholding in the Malaysian company Latexx Partners Berhad to
more than 95% on a diluted basis within the context of the delisting
from Bursa Malaysia (the stock exchange of Malaysia) and the related
"exit offer" for all outstanding shares and warrants. The delisting
of Latexx Partners can now be carried out as intended following the
closing of the "exit offer".

As a result of the delisting, trading of Latexx Partners' shares has
been suspended since May 23, 2013 and its' listing on Bursa Malaysia
will cease on June 5, 2013. Currently the remaining shareholders of
Latexx Partners have a further three months to sell their shares and
warrants to Semperit Group under the same conditions as in the "exit
offer".

A further step in the acquisition of Latexx Partners was successfully
taken on the basis of the delisting. The integration of the Malaysian
glove producer in the Medical Sector of the Semperit Group is on
schedule and has already generated already benefits in the first
quarter of 2013. The improved global presence, expanded customer base
and capacity increases resulting from the acquisition of Latexx
Partners will have a positive effect on Semperit Group's business
development for the rest of the year.
