Mergers - Acquisitions - Takeovers

Semperit successfully concluded the acquisition of Leeser GmbH & Co.
KG ("Leeser") with the formal closing of the transaction today.
Anti-trust authorities approved the acquisition of the German profile
producer by the Semperit Group without imposing any conditions.

With the acquisition of Leeser, Semperit strengthens its Segment
Semperform (Business Unit Building Profiles) as a complete provider
on the profiles market. It has taken a further step in its expansion
on the growth market for building profiles. Together the companies
offer a future-oriented product portfolio in attractive niche
markets. Leeser perfectly complements the existing Semperform
business, especially in profiles for windows, doors and facades. As a
result, Semperit will be able to better serve customers and open up
new markets.

Leeser operates two production plants located near Düsseldorf,
Germany. In 2014 Leeser generated revenue of approx. EUR 37 million
in Europe, employing a workforce of about 200 people. The sales focus
of the company established in 1968 is mainly on the markets in
Western Europe and the region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Synergies should be leveraged by bundling know-how, especially in the
field of ultra high frequency technology. The Semperform plant in
Deggendorf will continue to be the Group's competence centre for
profiles for PVC-windows. The sites near Düsseldorf will keep their
focus on moss rubber and co-extruded gaskets for aluminium windows
and facades.
