Berlin, January 20, 2010 - The Court of Appeal in Brussels has rejected
Eckert & Ziegler's (ISIN DE0005659700) appeal against an injunction of
Belgian financial regulator CBFA and confirmed the legitimacy of the
requested mandatory take-over bid. It also asked Eckert & Ziegler to pay
litigation cost in the amount of 20,186 EUR. The court decision is
otherwise not expected to have material consequences for the current
take-over bid, and will not affect, for example, the price or the valuation
of IBt. Eckert & Ziegler had already voluntarily included the requests of
the Belgian financial regulator into its offer. Since the verdict denies a
material interest for the claim of Creafund, Eckert & Ziegler assumes that
the decision will actually conclude all litigation related to the take-over
bid.
