A corresponding agreement between the two companies has been signed this afternoon. L&L Rotorservice is a market leader for the service and repair of wind turbines. Its customers consist of a large number of wind farm operators which use nearly all major turbine makes and types. L&L Rotorservice has five German Service- resp. repair centres as well as subsidiaries in Portugal and Spain. In both countries Energiekontor AG is currently developing large wind farm projects. The investment in L&L Rotorservice supplements the current business activities of Energiekontor-Group and will intensify the already existing cooperation between both firms.

The price for the takeover will be paid in shares of Energiekontor AG from the authorised capital approved at the Annual General Meeting on the 23rd of August for contribution in kind. Thus, the share capital of Energiekontor AG will be increased from EUR 15,591,588 by EUR 58,922 to EUR 15,650,510, by this move. As customary on capital increases for contribution in kind, the granting of pre- emptive subscription rights to existing shareholders is excluded according to Art. 186 (3) AktG (German Stock Corporation Act).
