Marburg, November 24, 2006 – The Board of Management and Supervisory Board
of 3U TELECOM AG adopted a resolution to spin off its telecommunications
services and to transfer these to a new wholly-owned subsidiary
retroactively as of 1 October 2006. For regulatory reasons the
telecommunications services of the 3U Group have organizationally been
conducted predominantly in subsidiaries in Germany and abroad to date, yet
also in part within 3U TELECOM AG. The planned legal independence of the
telecommunications services of 3U TELECOM AG in a wholly-owned subsidiary
enables a consistent and more efficient group control. At the same time,
against the background of the planned conclusion of a control/profit and
loss transfer agreement with the new subsidiary, fiscal issues within the
group will be optimized. This restructuring will allow for greater
transparency and clear structuring of the control of the group with its
operating units. In the future the areas of fixed-line telephony and
broadband/IP will be managed in the same level below 3U TELECOM AG. After
the successful spin-off 3U TELECOM AG will assume the function of a
management and equity holding company in the 3U Group. It is further
planned that 3U TELECOM AG shall tap new growth and earnings potential by
establishing an equity holding business.
So as to implement the planned measures swiftly the Board of Management and
Supervisory Board will convene an extraordinary shareholder’s meeting for
mid-January 2007.
