The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– Phoenics project to run to end of 2004 Order volume of around EUR 10 million in 2004 Wiesbaden, January 29, 2004 The revised schedule for the Phoenics project – a joint venture for the development of a new IT system for seven German Occupational Health and Safety Agencies for the construction industry, the Occupational Health and Safety Agency for the civil engineering industry, and the Occupational Health and Safety Agency for the food and catering industry – will see the project continuing until the end of 2004. This means that plenum AG, the lead contractor for the development of this software-system, will benefit from an order volume of around EUR 10 million in the current fiscal year. The end-to-end solution devised for the German Occupational Health and Safety Agencies’ core processes entails the development of completely new software on the basis of state-of-the-art Java technology. All components will be brought into production in 2005. Preparations for the migration on the new system are currently well advanced. plenum AG’s Managing Board believes that this decision confirms its cautiously upbeat outlook for the beginning of fiscal year 2004.
