AT&S does not expect any supply bottleneck after Panasonic fire

Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP – a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. —————————————————————————— After an in depth review of all facts and based on information from Panasonic as well as on results of discussions with other suppliers, AT&S does not expect any revenue losses or supply bottlenecks after the fire at the Panasonic plant in Enns last week. On the one hand, Panasonic will be able to provide additional capacities out of its Italian plant. These capacities should compensate the volumes, supposed to come out of the Austrian plant in Enns. AT&S got already in the past more than half of its Panasonic supply for Leoben out of this Italian plant. On the other hand, AT&S is presently qualifying several other suppliers. Finally the inventory of both Panasonic and AT&S is sufficient to provide material for another 3 weeks.
