Montabaur (euro adhoc) - Montabaur, November 18, 2008. According to an article in "Börsen-Zeitung" on November 15, 2008, the CEO of freenet AG, Mr. Eckhard Spoerr, told the newspaper that United Internet had made an offer as part of the process which freenet had initiated to sell its DSL business. Insofar as this creates the impression that United Internet is still taking part in this selling process, this is not true. In a letter to the legal representatives of freenet, United Internet already declared in October that it had withdrawn from this process.
