Note of Thielert Vermögensverwaltung GmbH:
Thielert Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (TVV) assumes that it has lost ownership of 3,682,952 shares in Thielert Aktiengesellschaft between early July and end of September 2006 and now only holds 2,953,552 shares, corresponding to a participation of 14.85%. It became aware of this on May 7, 2007, after inspecting the protocols of the interrogation of the former (indirect) shareholder Marco Hahn by the public prosecutor's office in Kiel. TVV had filed criminal charges because of suspected embezzlement in a particular severe case. TVV has also sued Mr. Marco Hahn, two companies dominated by him, and Flensburger Sparkasse for return of the shares before the district court in Flensburg. The preliminary amount in dispute amounts to EUR 70 million. TVV holds the legal position that Flensburger Sparkasse is equally liable next to Hahn and his companies for the losses incurred.
