Gelsenkirchen, 15 December 2010. Masterflex AG today paid a total of EUR 15.36 million to seven banks as repayment for existing liabilities, thereby triggering the partial debt waiver of EUR 10.2 million on the part of these banks. In future, the Company will obtain funding from six core banks under the terms of the new syndicated loan agreement concluded in November 2010 (see ad hoc disclosure dated 9 November 2010); the banking syndicate today paid out EUR 28.6 million in loans to the Company. Along with the recent capital increase with a nominal volume of around EUR 4.36 million and a gross liquidity inflow of some EUR 13.1 million (see ad hoc disclosure dated 2 December 2010), this means that the restructuring of equity and liabilities planned by the Executive Board for this year is now complete.
