Acquisitions to be financed by third-party borrowings

HAMBURG, Sept. 27, 2006. D+S europe AG (ISIN DE0005336804) will
forego the issue of up to 2.5 million shares authorized at the 2006
annual shareholders’ meeting. This decision was made today by
Management and the Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board. Due
to improved bank ratings, D+S europe AG has been able to increase its
borrowings through a syndicate led by two well-known major German
major banks by approx. 50% and achieve a significant reduction in
interest rates by nearly one- third. The company therefore has
short-term access to a good EUR25 million in additional credit, the
use of which would entail virtually no change in annual interest
expense. D+S europe AG has consequently opted for a more attractive
way to finance further acquisitions.
At a good double the EBITDA of EUR 35 million expected for 2007, D+S
europe AG’s level of debt will remain very moderate after expansion
of its line of credit, especially since this figure does not include
further increases in income from non-organic growth.
One of the significant short-term goals of the acquisition strategy
of D+S europe AG is expand its added-value solutions in the area of
conventional telephony to include mobile platforms in order to secure
a position of leadership in this important growth area of end-user
communication.
D+S europe AG is listed on the SDAX segment of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange. The company is present in 11 German states as well as in
Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic with over 3,000 group
employees and ranks among Germany’s largest outsourcing service
providers for marketing and customer-process management.
