HOCHDORF Group Press Release: Change of direction for Uckermärker Milch GmbH

Uckermärker Milch to reposition itself on the market

Hochdorf, 4 July 2017-The German company Uckermärker Milch GmbH, which is part
of the HOCHDORF Group, is to concentrate on high-value products and markets in
the future, further extending its market position with butter, buttermilk and
refined milk powders. It plans to stop curd production at the end of October.

Uckermärker Milch GmbH, which is based in Germany and belongs to the HOCHDORF
Group, is to reposition itself on the market. "We want to concentrate on
high-value products and markets in the future and extend our market position
with butter, buttermilk and refined milk powders," HOCHDORF CEO Dr Thomas
Eisenring announced. HOCHDORF plans to target investment in new production
technologies for high value-added products to consolidate the company's position
in the market.

As a result of this realignment Uckermärker Milch GmbH plans to stop its curd
production by 31 October 2017. Changes in the market mean it is no longer a
profitable operation.

Expiring, temporary contracts and natural fluctuation should mean there will be
very few redundancies. All permanent full-time members of staff will be
transferred to ongoing production areas.
