"Ad-hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG"
The Einhell Group plans to sell its shares of weka  Holzbau  GmbH  in
D  -17034 Neubrandenburg to a fund of BPE2 Private Equity GmbH & Co.
KG,  administered  by BPE Private Equity GmbH, Hamburg upon approval
of the supervisory board.
weka Holzbau GmbH developed to a  leading  company  in  the  German
market  for prefabricated kits made of wood for housing & gardening.
The  company  provides entire concepts. It benefits from the trend
"wood in the garden"  and  from  the ongoing boom of the wellness
branch. Einhell is sure that the sucessful business of weka Holzbau
GmbH  will  be  even more strengthened by the new partnership at long
sight.
The transaction will be finished until the year's end depending on
the  receipt of payment of the purchase price. The group will receive
cash of about 10 million Euro  from  this  disposal.  The final
purchase price can first be determined exactly after the approval  of
the annual accounts of weka Holzbau GmbH.
This decision is taken in order  to  enforce  the  targeted  group  strategy  of
orientation towards the product groups power tools  and  garden  equipment.  The
company wants to raise futher  the  core  competence  in  these  groups  and  to
concentrate on the customer group of  do-it-yourselfer,  home  constructors  and
hobby  gardener.  The  aim  is  the  expanding  of  the  listing   business   at
international DIY chains.
Also investments  in  the  development  department  and  the  extension  of  the
international service network can be increased. Additionally  the  expansion  in
Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America should be forced increasingly.
By the disposal of weka Holzbau GmbH the  capital  commitment  will
be  reduced significantly and the liquidity of the Einhell group will
be increased  further. So an improvement of rating key figures can be
reached.
From the actual point of view the Einhell group looks forward to
realise  sales of about 400 million Euro for the year 2007 (excluding
weka Holzbau GmbH).  This consolidation of the group structure should
lead to a further  stabilization  of the profit margin.
