Company Information


Blaubeuren (euro adhoc) - Blaubeuren, October 12, 2012 - centrotherm
photovoltaics AG today submitted its reorganization and future concept as
planned to the District Court of Ulm. The concept is decisive for the future of
the Group. After being examined by the court, the insolvency plan will be
presented to creditors in the next step, who will then decide on whether to
accept it in a separate discussion and voting meeting.

"Our aim is maintain centrotherm as an independent company based on this plan
and to guide it towards a successful future. Ultimately this would benefit
everyone involved in the process," says the company's own administrator Tobias
Hoefer.
 
If the plan, which aims for the highest possible satisfaction of creditors, is
then accepted by the creditors and confirmed by the court, the proceedings can
be terminated in line with the regulations of the German Act Relating to the
Further Simplification of the Reorganization of Companies (ESUG), and the German
Insolvency Directive (InsO). centrotherm photovoltaics AG could then operate
again on a solid basis on the market as a reorganized company and on a fully
independent basis.

The same applies for the subsidiaries centrotherm thermal solutions GmbH & Co.
KG and centrotherm SiTec GmbH, which are currently engaged in their own
proceedings and for whom insolvency plans have also been submitted to the court
on time.

Insolvency creditors of the named companies are able to register their
receivables to the court-appointed administrator by November 5 in order that
they participate in the continued process and are able to decide on the approval
of the insolvency plans. The court has appointed the lawyer Prof. Dr. Martin
Hörmann from the anchor Rechtsanwälte legal firm, Ulm, as centrotherm
photovoltaics AG's administrator. The lawyer Alexander Reus, also from anchor
Rechtsanwälte, has been appointed administrator for the subsidiaries centrotherm
thermal solutions GmbH & Co. KG and centrotherm SiTec GmbH.
