Conergy: Capital increase, Liquidity strengthened, Change in Board of
Management, Examination of balance sheet valuations
Hamburg, 7th November 2007 - Conergy, Europe's largest solar power 
company has strengthened its financial strength through an inflow of 
funds of EUR 100 million.
The company´s founder and chief executive Hans-Martin Rüter will 
leave the company after the publication of the results for the first 
nine months (12th November 2007) on 15th November. Until a successor 
has been appointed, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Dieter 
Ammer, will become interim Chief Executive Officer.
A short-term shortfall in liquidity has developed following Conergy´s
strong growth. This tight short-term liquidity situation has now been
eliminated on a sustainable basis through an inflow of funds of EUR 
100 million. This includes an additional credit line of EUR 30 
million with a term expiring at the end of February 2008. The 
remaining EUR 70 million will come from a capital increase decided by
the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board. In detail, the 
company's Management Board and Supervisory Board decided on 6th of 
November to issue new equity in the amount of EUR 70 million. Under 
exclusion of shareholders' subscription rights, this capital increase
was subscribed by members of the Management Board and the Supervisory
Board and family members ("existing shareholders") and by Leemaster 
Ltd., which is controlled by Dr. Otto Happel.
In the course of the capital increase, the company has issued 
2,088,929 new shares at a price of EUR 33.51 (equal to the average 
share price over the last five trading days). Leemaster has initially
acquired a share of 4.25 percent and has also been granted options by
the existing shareholders to acquire additional shares up to a stake 
of 25.1 percent. The option exercise price is considerably less than 
the current share price.
The outlook for the current year is subject to a critical examination
of the balance sheet valuation principles of Conergy AG as well as to
the results from various working groups, which are currently 
analyzing the Conergy´s business areas. In this context, the German 
Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (FREP) has informed Conergy 
that it will examine the accounts for 2006 and for the first six 
months of 2007.
