Statement
23.11.2009
Following an article published in today´s edition of the German 
journal FOCUS (page 130 ff, FOCUS issue no. 48 dated 23 November 
2009), which conveyed the false impression that Bank Sarasin & Co. 
Ltd had supposedly "secretly purchased Douglas shares on behalf of Mr
Mueller", Bank Sarasin sees it necessary to issue the following 
statement in order to set the record straight:
Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd has consistently met its legal disclosure 
obligations. As recently as 22 July 2009, Bank Sarasin notified the 
German financial services regulator, BUNDESANSTALT FUER 
FINANZDIENSTLEISTUNGSAUFSICHT, and DOUGLAS Holding AG that it owns 
10.80 % of the voting right in DOUGLAS Holding AG as part of its own 
shareholdings. This notification was published both by the German 
financial services regulator and DOUGLAS Holding on their respective 
websites. Bank Sarasin´s purchase of the shares in question in 
DOUGLAS Holding was therefore neither done secretly nor on behalf of 
Mr Müller or any other third party. The fact is, Bank Sarasin 
acquired its stake in DOUGLAS Holding on its own account and in order
to hedge positions in its trading book.
