Mergers - Acquisitions - Takeovers
30.09.2014


The contract signed between Magnesit Anonim Sirketi, a Turkish subsidiary of RHI
AG, and the Turkish Cihan Group on April 7, 2014 for the acquisition of a raw
material plant and mining rights in Erzurum, Turkey, (see ad hoc release of
April 7, 2014) provided for different contractual conditions for the final
fulfillment of the transaction (closing). 

Although the deadline was repeatedly extended, several of these contractually
defined conditions were not met. Consequently, the transaction was not closed at
the expiry of the long stop date on September 30, 2014. The RHI Group will not
extend the long stop date for the closing again and not pursue the transaction
any further.
