Capacity expansion at HAHN (industrial business)

• Since acquisition in summer 2016 HAHN's annual sales increased by almost 50% to more than €30m
• To support further growth, the adjacent production facility has been acquired for €4.2m (agreement in late FY18, payment in FY19, machinery/production equipment installed)
• Size of the new facility: c. 3.5k sqm, thereof c. 2.5k sqm production area (in addition to the existing production area in the Hahn facility of c. 5.1k sqm)
• New facility will allow an increase of HAHN's annual production capacity in Aichwald (near Stuttgart, Germany) by around 50%

• Cash balance decreased as a consequence of the acquisitions (purchase price payment) and the €24.7m dividend payment in Feb 19
