Rumours are circulating in the market that United Internet AG will soon
offer its share in the joint venture with Drillisch AG, MSP Holding GmbH,
to Drillisch AG based on a put option. The price for Drillisch AG shares
came under massive pressure today as a result of this market rumours which
have no factual basis.

Although Drillisch AG generally does not comment on market rumours, it
appears appropriate to clarify the following: The right to exercise the
call and put options relating to the shares in MSP Holding is subject to
various conditions.

These conditions are not met and will not be triggered by an acquisition of
debitel AG by freenet AG.

Drillisch AG does not expect that the conditions for the exercise of the
call and put options will be met in the foreseeable future. This is in
accordance with the agreements between the joint venture partners and also
reflects their mutual understanding.

The existing market rumours have no factual basis whatsoever.'
