Norddeutsche Affinerie Aktiengesellschaft ('NA') has achieved the threshold

The acceptance period for the reopening of NA’s takeover offer for Cumerio
expired on Wednesday, 12 March 2008, at 4 p.m. German time. The threshold
of 95 % has been achieved, which will result, in compliance with the terms
of the offer document, in an automatic squeeze-out of all the remaining
shareholders and holders of warrants.

NA points out that the final outcome of the reopening of the takeover offer
will, however, not be published in accordance with Belgian law before
Saturday, 15 March 2008.

This notice does not constitute a notice given to the shareholders of
Cumerio in compliance with Belgian law or the terms of the offer document.
This notice also does not substitute any notice under Belgian law or in
compliance with the terms of the offer document. For this reason, no rights
