With the engagement of UniCredit Markets & Investment Banking as additional
designated sponsor, besides small cap specialized Close Brother Seydler,
Aragon, listed on the Entry Standard at Deutsche Börse, strengthens its
presence in the capital market starting 1. August 2007. Designated sponsors
ensure tradability of the sponsored stocks through immediately executable
buy and sell orders within Xetra. This is expected to increase liquidity of
the Aragon shares.

Aragon is preparing the transition into the Prime Standard by the end of
this year. A high liquidity in the run-up of the changeover will support a
seamless transition into the Prime Standard.
