Delisting Announcement • Jan 10, 2012

Brussels, 10 January 2012 – 05:45 pm CET www.recticel.com

Recticel intends to close its production site in Bladel (The Netherlands).

Recticel b.v. (The Netherlands) yesterday announced its intention to streamline its flexible foam operations in the Netherlands by closing its comfort foam converting unit in Bladel by mid-2012.

The planned redeployments affect 51 employees. Together with the trade unions, the best possible social support measures will be sought.

The estimated costs of closure, which to a great extent are included in the results of the fourth quarter of 2011, are largely neutralised by the expected capital gain on the sale of assets.
