Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG: Deutsche Post AG will negotiate new cooperation treaty and cancelled existing manufacturer contracts by December 31, 2007
Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG / Contract/Alliance
Release of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by
DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
With the view to summarize the individual contracts into one cooperation
treaty Deutsche Post AG cancelled the existing manufacturer contracts with
Francotyp-Postalia GmbH and Francotyp-Postalia Vertrieb und Service GmbH.
In the sense of a strategic partnership the negotiations should be lead by
the idea of cooperation as for example in connexion with bilateral
marketing or communication measures. The cancellation was received on June
26, 2007 by both companies.
All existing approvals, rights of sales and charging standards for the
up-to-date franking machines are not touched by the cancellation. This
means that the cancellation will have no effect on models already
authorised or approved by Deutsche Post.
Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:
Deutsche Post AG has, according to Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG
information,
cancelled existing contracts with all franking machines manufacturers in
Germany with effect from 31 December 2007. Negotiations are already in hand
with a view to strengthening the relationship between Francotyp-Postalia
and Deutsche Post. The target is to establish a strategic partnership
between the two companies which would be mutually beneficial in the medium
to longer term in light of the forthcoming deregulation of the German
postal market.
'A new cooperation contract offers the possibility of intensifying customer
retention in the field of franking machines.' declares Hartmut Neumann, CEO
of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG. 'A future partnership with Deutsche Post
AG enables us to set up new attractive offers for franking machines and
enter new potential markets in the lower segment.'
The cancellation will have no effect on models already authorised or
approved by Deutsche Post and the renegotiated contracts will apply only to
new models which Francotyp may develop and bring to the market after 31
December 2007.
Through cooperation with Deutsche Post AG the Francotyp-Postalia expects to
see further growth in the coming years.
