Ad-hoc message from plenum AG: plenum sells stoll & fischbach agency

Wiesbaden, 28/09/2007 – plenum AG (ISIN DE 0006901002) announces that the
sale of the agency plenum stoll & fischbach GmbH to Gerhard Fischbach and
Heinz Stoll announced in the ad-hoc release of 17 September has taken
place as planned as a management buy-out.

Having sold plenum stoll & fischbach, plenum is a pure consulting company
again. Close cooperation was agreed between the buyers and plenum in the
fields of marketing strategy and Customer Interaction Management (CIM)
allowing customers to access the service spectrum of both companies.

The negative effects on earnings caused by the agency business will thus
not continue in the 4th quarter. On the contrary, by concentrating on the
highly profitable business of management consulting, the gross margin will
continue to improve (15% in the first half year, 2006, 29% in the first
half year, 2007) and will affect EBIT accordingly.

The sale itself will have a positive effect on the result of plenum AG for
the business year 2007. Both sides have agreed to be bound to secrecy about
details of the sale.

The company will publish more forecasts in the report dealing with the 3rd
quarter.
