plenum AG:
plenum passes resolution for capital increase to further expand its
consulting business

Wiesbaden, 8 June 2007 – The management board of plenum AG (Prime Standard,
ISIN DE 0006901002) passed a resolution, with the approval of the
supervisory board, for a capital increase. The capital increase shall take
place against a cash contribution from authorised capital with pre-emptive
rights to stockholders at a ratio of 4.39:1. The price per share is EUR
1.14.

2,180,000 new bearer shares will be issued in the form of non-par shares
with a share in capital of Euro 1.00 each. The pre-emptive period runs from
13 June through 26 June 2007. Non-designated shares shall be offered to
selected investors by way of private placement. The transaction will be
handled by VEM Aktienbank AG.
plenum AG's key executives shall participate in the capital increase.

These capital measures are part of the company's growth strategy initiated
at the beginning of 2007, which focuses on the following key points:

1. organic expansion of consultancy capacities in the German core market
2. rounding off of the consulting spectrum via planned acquisition of
   consulting firms
3. gradual internationalization of the company in line with the client's
   requirements.

The management board continues to confirm the outlook for 2007.
Accordingly, growth in Management Consulting is anticipated at about 20%
(prior year: 26%). Consequently, revenues are expected to total EUR 26.5
million.
Earnings are expected to include a rise of about EUR 1.4 million over the
previous year resulting in EBIT of EUR 0.5 million (prior year: minus EUR
0.9 million). Starting in 2008, average growth of 10 % and a gradual rise
in the EBIT margin to 12 % are anticipated.
