Kirn, 5/11/09. SIMONA AG has reached a decision to close its Würdinghausen
production facility at the earliest possible date due to significant losses
incurred by the plant. Prior to making its decision, the company had
entered into intensive and substantive negotiations with both the works
council and the trade union; these efforts also included the involvement of
an independent appraiser. The closure will affect 78 members of staff
responsible for producing pressed sheets, profiles and finished parts at
the facility, mainly for customers operating within the mechanical
engineering and transport systems sector.

The product range manufactured at the company's plant in Würdinghausen will
be integrated into other existing SIMONA sites. SIMONA is currently in
negotiations with the works council and trade union concerning a
reconciliation of interests as well as a redundancy and retraining plan.

This ad hoc announcement supplements the ad hoc announcement issued on 13
August 2009.
