Press Release
Extraordinary General Meeting of HamaTech AG approves merger with SINGULUS
TECHNOLOGIES Aktiengesellschaft
Kahl am Main, December 18, 2007- The Extraordinary General Meeting of
HamaTech AG (HamaTech) yesterday approved the merger agreement concluded
between HamaTech AG and SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Aktiengesellschaft (SINGULUS)
on October 31, 2007. According to the merger agreement, HamaTech
shareholders will receive two SINGULUS shares for every nine HamaTech
shares.
SINGULUS controls over 91 % of the nominal capital of HamaTech. The merger
paves the way for the full operational integration of the two companies.
The cost benefits will decisively boost the international competitiveness
of the SINGULUS Group. The two companies are a good match because of their
respective strengths in the various optical disc formats, and will now be
able to offer their customers an extended product range and an enhanced
service. The merger of SINGULUS and HamaTech is the basis for becoming the
technology and market leader for all optical disc formats, and particularly
for the new formats Blu-ray/HD DVD , for high-resolution (HDTV) television
programmes. The merger will take effect along with entry on the Commercial
Register.
By acquiring the STANGL solar company in July 2007, SINGULUS gained a
foothold in the rapidly growing solar industry. STANGL alone expects annual
double digit growth rates. SINGULUS' many years of experience in building
inline systems will also prove beneficial for the company's own future
developments in the solar sector. A new coating system for crystalline
silicon solar cells is to be launched in conjunction with Stangl in 2008.
The new coating system will help to generate further growth.

acquisition of STANGL AG. The new Solar Division will be expanded rapidly
over the next few years.
