VOGT electronic AG and Sumida are planning a domination agreement

Obernzell, July 25, 2008

VOGT electronic AG was informed today by the Sumida Corporation that it is intended to start with preparations for the conclusion of a domination agreement between Sumida VOGT GmbH, a wholly-owned group company of the Sumida Corporation, as controlling enterprise and VOGT electronic AG as controlled enterprise. The management board of VOGT electronic AG welcomes this intention and will start with the preparations.

The terms and conditions of the domination agreement, in particular the amount of the guaranteed dividends for the minority shareholders and the amount of the cash compensation for the minority shareholders who choose to sell their shares in VOGT electronic AG to Sumida VOGT GmbH in return for cash compensation, will be determined and agreed upon within the next months. The parties involved will review whether it makes sense to also include in the agreement an obligation on the part of VOGT electronic AG to transfer its profit to Sumida VOGT GmbH.

The agreement requires the consent of the shareholders’ meeting of VOGT electronic AG.
