ALNO AG secures follow-up financing

ALNO AG of Pfullendorf has secured follow-up financing from its principal
banks. ALNO AG's principal banks have affirmed to extend their main credit
commitments within a company’s master plan for an unlimited period of time.
Previously, the credit lines were scheduled to expire on March 31, 2009.
The Executive Board can now proceed with its profitable growth strategy
after the nearly complete reorganization of the Group. The Executive Board
remains committed to the target of having the ALNO Group turn its
first-ever operating profit since 2005 (EBIT before restructuring charges)
in the current 2008 financial year. Last year, it reported a loss of EUR
23.4 million.
