München (Germany), November 22, 2016. The SKW Metallurgie Group (WKN SKWM02 / ISIN DE000SKWM021), globally leading provider of primary and secondary metallurgic solutions for the steel industry, continues to evaluate several promising approaches for a sustainable financial restructuring of the Company, and is optimistic to develop, together with the financing banks, a sustainable solution by the end of the year. With respect to the dissemination by shareholder MCGM GmbH dated November 21, 2016 concerning their declared intention to participate in a potential capital increase, Supervisory Board and Executive Board of SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG explicitly welcome the general willingness to acquire significant numbers of shares of the company in the context of capital measures. However, Supervisory Board and Executive Board have to state that confidential information is brought from the Supervisory Board of the Company to the public by MCGM GmbH. Sole Managing Director of MCGM GmbH is Dr. Olaf Marx, who at the same time is a member of the Supervisory Board of SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG. Media campaigns against SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG involving confidential information are on the one hand contrary to duty, and on the other hand disadvantageous for the process of a careful examination and evaluation of all options, oriented at the good of the Company, and for discussions with potential partners. Moreover, confidential discussions in the corporate bodies are being obstructed. Dr. Marx was already mid-year a party to legal issues in the Supervisory Board of SKW Stahl-Metallurgie AG. In the interest of the Company, the proceedings were at the time concluded by the resignation of Dr. Marx from the office of Chairperson of the Supervisory Board, which took place subsequent to a revocation from that position by the competent court. Supervisory Board and Executive Board of SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG regret that Dr. Marx is once again causing frictions in supervision and management of the Company, and reserve the right to further action in this matter. The aforesaid notwithstanding, no one will accept any pressure by MCGM campaigns when restructuring and solving the financial situation; rather, a professional solution in the interest of the Company and all involved stakeholders continues to be developed.
