Borken, 20 March 2015

Today, the Management Board of PETROTEC AG with registered office in Borken, ISIN DE000PET1111, has resolved, with the approval of the supervisory board, to file an application with the Frankfurt stock exchange as the stock where PETROTEC AG's shares are listed in the sub-segment (Prime Standard) of the official market segment, for revocation of admission to the regulated market (so-called delisting).
After approval of the application for revocation of the admission by the Frankfurt stock exchange, PETROTEC AG's shares would then no longer be traded on any regulated market of any stock exchange. Currently the management board of PETROTEC AG is expecting the shares not to be traded any more on any regulated market six months after the revocation decision of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange has been published.
