Hugin Ad-hoc-Meldung nach § 15 WpHG: Akquisition: Funkwerk AG: Funkwerk acquires Information Technologies division from Vossloh

Kölleda, 10 January 2007. Funkwerk AG (ISIN: DE 0005753149), the
specialist in professional communication systems, is improving its
market position in information technology for railway companies by
taking over the "Information Technologies" division of Vossloh . The
division will be acquired free from debt for a preliminary purchase
price of 8 mill. Euro. The purchase price is subject to adjustment
depending on the net working capital. The deal is contingent on the
approval of the Supervisory Board of Vossloh AG and the Federal
Cartel Office.

The acquisition of Vossloh Information Technologies (VIT) will
provide the Thuringian-based technology group with a sales volume of
around 40 mill. Euro for the current financial year. In the market
for information technology for transport companies, Funkwerk will
thus assume an active role and considerably improve its competitive
situation.
The three other VIT segments, "Planning and Simulation", "Operations
Control Systems" and "Signalling Technology", will further increase
the product portfolio of Funkwerk. Since these areas address the same
customer target groups as Funkwerk, there is reason to expect
significant synergy effects here. Funkwerk will integrate VIT in its
Traffic & Control Communication division and thus further accelerate
the internationalisation of its business.
