systaic AG / Strategic Company Decision 19.01.2010 Dissemination of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. =-------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Future business focus to lie on large-scale integrated photovoltaic plants * Enerparc AG to become external project partner Over the past business year systaic AG, Düsseldorf, has continued to expand its expertise in the development and construction of greenhouses with roof-integrated solar systems. The first projects for the agricultural industry have already been implemented. 'In future the main interest of investors will not lie in conventional photovoltaic open-space installations. It will tend towards integrated solutions,' Michael Pack, Chief Executive Officer of systaic AG, is convinced. 'In response to the changed demand situation SYSTAIC has lost no time in shifting its emphasis to solar-integrated industry solutions'. systaic AG is thus implementing its strategy of concentrating on integral solar systems in the industrial solutions sector as well. In the past business year it has consistently developed the corresponding know-how. In order to do justice to the growing importance, from the business year 2010 onwards the former business unit 'SYSTAIC Solar Power Plants' is to be renamed 'SYSTAIC Industrial Solutions'. Major projects will continue to be the main source of revenue of systaic AG in the next few years. For this reason total revenue and operating profits from this sphere of activity without minority interests are to remain to the full extent in the group. In addition, the value chain was revised, as the variabilisation of costs is one of the main factors of success in project-oriented structures. For this reason the SYSTAIC Executive Board has decided to convey its complete share in Enerparc AG, which has hitherto functioned in the SYSTAIC Solar Power Plants sector, to the Enerparc management. Future collaboration will be realised on the basis of a co-operation agreement which will also cover current projects. Thus all projects in the SYSTAIC Industrial Solutions sector will be handled by systaic AG or its foreign subsidiaries. About systaic AG systaic AG specialises in efficient and aesthetic solar solutions. Its core product is the pioneering SYSTAIC ENERGY ROOF for buildings which generates electricity and heat from solar energy. The SYSTAIC Automotive business area is worldwide the only series manufacturer of solar solutions for the roofs of different makes of car. The development and installation of integrated industry solutions is a further focal point in its portfolio. systaic AG was founded in November 2004. It has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since March 2007 and in the Prime Standard segment since September 2008. Currently the company has over 200 employees.
