PRESSEMITTEILUNGEN

(pressebox) Berlin, 08.12.2008 – SOLON, a solar technology company located in Berlin, has been converted to a European Company (Societas Europaea, or SE). The Company is now called SOLON SE and was registered in the Commercial Register as of December 2, 2008.

This makes SOLON one of six companies from the Regulated Market (Prime Standard) of the German Stock Exchange to adopt the legal form of the European Company to date. It has been possible to do so since the end of 2004.

The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting approved the conversion to a European Company by a wide majority on June 24, 2008. At the start of November, worker representatives and the SOLON Management Board signed a related employee-management agreement.

"SOLON is an internationally operating company," stated CEO Thomas Krupke. "As a European Company, we will be able to operate as a single legal entity within the EU together with our subsidiaries in Germany, Austria, and Italy. This will facilitate cross-border transactions and strengthen our position in the European market."
