As already reported, Semperit Group is involved in three arbitrations
against its Thai joint venture partner, Sri Trang-Agro Industry
Public Co Ltd. Group and the joint venture company Siam Sempermed
Corporation Ltd. (SSC), respectively.

A final award was rendered in favour of Semperit in the arbitration
proceeding against the joint venture partners concerning the
possibility to pass board resolutions with a reduced quorum. The
arbitral tribunal decided that the Sri Trang Group nominated
directors of SSC cannot and may not block SSC's decision-making and
also the Casting Vote of the Semperit nominated Chairman, by not
participating in board meetings.

Further, the joint venture partners are ordered to bear the costs of
the arbitration proceedings and of the ICC Court and to reimburse to
Semperit an amount of approximately EUR 2.8 million. In case the
joint venture partners do not comply with this final award,
enforcement proceedings may become necessary. Semperit will, for the
time being, not change the current method of consolidation (at
equity) in relation to SSC.
