Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG: Joint statement by Management Board and Supervisory Board - Seite 3

The Busch Group's statements aim to give the impression that Pfeiffer Vacuum's Management Board has ruled out any talks about possible cooperation with the Busch Group. This impression is false. When the Busch Group began to acquire a stake, Pfeiffer Vacuum offered repeatedly to hold talks and actually held talks on several occasions. Among other things, it was agreed that Mr. Beck, as a confidant of the Busch Group, would join Pfeiffer Vacuum's Supervisory Board. Then, after the decision to submit the present offer was published, another discussion was held - at the behest of Pfeiffer Vacuum - between Pfeiffer Vacuum's Management Board and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and the Busch Group. Yet again, this conversation yielded no outcome.

To this day, the Busch Group has not even begun to outline a suitable scheme as to what form a possible concrete cooperation between the two companies would take.


Pfeiffer Vacuum is strategically, technologically and financially in a very good position to profit from the growth potential in the vacuum industry as an independent enterprise, and to offer shareholders attractive long-term prospects upon the strength of its own resources. Moreover, the company has announced that it will review further options to realize, in the best way possible, these prospects for the shareholders.
