Bensberg, September 27, 2005 – Girindus AG, a company listed in the Prime Segment of the German Stock Exchange and specialized in process development and the production of innovative drug and cosmetic actives, has applied to change from the Prime Standard to the General Standard.

Now that Solvay Organics GmbH holds almost 75% of Girindus' shares after its public takeover offer, Girindus AG's Management Board today applied for revocation of its admission to the segment of the regulated market with additional admission obligations ("Prime Standard") with effect to December 31, 2005. This will not affect the company's admission to trading in the regulated market (General Standard).
