Standard Market Auction
segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange, signed a contract as of today's date to
increase its previous share in EBG Shenzhen Ltd., Shenzhen, China, by 30
percent from 25 to 44 percent, thus becoming the majority stakeholder in the

The joint venture is between Miba AG, the local industrial park (SSIP) and the

electronics components, among other things. EBG Elektronische Bauelemente GmbH
entered the joint venture in the late 1980s; Miba AG took over those shares in
2010.

frequency converters or in modern medical technology. The company generates
annual sales revenue of EUR 10 million and employs a staff of 200.
