Kropfmühl, Germany, October 19, 2012 --- On October 17th 2012 the commercial register of the local court Munich filed the note regarding the resolution of the annual general meeting of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft from August 27th 2012 to transfer the shares of the minority shareholders of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft in connection with a merger of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft into AMG Mining AG in return for adequate cash compensation in the amount of EUR 31,92 per share and the merger of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft into AMG Mining AG in the commercial register of the company.

Today the merger of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft into the major shareholder became effective via the registration in the commercial register of AMG Mining AG. Therefore Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft ceased to exist. Name and trademark are retained via the wholly owned subsidiary GK Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH. The resolution of the annual general meeting from August 27th 2012 regarding the transfer of the shares held by the minority shareholders to the majority shareholder in return for a cash compensation in the amount of EUR 31,92 per share in accordance with § 62 subsection 5 of the German Transformation Act (Umwandlungsgesetz) in connection with § 327a et seq. of the German Stock Companies Act (Aktiengesetz) came into effect simultaneously with this registration in the commercial register. For this reason all shares of the minority shareholders of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft have been transferred to the major shareholder at the same time.

The trading in shares of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft will be suspended shortly. Stock exchange dealings taking place in the meantime are only trading in cash compensation claims of the minority shareholders.
