Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, 14 May 2008.
Today the shareholders of Teleplan International N.V. (Prime Standard,
ISIN: NL0000229458) held their Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Amsterdam.
All proposals of the agenda of the AGM were approved with great majority
and documented the strong support from all shareholders. Following the
complete sale of all shares formerly held by Absolute Capital Funds the
shareholders structure as reported to the Company now shows an increased
free float of more than 46%.
The AGM among others decided on the approval of the Annual Accounts 2007
and on the increase of the authorized share capital of the Company. The new
authorized share capital will amount to EUR 16,250,000 divided into
65,000,000 shares. Currently, 59,837,859 shares of the Company are issued
and outstanding. Each share is an ordinary bearer share with a par value of
EUR 0.25 and carrying full dividend rights. The management prepares to play
an active role in the consolidation process of the industry.
As a result of increased business volume and a stringent focus on operating
efficiency EBITDA increased to EUR 6.2 million, up EUR 1.2 million compared
to the first quarter 2007. Accordingly the EBITDA margin amounted to 8.0%
versus 7.7% in 2007.
Efficiency improvements and substantially lower costs resulting from the
transition from high-cost to low-cost countries will continue in 2008 and
contribute to sustainable profit growth. New contracts are currently being
negotiated and concluded with some of the Companys key customers. Finally,
Teleplans focus on rising efficiency as well as growth in all three of its
segments through its technological expertise, quality service and world
class execution should enable the Company to continue gaining market shares
despite of uncertain economic developments.

General Shareholders Meeting will also be available under: www.teleplan.com
