In the first half of 2008 the consolidated result after taxes was about EUR -18.5 million. At the same time HCI Capital AG has today succeeded in renewing important financing agreements and in negotiating with its principal creditors a comprehensive, multi-stage restructuring concept. The objective is an exemption of the HCI Group from all of its major contingent liabilities to banks. It is subject, among other things, to all of the banks affected agreeing to the terms.
