Ludwig Beck am Rathauseck-Textilhaus Feldmeier AG / Key word(s): Change in Forecast 13.10.2010 14:15 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Munich, October 13, 2010 - In the 3rd quarter of 2010, LUDWIG BECK AG (ISIN DE 0005199905) succeeded in spurring the growth dynamics of the first half of the year. As a result of the highly positive business development which exceeded all expectations in the first nine months of the year 2010, the Executive Board of the LUDWIG BECK Group has for the second time upgraded its earnings forecast for 2010. Based on the preliminary figures for the first nine months of 2010 the company is now expecting earnings before taxes on income (EBT) to exceed EUR 7.5m in the full year 2010 instead of EUR 7.0m as had been forecast. Even though the fiscal year 2009 could be concluded with all-time record results, the management anticipates clearly surpassing past successes in the current fiscal year 2010. The 43.5 % EBT increase from EUR 4.4m to EUR 6.4m generated in the fiscal year 2009 was the best result ever achieved in the company's history. The final figures for the first nine months of the year 2010 will be published by the company on October 21, 2010.
