July 22, 2011 at 15.00 (EET)


Elcoteq SE has today (July 22, 2011) filed the application for controlled
management under the laws of Luxembourg to secure continuation of the Company's
current operations and to allow the outside investor to finalize the
contemplated transaction. Some of Elcoteq SE's affiliates will apply for similar
procedures in respective jurisdictions.

The revolving credit facility lenders have continued their enforcement actions
against the Company and its affiliates and such actions are severely damaging
the current operations of the Company as well as its customers and other
creditors. The Board of Directors has initiated investigations concerning the
legality of the revolving credit facility lenders' and their advisors' actions
towards the Company since 2008.
