CeWe Color Holding AG / Dividend Release 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CeWe Color dividend of EUR 1.20 for the 2006 financial year Oldenburg, 13 March 2007 – In its meeting of today, the Supervisory Board of CeWe Color Holding AG (SDAX, ISIN: DE 0005403901) unanimously resolved to propose a dividend payment of EUR 1.20 for the 2006 financial year at the annual General Meeting of the company to be held on 26 April 2007. Almost the full sum of balance sheet profit for the 2006 financial year is to be paid out; the company’s own shares are not eligible for dividends. In 2005 CeWe Color had already paid out a dividend of EUR 1.20. The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board share the opinion that the shareholders should benefit adequately from the success of the company and they are also convinced that this aim is being fully met with the proposed dividend payment. At the same time, however, the ability and the financial flexibility of the company in terms of successfully maintaining the current course of action into the digital age, which needs to be pursued with investments and acquisitions, must not be hampered by special dividend payments. Given this background, a dividend payout on the basis of reversing reserves, as required by a few hedge funds, is not justifiable. The reserves are indispensable in securing the future of the company.
