Pfleiderer’s Pergo Bid Reaches Acceptance Level

Neumarkt, Germany, February 26, 2007--On January 15, 2007 Pfleiderer recommended a cash offer for all shares in Pergo AB. The offer is, among others, conditional upon the acceptance of the offer by at least 90 per cent of the share capital in Pergo.

On the basis of the still ongoing analysis of the acceptance statements it is already certain that Pfleiderer has reached the 90 per cent threshold during the acceptance period and that all other conditions have also been fulfilled. Therefore, the offer is now unconditional and Pfleiderer will initiate mandatory redemption proceedings.
