NIREUS S.A. wishes to announce according to 5/204/14.11.2000 decision of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission the following: On 18/07/2007, the Board of Directors of the Company has been informed by the international auditing company Deloitte, that after the latter has applied its inter-company procedures taken in order to accept the appointment of auditor to NIREUS S.A. together with the auditing company S.O.L. S.A. (following pertinent decision on 8-5-2007, from NIREUS S.A. General assembly), it has occurred that one company of Deloitte Group, namely DELOITTE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS S.A. had offered (with participation of auditors of Deloitte), at the end of 2006, consulting and valuation services regarding the take over by NIREUS S.A. of a third company, and therefore, according to article 12 of Law 3148/2003 together with the inter-company rules and code followed by Deloitte in order to ensure the independence of its auditors before it undertakes the auditing of any company, Deloitte cannot undertake the provision of auditing services to NIREUS S.A. before the passing of 2 years from its previous business collaboration with NIREUS S.A., as mentioned above. NIREUS S.A. has informed the Ministry of Development and the investment public for the above developments, while the Company Synergazomenoi Orkotoi Logistes (S.O.L. A.E.O.E.) will be the auditor of NIREUS S.A. for fiscal year 2007. The Board of Directors is conserving its wiliness to propose for approval -through all the legitimate procedures- the appointment of a second, international auditing company, strongly believing that such an act would be most appropriate, since it coincides with the needs of NIREUS in order to become a worldwide producer, as also with the desire of increased participation of foreign investors to its share capital.
