transtec decides upon cash-capital increase of 1.3 Mio EUR

Tübingen, December 12th 2001.
transtec increases capital. The board and supervisory body of the transtec AG
have decided on friday (Dec. 07, 2001) on a cash capital increase from
authorized capital under exclusion of the purchase rights. 255.645 new shares
will be issued to the named owners of no-par shares with a registered capital
share of 3 EUR.

The issue amount has been fixed at 5,05 EUR for each share, 10 cents above the final rate on Xetra on the day of the decision deadline but also above the average final rate of the last 60 stock market days (4,91 EUR).

The capital increase will be 100% underwritten by the TL Investment GmbH, which
belongs 100% to the company founder and chairman, Bernhard Bruscha. The stake
that is directly or indirectly owned by Bernhard Bruscha increases through the cash capital increase of 3.6% to 67.65%. Bruscha herewith demonstrates his confidence as an investor in the future of the organization. transtec's equity capital rate is now by 40% (37,8%).

By pursuing the further realisation of the companies strategy, the additional funds gained by the cash capital increase (+1.3 Million EUR), will now broaden the financing basis of the company. Despite a difficult IT market situation transtec has been successfully able to position itself in both server- and and high quality storage solutions, in the Linux and Microsoft areas, and to promote their status as an independant hardware manufacturer in Europe.
