Hamburg, 25 July 2013: The directors of the operational entities within the
Praktiker Group that operate the Max Bahr stores in Germany (Max Bahr
Entities) have informed the Management Board of Praktiker AG that a
positive continuation forecast for the Max Bahr Entities was denied, after
a trade credit insurer did not continue to provide the agreed insurance
coverage to the suppliers of the Max Bahr Entities. As a consequence, the
steady supply of goods to Max Bahr stores is no longer guaranteed.
Therefore, the directors of the Max Bahr Entities will shortly make an
application to the competent Local Court Hamburg for insolvency proceedings
to be opened for reasons of overindebtedness and a lack of liquidity.
It is currently intended to carry out an insolvency plan procedure.
The following entities within the Praktiker Group are affected by the
insolvency proceedings: Baumarkt Max Bahr Geschäftsführungs GmbH, Baumarkt
Max Bahr GmbH & Co. KG, Baumarkt Max Bahr Warenhandels GmbH, Baumarkt MB
Vertriebs GmbH.
The Praktiker Group's international operations remain unaffected by these
insolvency proceedings.
