manroland Auditor Reports Progress

manroland AG Insolvency Administrator Reports Promising Negotiations: The prospects of a successful investors’ agreement for the insolvent manroland AG have improved further. Auditor Werner Schneider of the law firm of Schneider, Geiwitz & Partner reported conducting numerous negotiations with interested parties in the past few days. “We now have parties seriously interested in all three production sites in Augsburg, Offenbach and Plauen (Germany), with whom we are involved in ongoing negotiations,” Schneider said, elaborating on the current status. The ultimate aim continues to be the selling of key company segments by the end of the current insolvency proceedings on Jan. 31, 2012, in order to ensure continued operations and to save as many jobs as possible. Given the promising interest of potential buyers, this remains a feasible aim.
