Componenta's Döktas transaction completed

Componenta's acquisition of the shares of the Turkish foundry company
Döktas has been completed on 12 December 2006, when the conditions for
completion were fulfilled. In October 2006 Componenta signed an agreement
with Koc Group and related parties to acquire 55% of the shares and votes
of Döktas Dökümcülük Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., a listed iron and aluminium
casting component manufacturer. The equity value of the transaction
amounts approximately to EUR 89 million (USD 111 million). Componenta has
financed the acquisition with senior debt and capital notes.

The rest 45% of Döktas shares and votes are publicly traded on the
Istanbul Stock Exchange. Pursuant to applicable Turkish laws, Componenta
will make a mandatory tender offer for the remaining Döktas shares, but
aims to keep Döktas as a listed company.

Componenta and Döktas together form the second largest independent
European supplier of casting  components and advanced solutions. The
combined net sales of the companies in 2005 were EUR 552 million and the
amount of personnel is approximately 5,000 (incl. indirect employees).
Combining operations will lead to estimated EUR 10 million synergy
benefits by 2008.

The acquisition of Döktas will allow Componenta to provide customers with
a wide product and solution range based on technologically advanced
production. The acquisition follows Componenta's strategy to be market
leader in advanced cast components in Europe by 2010.
