Meinl: Simple calculation proves allegations are false

Vienna (OTS) – For the alleged damages of EUR 6.4 bil-lion for Meinl European Land, Meinl Bank refers to a simple calcula-tion that clearly demonstrates the absurdity of the allegations made against Julius Meinl: If the alleged damage of EUR 6.4 billion is di-vided by the number of certificates of MEL (now known as Atrium), i.e. 212 million, there would be a damage of EUR 30 for each certifi-cate. In fact, MEL’s highest rate was EUR 21.40. This alone quite clearly demonstrates that the allegations are false. And it does not even take into account the fact that every certificate holder from Atrium has still an interest in a healthy company with EUR 1.25 billion in cash assets and EUR 2.5 billion in properties. Peter Weinzierl, member of the Managing Boarf of Meinl Bank, comments: "It is incredible that allegations that are so obviously false were made public without anyone questioning them. This shows the effect that the prejudgement has already had in this case."
