Background to the capital increase:


On 9th February 2006, SHS Informationssysteme AG resolved to acquire Viveon

will be covered by the capital increase against contribution in kind in the
amount of EUR 983,284.00, which was resolved on 9th February 2006. The cash
capital increase which was resolved today serves to finance the cash
component and the transaction and integration cost of the acquisition.

portfolios and the industry expertise prevalent on both sides. We expect

deliver numerous synergies and innovative momentum for our company.'
