Starting from December 28, 2009 equinet AG will provide additional liquidity in Xetra to improve the quality of trading and the pricing of Agroton Public Limited GDRs by putting quotes, i.e. limited bids and offers, into the Xetra system in accordance with the FSE rules and regulation.

In addition to the designated sponsoring, equinet AG will produce monthly reports, which give a survey of GDR price development in comparison to a peer-group and the whole stick market.

It is expected that permanent involvement of the Designated Sponsor and manual quotation will improve the quality of the order book and help to avoid excessive volatility in GDRs trading.
