Rotterdam, 14 March 2008 – On 13 March 2008, Hunter Douglas announced its intention to offer to purchase up to 13.4 million common shares at €43.00 by means of a public offer.

Certain media misinterpreted this bid as meaning that Hunter Douglas intends to delist its shares. However, Hunter Douglas would only consider delisting in the near future if virtually all minority shares are tendered.
