    Giesecke & Devrient Halts Deliveries to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe

    MUNICH, July 2/ PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

    The Management Board of Giesecke & Devrient GmbH,
    Munich, today decided to cease delivering banknote paper to the Reserve Bank
    of Zimbabwe with immediate effect.

    The company has taken this step in response to an official request from
    the German government and calls for international sanctions by the European
    Union and United Nations.

    "Our decision is a reaction to the political tension in Zimbabwe, which
    is mounting significantly rather than easing as expected, and takes account
    of the critical evaluation by the international community, German government
    and general public," explains Dr. Karsten Ottenberg, Chairman of the
    Management Board and CEO of Giesecke & Devrient GmbH.

    In delivering banknotes and banknote paper, Giesecke & Devrient is
    subject to strict rules defined by the World Bank. The company continues to
    rely on the political and moral assessment provided by international trade
    regulators.
