BME, società che si occupa dello sviluppo di dispositivi in grado di sfruttare il moto delle maree e di produrre energia grazie alle correnti oceaniche, è stata scelta per partecipare alla terza edizione della conferenza sulle tecnologie per l ambiente, CleanEquity Monaco 2010, la vetrina più importante per le aziende che operano nel settore delle tecnologie pulite ed ecologiche (Cleantech) . La conferenza si terrà il 4 e 5 marzo allo Sporting d Hiver di Monaco . Altri partner locali includono la fondazione del Principe Alberto II di Monaco, Monte Carlo SBM e la fondazione filantropica Stelios . Tra i collaboratori dell evento per il 2010 si possono menzionare Arup, Covington and Burling LLP, il Gruppo Hugin, Invest Securities, Royal Philips Electronics NV e l UNEP FI . Plenary sessions, led by sector experts, will discuss and identify key industry themes, drivers and constraints, as well as forward looking trends . After successfully testing on scale, Eric Geutjes, CEO of BME is proud to present its BME Marine Turbine 4 MW and the BME Marine Turbine 60 MW design at CleanEquity . This is a great opportunity for us to present our profitable technology for renewable power generation at large scale by using ocean currents . Mr . Geutjes will discuss our technology, the possibility of implementing the BME marine tidal system on a global scale and future possibilities . At CleanEquity Monaco 2010 an expert selection of the world s most inspiring CleanTech companies will be presenting to invited industry-specific financial and strategic investors, policy makers, legislators and media . BME is honoured to be part of the 2010 CleanEquity Conference . About BMEBME is a new Dutch based company that has taken on the challenge to come up with an innovative system to generate energy from currents that are under the influence of ebb and flood . BME has developed a Marine Turbine system that makes the generation of energy, by means of tidal currents, economical viable by using seawalls to funnel the currents to a vertically mounted rotor . This way the Blue Motion system can increase the efficiency of the Marine Turbine up to 70 percent and generate 15 MW average and 60 MW maximum . The BME Marine Turbine is current direction independent by capturing the current from all directions, 360 degrees around . This unique almost permanent operating system (20 hours per day, 365 days a year) is capable of large scale tidal energy production . The Marine Turbines are placed at approximately 20 km from the shore and can generate substantial power, even at locations with a lower flow velocity (min . of 0,3 m/s) . It is the second most predictable system for generating energy from renewable resources (1st = Geothermal heat) . It does not pollute the horizon and one 60 MW BME Marine Turbine can generate the same amount of energy equal to 25 windmills while using less space . Investments needed for this system are much lower than the investment needed for a series of windmills generating the same amount of power . The world is increasingly looking to the ocean as a power source and with this innovative system we come closer to realizing this opportunity .

(1) A dati comparabili: i dati del 2009 sono stati riclassificati ai tassi di cambio del 2008(2) Nel 2009, escluso un onere non ricorrente di 1,9 milioni di euro nel quarto trimestre e nell esercizio(3) Partite non ricorrenti del cash flow libero: esborso di 0,5 milioni di euro nel quarto trimestre e di 0,7 milioni di euro nell esercizio 2009 (0 milioni di euro nel quarto trimestre 2008 e 1,6 milioni di euro nell esercizio 2008)(4) Al 31 dicembreParis, February 11, 2010 . Today, Lectra s Board of Directors, chaired by André Harari, reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements for the full year 2009 . (Detailed comparisons between 2009 and 2008 are like-for-like . )Q4 2009: Orders Recover StronglyOrders for new software licenses and CAD/CAM equipment (E17 . 8 million) are distinctly higher than for the first three quarters of 2009 (E10 . 4, E10 . 6 and E11 . 3 million, respectively) . They were up 22% overall compared to Q4 2008, confirming the first positive signs noticed in September . Sales of spare parts and consumables are also on the rise, up 5% relative to Q4 2008, versus a 22% decline for the first nine months of the year, reflecting a progressive return to output growth in Lectra s customer firms . Q4 2009 revenues (E42 . 6 million) are down 7% . Revenues from new systems sales (E17 . 5 million) were down 13% . Recurring revenues (E25 . 1 million) decreased by 2% . Income From Operations Before Non-Recurring Items and Free Cash Flow Exceed ExpectationsIncome from operations before non-recurring items was positive at E2 . 6 million, due to the combined effect of a slight rebound in activity, an improvement in margins, and the cost-cutting measures initiated at the beginning of the crisis and further reinforced throughout the year . Fixed overhead costs, before non-recurring items, amounted to E25 . 4 million, a reduction of E4 . 2 million(-14%) . Further initiatives to reorganize and optimize resources were taken at the end of 2009 to improve the company s key operating ratios in 2010 . These initiatives add up to an aggregate non-recurring charge of E1 . 9 million . They will further reduce the Group s fixed overhead costs by E3 . 1 million in a full year . The company registered a positive net income of E0 . 6 million, slightly up compared to 2008, at actual exchange rates . Free cash flow was positive at E2 . 0 million, after E0 . 5 million in non-recurring disbursements . The International Arbitral Tribunal Awards Lectra E25 . 3 millionOn October 28, 2009, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (with hearings in London) notified the parties of the award in the arbitration initiated in June 2005 by Lectra against Induyco, the former shareholder of Investronica Sistemas . Induyco has since opposed to the payment of the award and obtained an interim order in Spain temporarily suspending operation of the first demand guarantees it had provided to Lectra (Lectra has appealed against this decision) . Induyco also commenced proceedings in Spain, challenging Lectra s demand under the demand guarantees, and in the U . K . , challenging the award . Lectra considers both court actions to be entirely without merit and intends to mount an aggressive and vigorous defense of its rights, and to seek recovery of the amounts due to it under the award . In view of these new proceedings, the award of E 25 . 3 million has not been recognized in the 2009 financial statements, and the accounting methods applied to the arbitration procedure, as adopted at December 31, 2008, remain unchanged . As all costs incurred by Lectra at the date of the award have already been paid in full, the execution of the arbitral decision will result in a cash inflow equal to the total amount of the award, i . e . , E25 . 3 million (plus interest since the date of the decision) . Receipt of the award would enable the company to halve its existing debt . 2009: A Year Dominated by the Consequences of the Financial and Economic CrisisMany companies suffered a brutal deterioration in their situation, with revenues tumbling as economic activity decreased sharply . This forced them to cut costs, drastically in many cases, and to freeze all their investment decisions . Many had to close plants, and some went out of business . The company was severely affected by its customers difficulties and more generally by global macroeconomic conditions . Particularly Weak Business ActivityAfter falling 31% in 2008, orders for new software licenses and CAD/CAM equipment (E50 . 1 million) suffered a further identical fall in 2009 . Orders for new software licenses dropped 28%, and those for CAD/CAM equipment were down 32% . The decline was 53% relative to 2007 . Revenues ended the year down 23% at E153 . 2 million, at actual exchange rates as well as like-for-like relative to 2008 . Revenues from new systems sales (E56 . 2 million) fell by 41%, while recurring revenues (E97 million) declined by 7% . The order backlog for new software licenses and CAD/CAM equipment at December 31, 2009 (E12 . 9 million) increased by E3 . 7 million relative to January 1 . Most of this increase is a result of orders booked in the fourth quarter . Income from Operations and Net Income Hold Up Well - Free Cash Flow Highly PositiveThe overall gross margin worked out to 70 . 7% . Like-for-like, it came to 70 . 6%, up 3 . 8 percentage points relative to 2008 . Total overhead costs were E111 . 1 million, down E15 . 4 million (-12%) compared to 2008 . These figures exclude the non-recurring charges expensed in Q4 2009 . Despite the economic crisis, the company continued to invest significantly in research and development . Income from operations before non-recurring items was negative at E2 . 8 million . On a like-for-like basis, the loss was negative at E2 . 9 million, down E9 . 9 million relative to the positive income from operations in 2008 . Given the scale of the decrease in revenues from new systems sales, and despite their unusual decline, recurring revenues continued to play their role as a key stabilizing factor in Lectra s business model, acting as a cushion in periods of economic slowdown . Net loss was E3 . 6 million (compared to a net income of E3 . 2 million in 2008) . This loss does not permit payment of a dividend in respect of the year in review . Re-affirming its confidence in the future, the Board of Directors intends to propose to the shareholders to resume its dividend payment policy as soon as its financial condition permits . After E0 . 7 million in non-recurring disbursements, free cash flow was positive at E9 . 3 million . Business Trends and OutlookSeveral signs appeared to point to the beginnings of an improvement at the end of 2009, confirming the forecasts of most observers of an upturn in activity and a more or less pronounced return to growth as early as 2010 . The rebound in orders in Q4 enabled the company to end the year on an optimistic note and gives grounds for hope, but it should be borne in mind that orders were still down 37% relative to Q4 2007, the last year before the onset of the crisis . At the time of this press release, macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain . The unprecedented scale of the economic and financial crisis has perhaps not yet ceased to influence the situation of national economies and businesses alike, and the ending of some significant measures taken by most governments in their stimulus plans could weaken activity in certain sectors . Like 2009, 2010 could therefore be a difficult one for Lectra, as for many companies around the world, pending confirmation of a lasting improvement in macroeconomic conditions . Visibility remains limited and uncertainty persists, calling for continued great vigilance . 2010 Outlook(The figures for 2010 are based on the assumption of an average parity of $1 . 50/E1 used for the 2010 budget, and changes are like-for-like compared to the 2009 results translated at the exchange rates used for 2010) . As in 2009, the action plans for 2010 were developed after exploring every possible form of action capable of lowering the company s breakeven point, by cutting its fixed overhead costs, safeguarding its margins, raising its security ratio (i . e . , the coverage of annual fixed overhead costs by gross margin on recurring revenues), and continuing to generate significant positive free cash flow . The requisite fundamental measures have been implemented, some of them with effect as of January 1, 2010 . The main uncertainty for 2010 concerns the level of revenues from new systems sales . Given the order backlog at January 1, expected changes in the product mix in orders for new software licenses and CAD/CAM equipment, and the forecast level of recurring revenues, the company would exceed its breakeven point (i . e . , achieve a positive net income) if orders for new software licenses and CAD/CAM equipment grew by more than 20% relative to 2009 . In that case, orders would make good 18% of the gap between their level in 2007, before the crisis, and 2009 . The corresponding revenues would amount toE163 million and income from operations to around E3 million . The company has opted not to formulate estimates for the 2010 outlook, given the lack of visibility . Macroeconomic conditions in the first half of 2010 are expected to remain impaired and orders for new software licenses and CAD/CAM equipment persistently weak, although it is impossible to estimate the extent of this weakness . First-quarter income from operations is expected to be slightly negative or close to breakeven . In an optimistic scenario, the economy, and hence sales activity, could bounce back in the second half of the year . Overall, unless economic conditions deteriorate further in 2010 compared to 2009, income from operations and net income should be positive . Finally, free cash flow should exceed income before tax . On February 3, 2010, the company hedged its exposure to the U . S . dollar for the first quarter ($1 . 40/E1) . Once the crisis is over, firms in the different geographical and market sectors served by the company will presumably need to acquire the technologies they require to boost their competitiveness . The crisis has amplified the challenges they face . Lectra customers should also begin to catch up on investments frozen or shelved for the past two years . The company remains confident in the strength of its business model and its medium-term growth prospects . As reiterated last year, Lectra has consistently demonstrated its resilience during difficult periods in its history . Its prime objective is therefore to emerge strengthened from the current economic crisis . First quarter earnings for 2010 will be published on April 29 . The Annual Shareholders Meeting will take place onApril 30, 2010 .

Milano, 11 febbraio 2010 - Il Consiglio di Amministrazione della Recordati S . p . A . ha esaminato i risultati consolidati preliminari dell esercizio 2009 . Il progetto di bilancio e la relazione sulla gestione saranno sottoposti per approvazione al Consiglio di Amministrazione del 5 marzo 2010 . Principali risultati consolidati- I ricavi consolidati, pari a E 747,5 milioni, sono in incremento dell 8,4% rispetto all anno precedente . Le vendite farmaceutiche ammontano a E 720,6 milioni, in crescita del 9,4% e comprendono quelle di Yeni Ilaç, acquisita a fine 2008, e di Herbacos-Bofarma acquisita a gennaio 2009 . La crescita è determinata prevalentemente dalle vendite farmaceutiche internazionali (+11,5%) . Le vendite farmaceutiche in Italia crescono del 4,5% . Le vendite della chimica farmaceutica, pari a E 26,9 milioni, sono in contrazione del 13,8% . Nel 2009 le vendite internazionali del Gruppo sono cresciute del 10,6% e rappresentano il 71,5% dei ricavi . - L utile operativo è pari a E 162,2 milioni, in incremento del 12,1% rispetto all anno precedente, con un incidenza sui ricavi del 21,7% . Le spese di ricerca e sviluppo sono in crescita del 18,0%, raggiungendo il 9,3% dei ricavi . - L utile netto, pari a E 110,6 milioni (+10,1%), cresce in misura inferiore alla redditività operativa per la svalutazione prudenziale della partecipazione nella società statunitense PureTech Ventures LLC - specializzata in investimenti in società start-up dedicate a nuove terapie, dispositivi medici e nuove tecnologie di ricerca - per adeguarla al valore del patrimonio netto corrispondente . - La posizione finanziaria netta* al 31 dicembre 2009 evidenzia un debito netto di E 19,7 milioni, in riduzione di E 61,3 milioni rispetto al 31 dicembre 2008 nonostante l esborso per l acquisizione della società farmaceutica ceca Herbacos-Bofarma a fine gennaio e la distribuzione di dividendi per E 49,3 milioni nel mese di aprile . * Investimenti finanziari a breve termine e disponibilità liquide, al netto dei debiti verso banche e dei finanziamenti a medio/lungo termine, inclusa la valutazione al fair value degli strumenti derivati di copertura (fair value hedge) . Commenti sulla gestione"Il 2009 è stato caratterizzato dalla crescita dei ricavi e degli utili e da importanti iniziative per lo sviluppo futuro del nostro Gruppo" ha dichiarato Giovanni Recordati, Presidente e Amministratore Delegato . "Sono stati innanzitutto siglati importanti accordi di licenza con primarie società farmaceutiche per la commercializzazione di silodosina, nuovo farmaco indicato per il trattamento dei sintomi dell iperplasia prostatica benigna (IPB), appena approvato dalla Commissione Europea per la commercializzazione in Europa . È inoltre proseguito il lancio in nuovi mercati della nostra nuova specialità farmaceutica per il trattamento dell ipertensione, l associazione fissa di lercanidipina con enalapril . Il nostro nuovo prodotto è ormai commercializzato in 13 paesi . Prosegue infine positivamente l iter registrativo negli Stati Uniti di Carbaglu®, per il quale si prevede di ricevere l approvazione nel corso del 2010 . La nostra eccellente posizione finanziaria," ha proseguito Giovanni Recordati, "permette, anche nel 2010, di continuare nella nostra strategia di espansione, sia attraverso l acquisizione di nuovi prodotti, sia nell acquisizione di presenze in nuovi mercati . Per quanto riguarda i risultati economici dell esercizio in corso, il 2010 risentirà della concorrenza dei generici della lercanidipina il cui brevetto è scaduto nel mese di gennaio . Prevediamo quindi di realizzare ricavi di circa E 700 milioni, un utile operativo di circa E 140 milioni e un utile netto di circa E 95 milioni, sostanzialmente in linea con le previsioni già annunciate a dicembre 2008 .

1 Constant and adjusted: at comparable scope of consolidation and exchange rates, and excluding the non-recurring effect related to changes in copper-based cables price; an extract of financial statements is presented in Appendix2 Before interest and tax paidJean-Charles Pauze, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO, said:"In a very challenging 2009, Rexel demonstrated the resilience and adaptability of its business model and delivered on its objectives . Sales came in within our targets, and Rexel s ongoing efforts to adjust its cost base allowed us to limit the impact of the economic slowdown on our margins . Rexel also continued to deleverage its balance-sheet and increased its financial flexibility through the recent bond issuance and rearrangement of Senior Credit Agreement . In 2010, Rexel will build on these dynamics to reinforce its leadership and improve its profitability by capturing new market opportunities, upgrading its business model, continuing to enforce cost discipline and generating solid free cash flow . "Financial Review for the period ended December 31, 2009Unless otherwise stated, all comments are on a constant and adjusted basis and, for sales, at same number of working daysOrganic sales drop reduced to 13 . 7% in the fourth quarter & full-year sales of E11 . 3bn, in the high range of guidanceIn the fourth quarter, Rexel recorded sales of E2,904 . 7 million, down 13 . 7% year-on-year on a constant basis and same number of working days . The organic decline in the quarter is reduced compared to a fall of 20 . 2% in Q2 and 19 . 4% in Q3, benefiting from a favourable base effect, as the economic environment started deteriorating in Q4 2008 . At constant copper prices, sales would have decreased by 13 . 6% . Full-year sales amounted to E11,307 . 3 million, down 12 . 1% year-on-year on a reported basis; they included E851 . 8 million from acquisitions net of divestitures (mainly Hagemeyer impact on Q1) and a positive currency impact of E27 . 2 million . On a constant basis and same number of working days, sales were down 17 . 2% and down 14 . 4% at constant copper prices . The drop in sales reflects very challenging economic conditions across all end-markets, as well as a reduction in the number of branches as Rexel continues to streamline its network (the closure of 197 branches over the last 12 months is estimated to have reduced sales by 2 . 8%) . Europe (59% of sales): in the fourth quarter, sales were down 8 . 4% after a 16% fall in Q2 and a 14% fall in Q3 . As in Q3, Germany posted a robust performance, with sales up 0 . 6%, supported by sales to industry and sales of solar energy applications . France also recorded satisfactory performance with sales down by 4 . 9% compared to an 11% fall in Q2 and a 12% fall in Q3 . Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Norway also performed better than European average in the quarter . Full-year sales amounted to E6,705 . 1 million, down 12 . 8% compared to 2008 . France, which represents one-third of European sales, remained more resilient (-8 . 3%) than the average of the region . Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Norway also posted single-digit decline in sales compared to the previous year . Rexel estimates it outperformed the market in most countries in 2009, and particularly in its main markets of France, the UK and Germany, which accounted for close to 60% of European sales in the year . North America (29% of sales): in the fourth quarter, sales were down 26 . 2%, slightly improving on Q2 and Q3 (-30% in each of the quarters) . This slight improvement came from the United States (-30 . 1% vs . -35% in Q2 and in Q3), due to signs of bottoming out in the residential segment at the end of the year, while sales in Canada (-14 . 6%) remained impacted by lower industrial activity in Ontario and by the slowdown of oil-sands and related projects in Alberta . Full-year sales amounted to E3,315 . 4 million, down 27 . 0% compared to 2008 . The United States (-31 . 4%) was impacted by the low level of residential construction while several industrial sectors (steel, oil & gas and paper mills) and commercial end-market weakened during the year . Branch closures accounted for a 4 . 3 percentage-point drop in sales over the year . In Canada, sales were down 11 . 3% but Rexel estimates it outperformed the market over the year . Asia-Pacific (8% of sales): in the fourth quarter, sales were down 5 . 0% after a 9% fall in Q2 and a 10% fall in Q3 . In Australia (-10 . 5%), sales remained impacted by the drop in projects and the slowdown of residential, industrial and mining markets . Operations in China (which represented 19% of sales in the region) continued to perform strongly (+25 . 8% after +10 . 3% in Q2 and +22 . 3% in Q3), reflecting the country s economic dynamism and robust sales in the automation, energy and rail sectors . Full-year sales amounted to E847 . 7 million, down 7 . 0% compared to the previous year . Growth in China (+16 . 8%) partly offset sales drops in New-Zealand and Australia where Rexel estimates it outperformed the market . Other (4% of sales): in the fourth quarter, sales were down 7 . 6% after a 20% fall in Q2 and a 19% fall in Q3 . Full-year sales amounted to E439 . 1 million, down 15 . 2% compared to 2008 . Fourth-quarter EBITA margin improved sequentially to 4 . 9%, thanks to cost reduction, and full-year EBITA margin stood at 4 . 0%, reflecting increased resilience over the yearIn the fourth quarter, EBITA[2] margin improved to 4 . 9% (after 3 . 0% in Q1, 3 . 6% in Q2 and 4 . 4% in Q3) . This sequential improvement reflects the effectiveness of the cost-cutting measures implemented since the beginning of the year (distribution and administrative expenses in the quarter represented only 19 . 4% of sales, the lowest level since the beginning of the year) as well as an improvement in gross margin (24 . 4% in the quarter) . Reported EBITA in the quarter reached E150 . 3 million, up 20% compared to the fourth quarter of 2008 . Full-year EBITA margin stood at 4 . 0% compared to 5 . 3% in 2008 . The year-on-year margin drop of 130 bps, when compared to the 17 . 2% organic decline in sales, demonstrates the Group s strong ability to improve the resilience of its business model (8 bps reduction in EBITA margin for each 100 bps of sales drop) . This performance was achieved in a very challenging economic context through:A 20 bps gross margin improvement, driven by better purchasing terms and a favourable product and country mix in Europe;A E285 million reduction in distribution and administrative expenses representing 11% of the 2008 cost base (this net reduction includes synergies from the integration of Hagemeyer, which were in line with Rexel s objectives) . Net income impacted by restructuring expensesIn the fourth quarter, net income was a profit of E34 . 4 million compared to a loss of E62 . 5 million in the same period of 2008 . Full-year 2009 net income was E81 . 0 million compared with E231 . 5 million in 2008, which included gain on disposals of E118 . 1 million . Other income and expenses amounted to a net charge of E134 . 3 million, including E115 . 3 million of restructuring costs and E18 . 1 million of goodwill impairment (related to operations in Slovakia, Ireland and Finland);Net financial expenses amounted to E203 . 1 million compared to E210 . 3 million in 2008; this decrease is mainly driven by both reduced average debt and lower interest rates between the two years, despite the increased margin on Senior Credit as from August, 1st . The 2009 net financial expenses also included E21 . 2 million non-recurring costs following the July amendment and December refinancing of Rexel s Senior Credit . Recurring net income for the year amounted to E166 . 3 million compared with E317 . 3 million in 2008 (see table in Appendix 4) . Strong free cash flow reflecting substantial reduction in working capitalFree cash flow before interest and tax[3] increased by 11% in the year 2009 to E879 . 7 million, reflecting:- A E471 . 6 million cash inflow related to a reduction in working capital;- Selectivity in capital expenditure which was contained at E51 . 1 million, representing 0 . 45% of sales (compared to E88 . 2 million in 2008, representing 0 . 69% of sales) . After E149 . 3 million of net interest paid and E52 . 7 million of income tax paid, free cash flow stood at E677 . 7 million, a 38% rise compared with 2008 . Significant net debt reduction of E531 millionNet debt was reduced to E2,401 . 2 million at year-end 2009, compared with E2,932 . 0 million at year-end 2008 . Net financial investments during 2009 represented an outflow of E45 . 9 million, including E4 . 7 million for the acquisition of 63 . 5% of Xidian (China), E3 . 6 million for the increase, from 51% to 70%, of the Group s interest in Huazhang (China), E27 . 2 million for the buy-out of Hagemeyer minority interests and E10 . 1 million representing the net effect of earn-out and price adjustments on previous acquisitions . At December 31, 2009, the Indebtedness Ratio (adjusted consolidated net debt to adjusted consolidated EBITDA of the last 12 months) stood at 4 . 32x, below the 4 . 50x threshold, thus reducing by 50bps the margin applicable to the Senior Credit Agreement as from January 1st, 2010 . Strengthened financial structureIn December 2009 and January 2010, Rexel fully refinanced its E2 . 7bn Senior Credit Agreement (maturity 2012, of which E2 . 1bn were drawn) through:- The issuance of E650 million Senior Unsecured Notes (maturity 2016),- The implementation of a new E1 . 7bn Senior Credit Agreement (maturity 2014), whose main characteristics are described in Appendix 5,- The use of available cash . In December 2009, Rexel also extended the maturity of its US securitization programme by 2 years, up to December 2014 . Through these operations, Rexel has strengthened its financial structure by extending its debt maturity, reducing excess cash and increasing its financial flexibility . OutlookIn 2009, Rexel delivered on its priorities, increasing the resilience of its business model through strict cost control and measures to protect margins, as well as deleveraging the Group and strengthening its financial structure . In 2010, in an environment that will remain challenging, Rexel expects full year 2010 to post:low single-digit drop in sales (after the 17 . 2% decline recorded in 2009), on a constant and same-day basis,improvement in full-year adjusted EBITA margin over the 4 . 0% recorded in 2009,free cash flow before interest and tax of around E400 million .
