The operation solidifies the long standing relationship between MBFG and Itochu and provides MBFG a partner with unparalleled expertise and distribution capabilities in Japan and in other countries in the Far East.
The operation is contingent on the finalization of the acquisition of control of Coccinelle. The acquisition of 51 percent control in Coccinelle by Antichi Pellettieri, announced on February 24th 2006, is expected to be finalized in mid-April, with the approval from the Austrian and German antitrust authorities.

AP represented 31 percent of 2005 consolidated group revenues and 33 percent of consolidated group EBITDA in 2005. With the acquisition of Coccinelle, AP will generate 40 percent of group revenues.
