Ad hoc Notice
Villeroy & Boch AG - Safety Campaign by our Dutch Subsidiary
Mettlach, 24 October 2007  -  Villeroy  &  Boch  AG  announces  that 
its  Dutch subsidiary Ucosan B.V. is about to launch  a  safety  
campaign  in  relation  to accidents caused by heavy falls.
With earlier versions of certain bath models made from  Quaryl®,  a  
heavy  fall could lead to injuries caused by  cracks  in  the  
material  under  unfavourable circumstances. This is why a safety 
campaign is now being launched.
The expenses in connection with Ucosan's safety campaign might  
exceed  EUR 1m and thus have a negative effect on the annual result 
of the Villeroy & Boch Group.
There is no such risk as mentioned above in relation to the Quaryl®  
baths  that are currently being manufactured. Consumers and  our  
market  partners  will  be informed about the above safety campaign 
by way of notices, press  releases  and announcements on the 
Internet.
