Dear Customer,

The AH1N1 flu pandemic is now considered as a serious risk in Europe.

To minimize the impact of the pandemic on its service to customers, MACtac EUROPE has set up a dedicated working group to solve the potential problems.

Our Business Continuity Planning document describes all the measures which have been taken by our Group.

The main precautions taken can be summarized as follows :

 the key functions of the Company have been carefully identified and fall back positions have been organized to guarantee customer service continuity.

 Company staff have been instructed to avoid contamination, take the necessary hygiene precautions and use the special material ordered
(masks, antiseptic gel, etc...).

 similar measures will also be applied to visitors. When and where needed only business critical visitors will be allowed to have access to our plants and offices.

Please be assured that MACtac Europe does all in its power to keep the risks under control and guarantee business continuity.

We thank you for your business.

Patrick Parisi

Safety Officer
