('SQS' or the 'Company')
Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
SQS has today published a notice of and invitation to an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") to be held at the Company's offices at Sophienstrasse 5 in 51149 Cologne, Federal Republic of Germany, on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 at 10 a.m. (local time), to consider proposals to re-elect Prof. Dr. Werner Mellis and Jeremy John Hamer to the supervisory board and to amend the Company's articles of association.
Under German Law SQS must have one representative of the employees and two representatives of the shareholders on the supervisory board as it now employs more than 500 people in its German legal entity. The term of office of the current supervisory board members is due to expire on completion of the EGM and therefore it is necessary for the two shareholder representatives to be formally re-elected. The process also requires an amendment to the Company's articles of association.
The invitation and full details of the proposed resolutions can be viewed on the Company's website at www.sqs-group.com.
