In accordance with the notification of the Financial Market Authority, Commerzialbank Mattersburg im Burgenland AG (Commerzialbank Mattersburg) was prohibited by official decree from continuing its business operations with immediate effect and an auditor was appointed as Government Commissioner (see FMA website). The bank is thus also prohibited from paying out deposits. As of today, Frequentis holds deposits of approximately EUR 31 million with Commerzialbank Mattersburg. Frequentis monitors the situation very closely and evaluates the situation to secure its rights.

As of 30 June 2020, Frequentis Group holds deposits of more than EUR 56 million with other banks, particularly in Austria and other European countries as well as in Asia and the Americas.

Immediately after the circumstances became public at Commerzialbank Mattersburg, Frequentis Group examined possible effects on customers, suppliers, ongoing projects, and employees - from Frequentis perspective, there are no impacts.
"The operating business at Frequentis is continuing at the usual level. Despite the Corona crisis, we are working to full capacity with orders. At the end of June 2020, we hold more than EUR 56 million in deposits with other banks," says Frequentis CFO Sylvia Bardach. "We also have unused credit lines."
