Insights into the Annual General Meeting 2001 ...

The first ordinary general meeting of IM Internationalmedia AG met with lively interest amongst the around 450 shareholders and business journalists and analysts attending.

To set the mood at the general meeting of the Internationalmedia Group, the corporate trailer was played at the start, which provides an insight into the corporate culture and highlights the company's vision.

The event was subsequently officially opened by the chair of the supervisory board Mrs Hiebeler-Hasner. This was followed by a corporate presentation by the CEO Florian Bollen and the statements on the financial details by the CFO Andreas Konle. During the round of questions and answers, among others, Mr Schmitt (German Protective Association For Small Shareholders) and Mr Jaeckel (German Protective Association for Security Holdings) took advantage of this opportunity to pose questions of current interest to the chief officers. The majority of questions referred to the financial aspects, while others related to the business model and the film industry in general.

The chief officers Florian Bollen and Andreas Konle answered the questions in a concentrated and precise fashion. Following this round of questions and answers, the ten items on the agenda were voted on. The waiting period was used to show clips from some of the films Internationalmedia has just finished shooting, including clips from "K-19: The Widowmaker" starring Harrison Ford, "The Quiet American" with Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser and "K-Pax" starring Kevin Spacey.

At the end of this meeting that lasted around 3 ½ hours, the actor and member of the supervisory board Hugh Grant went into the audience and gave well over 100 autographs. To round off the meeting, there was an opportunity to talk to the chief officers, members of the supervisory board and staff in the foyer of the Reithalle, where refreshments and a light snack were served, accompanied in the background by the latest cinema hit from Internationalmedia "The Wedding Planner".

General praise was uttered from those attending for the smooth running of this entirely stylish event and for the thoroughly convincing company presentation.
