ROULARTA MEDIA GROUP (RMG) will attend the Midcap Event, which will be held in Paris this coming 28 and 29 September. This event serves as a meeting point between institutional investors and the top managers of small and medium size listed European companies. More than 130 listed European companies are expected to attend, in addition to close to 350 representatives of institutional investors and 10 major brokers. During the two days of the event, investors will meet individually with representatives of the companies in attendance. RMG will be represented at the meeting by Rik De Nolf, CEO of RMG. ROULARTA MEDIA GROUP is a Belgian-French publishing and printing firm with a diversified portfolio of interests in free local press, magazines (business and consumer), a regional newspaper, radio an both regional and national television. The company was incorporated in 1954 by solicitor Willy De Nolf and is now led by his son Rik De Nolf and his management team. During the 2005 financial year, RMG obtained a consolidated turnover of 500 million euros, a gross operating profit (EBITDA) of 56 million euros and a net profit of 22.2 million euros. The number of employees is more than 3,000. In the 2006 financial year RMG expects a consolidated turnover of 750 million euros due to the acquisition of the people magazine Point de Vue and Groupe Express-Expansion. Groupe Express-Expansion produces a number of France's leading magazines in a range of sectors: current affairs (L'Express), economics and finance (L'Expansion, Mieux Vivre Votre Argent, L'Entreprise), housing and lifestyle (Maisons Côté Sud, Maisons Côté Ouest, Maisons Côté Est, Maison Magazine, Maison Française), culture (Lire and Classica) and education (L'Etudiant). RMG is continuing to build its multimedia future. Home and abroad. In the past the growth was mainly a matter of in-house, repeatedly new initiatives. Over the past decades RMG has launched most of the free papers, created the different Belgian news magazines and a series of specific niche magazines, and was co-responsible for launching TV channels. Over the past five years, and especially in 2005 and 2006, the growth has been the result of a foreign take-over and concentration policy. Today the RMG magazines department achieves a greater turnover abroad than in Belgium. In the future RMG wants to keep innovating but also grow further through foreign acquisitions.
