Kabel Deutschland Files Form 15F to Deregister in the United States Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

UNTERFOEHRING, Germany, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Kabel Deutschland GmbH ("KDG"), a 100% owned subsidiary of Kabel Deutschland Holding AG, today announced that it has filed a Form 15F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") with the intention of voluntarily terminating the registration of its euro 250 million 10.750% Senior Notes due 2014 and its $610 million 10.625% Senior Notes due 2014 (collectively, the "Notes"), which are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG, under section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

KDG expects that this termination of registration will become effective 90 days after its filing with the SEC. KDG will continue to serve investors with transparent financial reporting, however, as result of this filing, KDG's reporting obligations with the SEC, including its obligations to file annual reports on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K, will immediately be suspended.

KDG is current with its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, but its Notes have never been listed, traded or quoted on any stock exchange in the United States.

In determining to terminate the registration of its Senior Notes under the Exchange Act, KDG believes that the administrative burdens and costs associated with being a SEC registrant and the time and costs associated with preparing SEC filings and meeting SEC regulatory requirements far outweigh the benefits derived by KDG or its investors.
