Re: Thielert Situation Update


Over the past 10 days, Diamond senior management has been working diligently in an
attempt to achieve a workable solution for DA42 and DA40 tdi owners on parts support and
warranty. We had a face-to-face meeting with the insolvency administrator on Friday, May
9th, and several subsequent telephone conversations, the latest on Friday, May 16th.

Unfortunately, the results have not been positive, and we need to share with you what
clearly is a very disappointing update.

Overall, we have the impression that the insolvency administrator is not able to nor
interested in providing a path forward which makes current TAE engine operators and
owners a priority. Instead, we are left with no choice but to conclude that their agenda is at
odds with ours and yours, and that we will likely not get a workable solution from working
with TAE and the administrator until after the end of preliminary insolvency, presumably in
July.
