According to its Annual Report filed with the SEC for fiscal year 2013: "During the disclosure period, Automatik Plastics Machinery GmbH ("Automatik"), a German affiliate of Maag Pump Systems, which we acquired on March 13, 2012, exported from Germany European-origin equipment used in the processing of polystyrene pellets and PET chip to two entities in Iran, Tabriz Petrochemical (“Tabriz”) and Shahid Tondgoyan Petrochemical (“Shahid Tondgoyan”), which we understand are owned or controlled by the Government of Iran.  All of the exports except one were made prior to August 10, 2012, the date of enactment of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”).  Automatik made two exports to Tabriz on February 24, 2012 and May 8, 2012, with total revenue and net profit values of €51,550 and €14,759, respectively. Automatik made three exports to Shahid Tondgoyan on March 6, 2012, July 19, 2012, and August 8, 2012 with total revenue and net profit values of €516,831 and €162,588, respectively. The only export made after the enactment of the ITRA was made to Shahid Tondgoyan on October 4, 2012, with a revenue and net profit value of €20,388 and €7,411, respectively. This last export was made prior to the October 9, 2012 date of the Presidential Executive Order that made it a violation of U.S. law for owned or controlled foreign subsidiaries after October 9, 2012 to knowingly engage in transactions with the Government of Iran or any person subject to the jurisdiction of the Government of Iran.  For most of these exports, Automatik received official written confirmation from the German Government that it did not require a license under German law and for the others it received oral confirmation no license was required.  Automatik also received a payment in November 2012 for a prior order that was not shipped and will not be shipped in the future. Given the SEC guidance that issuers should disclose all activities, including those taking place prior to ITRA's enactment on August 10, 2012, we are including all exports by Automatik Germany to government entities in Iran during 2012.  Management has instructed all of the Company's non-U.S. affiliates not to engage in any trade transactions with Iran."
