MAINZ, GERMANY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2001

PrimaCom AG (Neuer Markt Frankfurt, "PRC"/ID No. 625910; Nasdaq: PCAG) announced today that it has further expanded its customer base through the acquisition of three cable operators, Tele-Kommunikationsgesellschaft mbH Eisenhuttenstadt, Grossgemeinschafts-Antennenanlagen Lizenz- und Betriebs GmbH, and Telekommunikations GmbH Kirchheimbolanden. The Company has also increased its shareholding in a fourth company, PKG Heidenau, to 100 percent. The transactions combine to increase the Company's subscriber base by approximately 15,900. PrimaCom now has slightly over 1,000,000 customers in Germany and 300,000 in Holland.

By acquiring a 51% stake in Tele-Kommunikationsgesellschaft mbH Eisenhuttenstadt, PrimaCom has gained approximately 10,000 additional customers. The city council approved the acquisition by a large majority when it met on January 24, 2001. Only the municipal supervisory office still needs to give its approval. This transaction will enable PrimaCom to provide the whole of Eisenhuttenstadt with cable television (approximately 17,000 connected customers altogether). In the key area of Berlin/Brandenburg, PrimaCom now has about 170,000 subscribers.

The purchase of Hanover-based Grossgemeinschafts-Antennenanlagen Lizenz-und Betriebs GmbH, which has approximately 4,200 subscribers, provides PrimaCom with a stronger foothold in Lower Saxony. The acquisition of Telekommunikations GmbH Kirchheimbolanden in Rhineland-Palatinate provides PrimaCom with an additional 1,700 customers, bringing the Company's total subscribers in this key region to approximately 130,000.

PrimaCom also continued to strengthen its market position in the greater Dresden area. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company has increased its stake in PKG Heidenau from 80% to 100%. PKG Heidenau has approximately 3,200 subscribers.

In addition, as previously reported, PrimaCom recently agreed to a new provisional agreement with RTL, RTL II, Vox and RTL NEWMEDIA for a wide-ranging co-operation in digital TV and new media, starting with the simulcasting of the programmes of RTL, RTL II, Super RTL and Vox on PrimaCom's broadband networks in both analogue and digital formats. This successful start to 2001 strengthens still further the market position of Germany's fourth largest cable network provider and brings a little closer its vision of an interactive media world.

"PrimaCom's growth is proceeding to plan on all levels", said Alexander Hoffmann, Director Investor Relations, PrimaCom AG. "On the one hand we are strengthening our market position through the acquisition and integration of networks and companies. On the other, we are constantly upgrading our cable networks to 862 MHz. This enables us to offer our customers digital television with outstanding picture and sound quality, interactive pay per view TV (IPPV) and high-speed Internet access. Through the co-operation agreement with RTL as a professional content provider we will be able to further optimize the interactive package we provide to our customers."
