31.03.2014

In an ad-hoc statement made on September 5, 2012 via euro adhoc,
C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN AT0000613005) announced the signing of
a purchase agreement for the acquisition of the UK Fund Management
Company BCM for a purchase price of approximately EUR 13,400,000,
subject to an amendment that may result in an increase or decrease in
the purchase price of up to 30 % after 3 ¼ years, depending on the
operating results.

Due to the sustained positive economic development of the BCM group
since the acquisition in late 2012, the Management Board has decided
upon approval by the Supervisory Board today, to shorten the
contractually relevant period for a possible amendment of the
purchase price and to pay the resulting increase of the purchase
price to the Seller in consideration of a discount in 2014.

Vienna / Frankfurt, 05.09.2012. In an Ad-hoc Announcement issued on
2.07.2012 via euro adhoc C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN AT0000613005)
gave notice of the possible acquisition of BCM Group, a UK Fund
Management Company, the strategic considerations and basic points of
the planned transaction (purchase price, intended use of its treasury
shares, purchase price adjustment mechanism).

Today the share purchase agreement regarding the contemplated
transaction has been entered with Laakman Holding Ltd. The purchase
price amounts to approximately EUR 13,400,000 and is subject to an
amendment in 3 ¼ years that may result in an increase or decrease in
the purchase price of up to 30 % depending on the operating results.
According to the share purchase agreement inter alia C-QUADRAT's
treasury shares will be used as acquisition currency. The share of
used treasury shares amounts to 3 % of C-QUADRAT's share capital and
therefore equals approximately 30% of the agreed purchase price. In
the event of breach of contractual warranties and / or
indemnifications caused by the sellers, the sellers may under certain
circumstances be entitled to fulfill their obligations through a
(re-)transfer of the shares in C-QUADRAT to C-QUADRAT, also exceeding
the number of treasury shares initially received from C-QUADRAT, or
the transfer of the proceeds from the sale of such shares.

Among others the acquisition is subject to the approval by the UK
Financial Services Authority (FSA), London.

Furthermore, the consummation of the transaction is conditional upon
the supervisory board approval of the utilization of the treasury
shares under exclusion of the subscription right. The respective
report of the management board regarding the intended sale of
treasury shares including the exclusion of the subscription right
pursuant to § 171 (1) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)
will be published on C-QUADRAT's website within the next days. The
required approval of the supervisory board may be given two weeks
after the report's publication at the earliest.

The parties aim at completing the transaction during Q4 2012.
