Notice according to Art. 2 (1) of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052

Munich/Grünwald, 22 August 2018 - The Executive Board of AURELIUS
Management SE (the 'Executive Board') as the personally liable shareholder
of AURELIUS Equity Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) (the
'Company') resolved a share buyback program (the 'Share Buyback Program
2018') for an amount of up to EUR 20 million (excluding acquisition
expenses).

The Share Buyback Program 2018 is to be conducted under the authorization
of the Company's annual general meeting of May 18, 2018, according to which
the Company's own shares may be purchased for the purpose of retirement and
to satisfy subscription rights or subscription obligations related to
shares from convertible bonds. Within the Share Buyback Program 2018, it is
planned to buy back up to 400,000 of the Company's shares, in the time from
August 24, 2018 to August 31, 2019. The Executive Board has appropriated an
amount of EUR 20 million as the largest possible total purchase price for
the acquisition of shares of the Company (excluding acquisition expenses).

The share buyback will be carried out in accordance with the Safe Harbor
Rules defined under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the
European Parliament and of the Council dated April 16, 2014, in conjunction
with the provisions of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of the
Commission dated March 8, 2016.

In accordance with the authorization granted by the Company's annual
general meeting held on May 18, 2018, the purchase price per share
(excluding acquisition expenses) may not exceed or fall short by more than
10 percent of the price of a share of the Company as determined on the
trading date by the opening auction in Xetra trading. In addition, in
accordance with Art. 3 (2) of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated
March 8, 2016, within the Share Buyback Program 2018, shares may not be
acquired at a price that exceeds that of the most recent independently
executed transaction or (if this should be higher) that exceeds that of the
currently highest independent offer on the exchange on which the purchase
is taking place.

The share buyback will be carried out under the authority and for account
of the Company by a financial institution that will make its decisions
regarding the timing of the acquisition of treasury shares independently
and without the influence of the Company during the aforementioned period,
in accordance with Art. 4 (2b) of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052
of March 8, 2016. Therefore, the Company will exert no influence on the
decisions of the financial institution. Among other things, the financial
institution has also undertaken to comply with the trading conditions
defined under Art. 3 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March
8, 2016 and the requirements established in the Share Buyback Program 2018.

The Share Buyback Program 2018 may be suspended and also resumed at any
time where necessary and permitted under the law.

The purchased shares may be used for all purposes permitted by the
Company's annual general meeting.

Information regarding the transactions related to the Share Buyback Program
2018 will be appropriately announced in a manner corresponding to the
requirements set forth under Art. 2 (3) sentence 1 in conjunction with (2)
of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, on or
before the end of the seventh trading day following the date on which such
transactions are executed.

In addition, the Company will publish the announced transactions in the
'Investor Relations' section of its website (www.aureliusinvest.de) in
accordance with Art. 2 (3) sentence 2 of the Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, and ensure that the information remains
publicly accessible for a minimum of five years from the date of each such
publication.
