mutares AG announces share buy-back

The executive board of the Munich based restructuring specialist mutares AG (ISIN: DE000A0SMSH2) decided, in line with § 71 Abs. 1 Nr. 8 AktG and the decision of the annual general meeting on March 19 th 2010, to exercise its right to launch a share buy-back.

The executive board views the current share price to be attractive for share buy-backs. The purchased shares can be used for acquisitions or employee incentive-programs.

The shares are exclusively purchased through the stock exchange. With regards to the purchase volume and the share price, the share buy-back is in line with the existing regulation. A total of up to 32.200 shares can be purchased.

Lead manager of the share buy-back is the VEM Aktienbank AG. The share buy-back is ongoing until March 19 th 2015. Relevant purchases are taking place in accordance with Section 14 (2) and Section 20a of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), taking into account the so-called safe-harbor regulations set forth in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003. In accordance with Article 6 para. 3b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003, mutares AG will have no influence whatsoever over the timing of the purchase and the volume of the individual share repurchases performed by the bank.

In accordance with the decision of the general annual meeting, the share purchase price (excluding initial purchase cost) must not deviate more than 10% from the share price determined through the daily opening auction of the respective stock exchange.

The bank is obliged to comply with the trading terms set forth in Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003, ensuring that not more than 25% of the average daily volume of the shares traded at that stock exchange at which the buy-back is carried out will be purchased. The calculation of the average daily volume is based on the average daily trading volume of the last 20 trading days prior to the date of purchase.

In accordance with the existing regulation the share buy-back may be suspended and resumed at any time.

All transactions with regards to the share buy-back will be disclosed on a weekly basis by mutares AG in the Investor Relations section of its website.
