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

Munich/Grünwald, January 26, 2017 - The Executive Board of Aurelius
Management SE as the personally liable shareholder of AURELIUS Equity
Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) (the 'Company') resolved
today to commence the second share buyback program for an amount of up to
EUR 26 million (excluding acquisition expenses), which was already
announced on October 10, 2016.

The resolved share buyback program is to be conducted under the
authorization of the Company's Annual General Meeting of June 9, 2016,
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. Under the share
buyback program, up to 50,000 of the Company's own shares are planned to be
bought back per week, for a total of up to 450,000 shares, in the time from
January 30, 2017 to April 2, 2017. The Executive Board has appropriated an
amount of EUR 26 million as the largest possible total purchase price for
the acquisition of shares of the Company (excluding acquisition expenses).
The Supervisory Board of AURELIUS Equity Opportunities SE & KGaA has
approved the share buyback program.

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 Annual General Meeting
of the Company held on June 9, 2016, 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, in connection with the buyback program, 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 this share buyback program.

The share buyback program 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 buyback program 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.
