The Blackstone Group has today informed us that it has decided to sell its
close to 25% stake in Gerresheimer AG, held by BCP Murano II S.à.r.l. with
immediate effect. In the course of the transaction, led by Credit Suisse,
7.8 million shares will be sold to a variety of institutional investors.
Blackstone has thus decided to exit its Gerresheimer investment after
Gerresheimer’s IPO in June 2007. Dr. Axel Herberg, CEO of Gerresheimer AG:
'Blackstone made a successful IPO possible and afforded us enormous growth
opportunities. With this exit, our free float rises substantially, making
our shares even more attractive to the investment community.'
