Munich, January 11, 2011. In early January, mic AG - the Munich-based
venture capital firm - was able to gain a new strategic shareholder, with
Süddeutsche Aktienbank AG [SAB AG] acting as lead manager for the
transaction. Mic AG expects long-term synergy benefits to result from the
relationship, not least due to the investor's extensive capital market
experience.

In the future, mic AG's existing exit options will be expanded to include
newly designed financial structures in the form of investment packages for
family offices and affluent business angels, respectively. In addition to
the possibility of a direct company acquisition by financial and strategic
investors, it will now become attractive for a wider range of investors to
buy early-stage investments in highly innovative companies such as those in
mic AG's portfolio. This easier access to start-up financing will further
boost the core business of mic AG.

About mic AG:
As an early-stage investor, Munich-based mic AG mainly invests in - and
partly co-founds - companies from the communication, medical and
microsystems technology sectors as well as from the fields of fibre optics
and cleantech. It currently holds investments in eleven companies with a
total value in the lower double-digit millions. mic AG has been listed in
the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since October 2006.
