bmp AG: bmp records loss in 2009 of EUR 10.1 million; outlook positive for
2010

Berlin, 20 April 2010

The private equity manager bmp AG (ISIN DE0003304200) today released its
figures for the 2009 financial year.

Group turnover was EUR 1.5 million, more than 60% below the prior year's
figure of EUR 4.0 million, due to significantly reduced exit activity in
the investment business. This can be traced primarily to lower trade sale
activities in the wake of the global financial crisis.

The bmp Group ended the 2009 financial year with a considerably negative
net result of EUR 10.1 million (2008: EUR 0.2 million profit). The loss is
mainly due to write-downs on financial assets and securities totalling EUR
9.8 million. Of this, EUR 6.8 million is allocated to Revotar
Biopharmaceuticals AG alone. The company is not fully financed for 2010 and
thus subject to default if no financing solution is found in the near
future.

Despite the negative revenues, in 2009 bmp maintained a relatively constant
level of liquidity with EUR 3.2 million as at year-end (2008: EUR 3.4
million) and, at the same time, repaid EUR 0.6 million in liabilities from
refinancing to KfW Bankengruppe.

bmp has gotten off to a good start in 2010. It has already exceeded the
prior year's turnover by the partial sale of its shareholding in K2
Internet S.A. and selling its shareholding in Nokaut.pl Sp. z o.o., thereby
also reinforcing its liquidity. Moreover, after winning a Europe-wide bid
process in March, bmp received a mandate to manage a EUR 20 million early
stage fund in Brandenburg with a term of ten years. bmp will receive
quarterly management fees and also shares in the fund's profits.

For 2010, bmp anticipates a return to growth provided that business
developments continue to improve significantly.

The quarterly report will be published at www.bmp.com on 30 April 2010.
