bmp AG: bmp sells Bankier.pl

bmp AG and the Central & Eastern Europe Venture GmbH (CEEV) fund that it
administers have over the course of the last market days reallocated to
institutional investors the entirety of their remaining shares in the
Polish company Bankier.pl S.A., amounting to a volume of approximately EUR
3.2 million. The proceeds are to be divided equally between bmp and CEEV.

As the result of a pre-IPO placement, a reallocation at the time of the
Initial Public Offering and additional sales at the stock exchange, bmp and
CEEV had already previously succeeded in generating total return flows of
around EUR 3.2 million in 2006. This means that bmp's involvement in
Bankier enabled it to realise an outstanding rate of return on capital
employed. 'The participation in Bankier.pl demonstrates that extremely
interesting companies for enabling outstanding returns to investors are to
be found in Poland', declared Jens Spyrka, the responsible Partner at bmp
AG and the Executive Manager for CEEV. bmp's participation in Bankier dates
back to February 2001, after which time it played a decisive role in the
transformation of the company into the leading online medium for financial
topics and associated services.

bout bmp AG:
As an internationally active company in the Private Equity Asset Manager,
bmp invests its own funds directly into equity investment while at the same
time acting as a Funds Manager for others. bmp provides its trade
investments not only with capital but also with the advantages of ten years
