this point comprised eleven companies. It has successfully sold its stake
of 47.37% in the Hamburg based firm Gamigo AG to the co-partner AS Venture
GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Axel Springer AG.

bmp and AS Venture had invested in Gamigo in 2000 and had increased their
stakes in the company continuously on a like for like basis. Within the
context of earlier capital actions, bmp had granted AS Venture an option,

appreciation made in the second quarter of this year.

Jens Spyrka, Director of bmp Media Investors says: 'We are proud, that in
the past years and in close cooperation with Axel Springer we have
