bmp AG: investment in brand eins Medien AG

Berlin, 17 May 2011

The private equity company bmp AG (ISIN DE0003304200) has today decided to
acquire shares of brand eins Medien AG from existing shareholders of brand
eins through a mixture of cash purchases and an exchange for shares of bmp
AG.

bmp already acquired a 6.53% holding in brand eins Medien AG in the first
few months of 2011 and now plans to acquire a further 28.70% of shares in
the company so that following completion of the transaction bmp will hold
35.23% of the shares. For this purpose bmp will issue 1,319,250 bmp shares
from authorised capital to cover part of the purchase price; on top of this
there will be a cash payment to the shareholders selling who also include
Oliver Borrmann, CEO of bmp AG. The parties have agreed not to disclose the
exact purchase price.

Following the entry of this acquisition by bmp AG against cash and equity
the share capital of bmp will increase from 17.50 million shares at present
by around 7.5% to 18.82 million shares in the future.

Since brand eins was founded back in 1999 bmp has collaborated closely with
the company which among other things publishes brand eins, by far the
German business magazine with the highest retail sales. Furthermore, Oliver
Borrmann has for many years been Chairman of the Supervisory Board of brand
eins Medien AG.

The planned investment in this company reflects the new strategy of bmp of
focussing more strongly on the area of media and marketing services in the
future, investing more in mature enterprises and in doing so also acquiring
holdings through the issue of shares of bmp AG.
