---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acting on the authorisation provided by the Annual General Meeting on 26
August 2010, Heliad Equity Partners (ISIN: DE000A0L1NN5) will be buying
back a total of up to ten percent of the company's share capital,
corresponding to up to 1,214,580 individual registered shares. This was
decided by the management of the general partner and the company's
Supervisory Board yesterday evening and this morning. To date the company
holds 874,500 treasury stock shares. A total of up to 340,080 shares are
therefore still available for further acquisition. After achieving the 10
percent range, the Management Board intends to propose a withdrawal of the
own shares to the Supervisory Board, whereby the number of the outstanding
shares would decrease accordingly. Given that currently Heliad's share is
quoted far below its NAV of EUR 6.03, a share buyback following a
withdrawal is an appropriate way within the interest of all shareholders to
increase the asset value per share.
The share buyback is to be executed in the coming weeks via the stock
exchange. Consistent with the authorisation provided by the Annual General
Meeting, the purchase price per share paid by Heliad when acquiring shares
via the stock exchange may not exceed or fall short of the share's average
closing price in Xetra trading in the respective three stock market trading
days preceding acquisition by more than ten percent.
According to the resolution adopted by the general partner and the
Supervisory Board, the share buyback should be managed by a financial
institution that is independent and not influenced by Heliad in terms of
its decisions concerning the timing of individual buyback
transactions.
