++ About ADC 
ADC African Development Corporation, ISIN DE000A1E8NW9 (ticker symbol:
AZC.GR), was established in September 2007 and quickly positioned itself as
one of the leading holdings for banks and insurance companies in the
above-average growth markets of sub-Saharan Africa. The company's success
is primarily due to its local management team, which follows international
best practice principles to further develop banks and implements
conventional international processes to in-crease their profitability. As
the second international emerging market investor in the world, ADC was
integrated into the insurance solution offered by the Multilateral
Investment Guarantee Agency ('MIGA'), a member of the World Bank Group,
primarily due to its strong operational approach and adherence to the
highest ethical standards. This insurance offers protection against a
variety of political risks, in particular the risk of radical political
change.
