++ 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 investors 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 increase 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.
