Existing QSC Shareholder Baker Capital Distributes Its Remaining QSC Shares
to Shareholders

Cologne, March 15, 2012. The US investment firm Baker Capital has informed
QSC that it has distributed all of its remaining 25,247,242 QSC shares
(amounting to 18.4 percent of QSC shares) to shareholders of the closed-end
fund which has existed for well over ten years. This mainly involves
institutional investors as well as family offices in the US who are geared
toward the long term. Baker Capital invested in QSC in 1999 before its IPO,
and already distributed nearly 8.3 million QSC shares to the shareholders
as part of a distribution in February 2011. With this transaction, the
amount of QSC shares in free float increases to 79.8 percent; the two
founders, Dr. Bernd Schlobohm and Gerd Eickers, each hold 10.1 percent.
