Eindhoven, July 10, 2012 - Catalis SE, the worldwide service provider for
the digital media and entertainment industry, announces that its Board of
Directors resolved today to increase its existing share capital of EUR
5,887,172.00 consisting of 58,871,720 shares with a nominal value of EUR

shares to up to EUR 7,148,708.60 representing up to 71,487,086 shares.
The shares will be issued with pre-emptive rights allowing existing
shareholders to subscribe for three new shares for each fourteen existing
shares in Catalis SE held. No pre-emptive rights trading will take place.
Shareholders can make a subscription request going beyond their legal
subscription rights (over-subscription).
The issue price per share is set at EUR 0.10 reflecting gross funds raised
of up to approximately EUR 1.26 million. Any shares which are not
subscribed for by existing shareholders will be offered to institutional
investors as part of a private placement. The subscription period is
expected to start on Thursday, July12, 2012 and will end on Thursday,
July26, 2012.
Catalis management and major shareholders have indicated to contribute a
significant amount to this right issue.
Further details are to be set forth in the subscription offer that is
expected to be published on July 10, 2012 in the German electronic Federal
Gazette ('Elektronischer Bundesanzeiger') and on the website of the
company. ACON Actienbank AG, Munich is acting as clearing agent for Catalis
SE on the transaction. Furthermore Northland Capital Partners Limited,
London, a leading transatlantic investment dealer focused on small caps
will act as sales agent in the transaction. The engagement of Northland
Capital Partners Limited and potential UK investors is also seen as a
further step towards a potential AIM listing of Catalis shares later in the
year.
The proceeds from the capital increase are intended to strengthen the
company's capital base in order to foster future growth in particular in
new business areas to complement the group's current business.
