PlasmaSelect AG / Joint Venture 14.11.2008 Release of a Adhoc News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Munich, 14.11.2008 PlasmaSelect AG (Securities Code Number 547 180) has achieved a further milestone in advancing its transformation from an operational corporate holding in the healthcare sector into an investment holding company. Today the Supervisory Board approved a joint venture with the Triest-based Italian Diaco Group. In this, PlasmaSelect will sell its Italian affiliates to an Austrian holding company which will simultaneously acquire Laboratori Diaco Biomedicali S.p.A. ('LDB'), a 100 % subsidiary of Diaco S.p.A. PlasmaSelect will own 40 % of the holding, while Diaco S.p.A. and a related company will hold 45% and 15% respectively. The purchase prices are 3 million for AltaSelect, 8 million for NovaSelect and 5 million for LDB, payable over five years from the liquid profits of the holding company. As the purchase prices are slightly below book value, PlasmaSelect anticipates a loss of approximately 1 million from the move. Deconsolidation of the companies will go ahead in the current fiscal year. The action continues PlasmaSelect AG's consistent strategy of generating added value and increasing shareholder value. It marks the approaching completion of the restructuring and reorganization of the company's healthcare division launched three quarters ago.
