bmp Holding AG: Loss amounting to more than half the registered capital within the meaning of § 92 (1) of German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz - AktG) expected - Extraordinary General Meeting

Berlin, January 19, 2017. The Executive Board of bmp Holding AG, Berlin, ISIN DE0003304200, announces that - at the current state of compiling the full-year accounts for business year 2016 - it assumes the following, at best judgment: For the single-entity accounts (according to German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch HGB)) as per December 31, 2016, a loss amounting to more than half the registered capital within the meaning of § 92 (1) AktG has occurred.

The main reason is the depreciation requirement for VC minority-companies.

In accordance with legal requirements, the Executive Board of bmp Holding AG will without undue delay call a General Meeting to which the loss will be notified in accordance with § 92 (1) AktG.

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board will examine possibilities for capital measures in the run-up.

As of balance sheet date 31.12.2016, the Executive Board will form valuation allowances in the HGB individual financial statements for the remaining VC minority companies for reasons of risk provision. At the current state, this will lead to the fact that the shareholders' equity in the HGB financial statements of bmp Holding AG will be less than 50% of the registered capital of EUR 20.7 million. Since the third quarter of 2009, shareholders' equity has been consistently below 100% of the registered capital. As of September 30, 2016, it was impacted by individual valuation adjustments on the VC residual portfolio of more than EUR 4.2 million. The remaining portfolio as at 31.12.2016 represents a HGB book value of EUR 5.4 million on the basis of the valuation as of September 30, 2016.
