Press release

*Liability claims settlement*

Baar, September 16, 2016

In August 2015, Baar-based New Value AG sold its liability claims against former directors and auditors to an investor.

Since then, the investor has continued to pursue negotiations with the former directors and the former auditor. As of September 16, 2016 a settlement has been reached between the parties. Under New Value AG's sale of claims agreement with the investor, a substantial share of the payment received by the investor under this settlement will flow back to New Value AG. The actual amount of this payment will be known once the final accounting has been done.

Since possible revenues from the legal proceedings have not yet been taken into account in the balance sheet thus far due to the high levels of uncertainty regarding the duration of the proceedings and the scope of the compensation, this payment will lead to a slight increase in New Value AG's Net Asset Value (NAV).

The settlement was made under the condition that all damages claims against the former Board chairman are also satisfied by this payment to the investor. Hence, New Value AG's ongoing civil suit against the former Board chairman will be withdrawn_._
