Notice according to Art. 2 (1) of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052
Munich/Grünwald, June 13, 2017 - The Executive Board of Aurelius Management
SE ('Executive Board') as the personally liable shareholder of AURELIUS
Equity Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) (the 'Company')
resolved a further share buyback program (the 'share buyback program 2017/
III') for an amount of up to EUR 10 million (excluding acquisition
expenses).
The share buyback program 2017/III is to be conducted under the
authorization of the Company's annual general meeting, according to which
the Company's own shares may be purchased for the purpose of retirement and
to satisfy subscription rights or subscription obligations related to
shares from convertible bonds. Under the share buyback program 2017/III, up
to 21,000 of the Company's own shares are planned to be bought back per
day, for a total of up to 210,000 shares, in the time from June 22, 2017 to
July 5, 2017. The Executive Board has appropriated an amount of EUR 10
million as the largest possible total purchase price for the acquisition of
shares of the Company (excluding acquisition expenses). The Supervisory
Board of the Company has approved the share buyback program 2017/III.
The share buyback will be carried out in accordance with the Safe Harbor
Rules defined under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the
European Parliament and of the Council dated April 16, 2014, in conjunction
with the provisions of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of the
Commission dated March 8, 2016.
In accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting
of the Company, the purchase price per share (excluding acquisition
expenses) may not exceed or fall short by more than 10 percent of the price
of a share of the Company as determined on the trading date by the opening
auction in Xetra trading. In addition, in accordance with Art. 3 (2) of the
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, in connection with
the buyback program 2017/III, shares may not be acquired at a price that
exceeds that of the most recent independently executed transaction or (if
this should be higher) that exceeds that of the currently highest
independent offer on the exchange on which the purchase is taking place.
The share buyback will be carried out under the authority and for account
of the Company by a financial institution that will make its decisions
regarding the timing of the acquisition of treasury shares independently
and without the influence of the Company during the aforementioned period,
in accordance with Art. 4 (2b) of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052
of March 8, 2016. Therefore, the Company will exert no influence on the
decisions of the financial institution. Among other things, the financial
institution has also undertaken to comply with the trading conditions
defined under Art. 3 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March
8, 2016 and the requirements established in the share buyback program 2017/
III.
The share buyback program 2017/III may be suspended and also resumed at any
time where necessary and permitted under the law.
The purchased shares may be used for all purposes permitted by the
Company's Annual General Meeting.
Information regarding the transactions related to the buyback program 2017/
III will be appropriately announced in a manner corresponding to the
requirements set forth under Art. 2 (3) sentence 1 in conjunction with (2)
of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, on or
before the end of the seventh trading day following the date on which such
transactions are executed.
In addition, the Company will publish the announced transactions in the
'Investor Relations' section of its website (www.aureliusinvest.de) in
accordance with Art. 2 (3) sentence 2 of the Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, and ensure that the information remains
