bmp – Portfolio Restructuring Complete

bmp media investors AG (ISIN DE0003304200) completed its restructuring – decided upon in 2011 – into a private equity company focused on the media and marketing services segment. bmp achieved the best investment performance in the past in this segment.

After the sale of the software company newtron AG to the Liechtensteinische Post, bmp's last shareholding in the biotechnology sector, Revotar Biopharmaceuticals AG, filed for bankruptcy. bmp revalued Revotar in the third quarter of 2012 to avoid any additional reduced earnings from this investment.

The 2.1% stake in E.T.H. AG will be reassigned to the media and marketing services portfolio as of 2013 due to its similarities. The stake in Entry-Standard-listed Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG is part of the company's securities holdings and will no longer be reported in the investment portfolio in the future.

'By focusing on the area of media and marketing services, we will concentrate on what we feel has the greatest added value potential, a strategy whose success has been proven by excellent sales of investments many times over the past several years', stated Oliver Borrmann, CEO of bmp media investors AG.
