Pfullendorf, March 30, 2015 - ALNO AG has attracted Nature Home Holding
Company Limited, Cayman Islands, ("Nature") as a further anchor
shareholder. Nature, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has today
concluded an investment agreement with ALNO AG under which it undertakes to
buy new ALNO AG shares derived from a capital increase for cash from the
existing authorised capital which is still to be undertaken. The company
will issue 5.5 million new shares with shareholders' subscription rights
excluded at the issuing price of 1.05 euros per new share. Nature will
purchase all the new shares. Furthermore, Nature has announced that it
purchased about 1.375 million shares recently. This means the company will
in future hold a total of about 9.09 percent of the share capital of ALNO
AG. Nature and ALNO have already been working together in China for two
years.

"We are delighted to have attracted Nature as a further anchor shareholder
for ALNO AG. This demonstrates the high level of confidence that our
Chinese partner has for us and in us," says Max Müller, CEO of ALNO AG,
with pleasure. "This strengthens our company on international markets in
particular, as well as in the German capital market. At the same time, the
investment by Nature gives us further motivation to focus all our efforts
on pushing ahead with the reorientation of ALNO AG," continues Müller.

According to Se Hok Pan, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Nature Home
Holding Company, "This investment is an important development in the mutual
