- Repurchase of up to 9.1 percent of share capital
- Maximum value of around EUR112.5 million based on current market
capitalization
Munich/Grünwald, June 30, 2015 - AURELIUS AG (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) has
decided to repurchase its treasury shares in accordance with the
authorization issued on May 21, 2014, by the Company's Annual General
Meeting. For this purpose, a total of up to 2,888,002 treasury shares
(corresponding to as much as 9.1 percent of share capital) of AURELIUS AG
are to be repurchased in the period from July 01, 2015, to June 30, 2016.
Based on the current share price, the share repurchase program's maximum
purchase volume amounts to around EUR112.5 million (m:access closing price
on June 26, 2015). The repurchased shares can be used for all purposes
specified in the Annual General Meeting's authorizing resolution, but are
expected to be retired.
The repurchase of shares will be carried out under the direction of a bank.
The repurchase of shares will be carried out in compliance with sections
14(2), 20a of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) in consideration of
the so-called "safe harbor regulations" set forth under (EC) No. 2273/2003.
The financial institution will make its decisions regarding the timing of
purchases as well as the volume of each separate repurchase of shares of
AURELIUS AG independent of and uninfluenced by AURELIUS AG in accordance

According to the authorization by the Company's Annual General Meeting, the
purchase price of the shares (excluding incidental acquisition costs) may
not vary from the average Xetra 1 closing price on the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange of the three trading days respectively preceding the acquisition
by more than 10 percent.
The bank is obligated to comply with the conditions for trading set forth
under Article 5 of EU Regulation 2273/2003. In particular, the acquisition
may not exceed 25 percent of the average turnover on the stock market on
which the repurchase takes place. This average daily turnover is derived
from the average daily trading volume of the 20 trading days preceding the
respective purchase date. The bank was instructed by the Company to
purchase up to 2,500 shares per week. The specified volumes can be
increased or decreased at any time by the Company.
The share repurchase program can be suspended and also resumed at any time
where necessary and permitted under the law. AURELIUS AG will announce
transactions executed under the share repurchase program on a weekly basis
on its website under Investor Relations (http://www.aureliusinvest.de/).
