    MPC Capital disposes of ship portfolio for USD 398 million

    - Sale of "M-Star" fleet of eight 8,500 TEU container ships
    - Investors realise average return of 6 % per annum

    Hamburg, 22 September 2016 - MPC Maritime Investments GmbH, a subsidiary of
    MPC Capital AG (Deutsche Börse Entry Standard, ISIN DE000A1TNWJ4), has
    arranged the sale of a portfolio of eight container ships for a price of
    around USD 398 million. The buyer is an Asian finance syndicate which
    intends to continue to use the ships for charter operations. Two of the
    eight fully containerised vessels each with a slot capacity of around 8,500
    standard containers (TEU) have already been handed over to their new
    owners. The handover of the remaining six ships is scheduled to take place
    during the next weeks.

    The ships that make up the "M-Star" fleet, with poetic names such as
    "Mahler Star", "Manet Star" and "Mendelssohn Star", went into service
    between 2004 and 2007. To finance their purchase, MPC Capital had raised
    equity capital of around EUR 175 million predominantly among private
    investors. The sale that has now been agreed means the investors realise an
    average annual post-tax return of 6 % on their employed capital. The IRR
    (internal rate of return) is up to 7.7 %, and the total return of capital
    as high as 195 %.

    "We are very proud that we have successfully completed a transaction of
    this magnitude in this difficult industry climate," remarked Constantin
    Baack, Management Board member of MPC Capital AG. "We have achieved this
    solid return on our investors' employed capital not least by tightly
    dovetailing specialist shipping knowledge with financial expertise in our
    investment team."
