AURELIUS restarts share buyback programs in an amount of up to EUR 52
million

Munich/Grünwald, October 10, 2016 - In accordance with the authorization
resolved by the Company's Annual General Meeting held on June 9, 2016, the
Executive Board of the personally liable shareholder of AURELIUS Equity
Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) ("Company") decided today
to acquire treasury shares of the Company for the purpose of retirement and
to satisfy subscription rights or subscription obligations related to
shares from convertible bonds ("resolution"). For this purpose, a total of
up to 471,000 treasury shares of the Company are to be bought back in the
period from October 17, 2016, to October 16, 2019. The Executive Board
appropriated an amount of EUR 26 million as the largest possible total
purchase price for the acquisition of shares of the Company (excluding
acquisition expenses).

In addition, the Supervisory Board agreed that the Executive Board of the
personally liable shareholder can resolve other share buyback programs in
the amount of up to an additional EUR 26 million at its own discretion in
the period from October 17, 2016, to October 16, 2019. The share buyback
programs thus have an aggregate amount of up to EUR 52 million.

The 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
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of the Commission dated March 8, 2016.

In accordance with the authorization on the part of the Annual General
Meeting of the Company held on June 9, 2016, the purchase price per share
(excluding acquisition expenses) may not exceed or fall short of the price
of a share of the Company as determined on the trading date by the opening
auction in Xetra trading by more than 10 percent. 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, 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 repurchase of shares will be carried out under the direction of a
financial institution that makes its decisions regarding the timing of the
acquisition of treasury shares independent from and uninfluenced by the
Company during the aforementioned period. The bank will, among other
things, also undertake vis-à-vis the Company to comply with the trading
conditions defined under Art. 3 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052
dated March 8, 2016. The bank will be instructed by the Company to buy back
up to 3,000 shares per week.

The share repurchase program can be suspended and also resumed at any time
where necessary and permitted under the law.

Information regarding the transactions related to the repurchase program
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
publicly accessible for a minimum of five years from the date of the
appropriate announcement.
