AURELIUS reports good start in the first quarter of 2015 - Seite 2

quarter of 2015, the net asset value of the AURELIUS Group companies
remains unchanged at EUR 1,150.6 million.

To allow the AURELIUS Group to press ahead with its international
expansion, the Company plans to change its legal form to SE & Co. KGaA. The
annual general meeting of shareholders on June 15, 2015 will be asked to
adopt a resolution in this regard. The proposed change of legal form is
intended to secure a key competitive edge by enabling the executive bodies
to take prompt actions and decisions, thus providing a more solid
foundation for the AURELIUS Group to continue with its systematic growth
strategy.

Outlook

AURELIUS expects transaction activity to remain brisk over the rest of the
2015 fiscal year. "We are eyeing up several highly promising add-on
acquisitions, with up to eight purchases looking possible in 2015. We will
also be active on the exit side this year," comments AURELIUS CEO Dr. Dirk
Markus. "The focus at the upcoming annual general meeting will be on the
further development of the AURELIUS Group. With the big change of legal
form to SE & Co. KGaA proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory
Board, we aim to meet the challenges of our international expansion head on
and start the next chapter in the Company's success story."
