The issuer / publisher is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Munich, September 7, 2009 - The Munich based investment company Palladius AG today announced that it has terminated inclusion in the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as of September 3, 2009. Share trading will be continued at the Open Market without interruption. The decision was cost-based and due to the fact that under the current capital market conditions the management didn't see any additional value in the company's listing on the Entry Standard. Furthermore, the Munich investment company announced that it has retransferred its 15 % share in GSW Europe GmbH to the former proprietor Angela Liedler Verwaltungs GmbH. In December 2008, Palladius AG had acquired minority shareholdings in the pharma communications agency thus extending its investment portfolio to the attractive healthcare sector beside the automotive and real estate sectors. 'We regret our withdrawal from the Entry Standard which we had expected to draw more attention from new, also institutional investors and to exert a positive influence on the share price development', Frank Döhring, CEO of Palladius AG stated. 'However, it's not excluded that we might return to this stock exchange segment in the future under changed circumstances. By retransferring our minority shareholdings in GSW Europe GmbH we put more emphasis on our strategy to acquire predominantly majority shareholdings in order to be able to exert decisive influence on the business development of the respective portfolio companies', Frank Döhring concluded.
