Disclosure of an inside information according to Article 17 MAR

Mutares significantly invested in the development of the organization in the course of last year. In Munich and Paris, Mutares moved into new offices and the teams in M&A and Operations were significantly enlarged. The ambitious recruiting activities will be continued in this year. The Italian organization is currently in the process of establishment. The sharpened investment focus on platform and add-on acquisitions already shows its great potential. With respect to this dynamic development, Dr. Axel Geuer will continue to accompany the growth of the company as a member of the Executive Board, focussing on strategic aspects and investor relations.
