Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna/Frankfurt, 25.11.2008. C-QUADRAT
Investment AG is preparing a share buy-back programme in respect of
its own shares. An extraordinary general meeting has been convened
for Thursday, 11 December 2008, the sole item on the agenda being the
authorisation of the Management Board to acquire up to ten percent of
the issued capital.

By taking this step, C-QUADRAT intends to exploit the exceptionally
low share price at present to buy back its own shares and thus create
acquisition currency for future acquisitions. "C-QUADRAT will
continue aiming for further growth. In many cases, paying with
treasury shares is less expensive than paying cash, and is sometimes
even a precondition for a takeover", explains Alexander Schütz,
C-QUADRAT founder and Management Board member. "This buy-back
programme is therefore an important step in growing the company." The
share buy-back programme could also have a positive impact on the
current share price.

Before launching the share buy-back programme, and providing the
general meeting agrees to authorise the Management Board to implement
it, information about the scope and structure of the programme will
be released by the Management Board in the form of an adhoc
announcement.

C-QUADRAT- the fund company - is an independent asset manager
operating across Europe. Founded in 1991, the company has had is own
asset management company with a bank licence since 2003 and has been
