3-month report

04.05.2010

• Operating income up from EUR 6.2 million to EUR 16.6 million (incl.
EUR 7.2 million performance fees) • Costs for staff and
administration efforts rose from EUR 2.7 million to EUR 4.1 million
• Profits up from EUR -0.4 million to EUR 3.9 million • Net profit up
from EUR -0.2 million to EUR 4.7 million

Vienna / Frankfurt, 04.05.2010. C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN
AT0000613005) recorded a boost in profits in the first quarter of
2010. Consolidated operating income for Q1/2010 amounted to EUR 16.6
million, which equates to a year-on- year increase of EUR 10.4
relative to Q1/2009.

The improvement of operating income is attributable to an increase in
management fees, of around 67% and above all to the net performance
fees (the fees that the C-QUADRAT investment company receives as
performance-based payment when the NAV of the investment funds it
manages raise above a high watermark level) in the amount of EUR 4.5
million. This is attributable to the pleasant development of the
world stock markets in Q1/2010 (MSCI World-Index +9.32%). Due to the
uncertainty of the future trends in prices at the world stock markets
an analogous development of the performance fees in the proceeding
quarters of 2010 can not be assumed.

The costs for staff and administration efforts rose from EUR 2.7
million to EUR 4.1 million in the period under review.

First-quarter profits improved from EUR -0.4 million in Q1/2009 to
EUR 3.9 million in Q1/2010. The net profit for Q1/2010 amounts to
EUR 4.7 million, compared to EUR -0.2 million in Q1/2009.

The final results for the first quarter of 2010 will be published as
corporate news on 17.5.2010, in the form of a quarterly report, and
on the website of C- QUADRAT Investment AG under www.c-quadrat.at /
