Venture Capital/Private Equity/Investments

23.10.2007

Together with quirin bank AG, Leonardo Venture GmbH & Co. KGaA set
the placement price of the shares on offer within the context of the
public offering and the international private placement at EUR 2.60
per new share.

The ordinary capital increase comprised a combined offering
consisting of an indirect offer of subscription to the existing
shareholders and a subordinate public offering, as well as an
international private placement. A total of 6,690,300 new shares were
offered as part of the capital increase. Of these, existing
shareholders subscribed to 2,755,278 shares at a subscription price
of EUR2.60 each. The 3,935,022 unsubscribed new shares were placed
within the scope of a public offering and an international private
placement, also at a placement price of EUR 2.60.

During a roadshow from 12 to 22 October, Leonardo Venture was able to
convince many reputable private and institutional investors in
Germany and abroad of the promising prospects. As a consequence, the
demand significantly exceeded the number of shares available within
the context of the combined offering.

The gross income for the company from the issue based on the capital
increase amounts to around EUR 17.4 million. The shares of Leonardo
Venture GmbH & Co. KGaA are planned for listing in the Prime Standard
on 29 October 2007 after registration of the completed capital
increase.
