C-QUADRAT Investment AG (ISIN AT0000613005) is planning to establish
and operate an asset management firm in Armenia through a joint
venture with Talanx Asset Management GmbH, Cologne. C-QUADRAT will
hold a 74.9 % interest in this firm.

Once Armenia's pension reform comes into effect on January 1, 2014,
this firm will take over - along with another well-known asset
manager - the management of state pension assets of the Armenian
pension system. The total volume of pension assets under its
management will be gradually increased. The Central Bank of Armenia
estimates that this volume will reach approx. EUR 2 billion in the
coming years by 2020 and subsequently even more.

The Central Bank of Armenia signed a memorandum of understanding to
this effect with C-QUADRAT and Talanx Asset Management GmbH today.

C-QUADRAT is an asset manager specializing in quantitative and
discretionary absolute and total return strategies. The company was
established in 1991. It has been listed in the Prime Standard of the
Frankfurt stock exchange since 2006 and since May 2008 on the Vienna
stock exchange. C-QUADRAT is well-known for its analysis of
investment funds and as an innovative asset manager. Both
institutional clients and private investors rely on its expertise.
With offices in Vienna, London, Frankfurt and Geneva and sales
activities in 17 countries, C-QUADRAT is active throughout Europe.
