The management board of BAVARIA Industriekapital AG has decided today to repurchase its own shares. In the period from 11 March 2013 to 31 December 2013 an amount of 420,807 of its own shares of BAVARIA Industriekapital AG based on the annual shareholder meeting on 25th May 2012 should be bought back via stock exchange. The shares bought back can be used for all purposes foreseen in the shareholders meeting's authorization resolution.

The share buyback will be carried out under the leadership of a bank, which will make its decision on the timing of individual buybacks independently and uninfluenced by BAVARIA Industriekapital AG. The buyback of the shares will be carried out in accordance with § 14, Paragraphs 2 and 20 a WpHG and take the safe Harbour regulations in accordance with EC no. 2273/2003 into account. The share buyback program is lead-managed by a credit institution which makes its trading decisions in relation to the issuer's shares independently of, and without influence by, BAVARIA Industriekapital AG with regard to the timing of the purchases according to article 6 (3)(b) of EU-VO 2273/2003.

The purchase price of the shares (excluding secondary transaction costs) may not lie more than 10 percent above or below the average Xetra closing price on the Frankfurt stock exchange on the five days preceding each purchase.

The credit institution shall be obligated to execute according to article 5 of EU-VO 2273/2003. In particular, not more than 50% of the average daily turnover on the stock exchange, on which the purchase is executed, will be purchased. The average daily share turnover is calculated from the average daily trading volume of the 20 trading days before the date of purchase.

If required and legally permissible, the buyback program can be suspended and
restarted at any time. BAVARIA Industriekapital AG will publish the transactions concluded within the framework of its share buyback program weekly in the Investor Relations section of its internet page, (www.baikap.de).
