Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR MBB SE subsidiary Aumann AG acquires automation specialist USK and modifies the forecast for the year 2017

Berlin, 18 October 2017 - Aumann AG, a 53.6% subsidiary of MBB SE (ISIN DE000A0ETBQ4), has announced the acquisition of 100% of the shares in USK Karl Utz Sondermaschinen GmbH ("USK") from the family owners with effect as of today. USK is a sustainably profitable specialist for automation solutions, employing more than 300 people at the company's headquarters in Limbach-Oberfrohna. Its capacities for development, engineering and assembly will further support Aumann's growth path. In 2016, the company generated revenue of c. €70 million.

As a result of the acquisition of USK, annualised revenue of MBB Group amounts to more than

€450 million. As the third quarter of Aumann was weak due to the strong organic growth, management expects earnings per share in 2017 of €2.00 which is lower than our previous forecast of €2.16.
