Frankfurt/Main, 24th of February 2017

  • Heliad applied for a change into the new SME Stock Exchange Segment "Scale"
  • Intention of inclusion into the General Standard segment

Frankfurt/Main, 24th of February 2017 - Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A0L1NN5) plans, with effect from March 1st, 2017, to switch to Deutsche Börse AG's new stock exchange segment "Scale" for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A corresponding request

for inclusion in the SME segment has been lodged with Deutsche Börse AG. The new stock market segment replaces the Entry Standard in which Heliad has so far been listed.

In the short to medium term, however, the company plans to include the shares in the higher-regulated General Standard. Until the inclusion of the shares in the General Standard, investors and analysts will nonetheless be provided with a high level of transparency and quality even after the entry standard has ceased, which is ensured by the inclusion in the new SME segment "Scale".

Thomas Hanke, CEO of Heliad Equity Partners GmbH & Co. KGaA: "The planned change to the General Standard will further strengthen the attention and trust of investors and analysts, which will also benefit our company and the share price."
