    financial products on a token basis

  * Investors gain access to innovative impact investments that comply with
    EU taxonomy standards and can be certified by DEKRA

  * Othmar Karas, First Vice-President of the European Parliament, finds out

  * Ole Nixdorff, CEO of NEON EQUITY: "The environment and our portfolio
    companies will benefit from the Green Deal-compliant products."

Frankfurt am Main, June 17, 2024 - NEON EQUITY AG ("NEON EQUITY", ISIN
DE000A3DW408) today signed a cooperation agreement with Green Encoded GmbH
in Frankfurt in the presence of Dr. Othmar Karas, First Vice President of
the European Parliament. The aim of the partnership is to develop joint
Green Deal-compliant financial products on a token basis. The aim is to give
national and international investors access to high-yield impact investments
that meet the criteria of the EU taxonomy and ESG targets. In addition, NEON
EQUITY and Green Encoded products can be certified by DEKRA as the official
global partner of Green Encoded.

NEON EQUITY and Green Encoded plan to initiate the first joint Green
Deal-compliant investment products in the coming quarters.

Dr. Othmar Karas, First Vice-President of the European Parliament and member
of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee: "Europe will be the first
climate-neutral continent by 2050 - that is non-negotiable. To achieve this
goal, we need the support of the economy and the financial market. Without
additional private capital, this transformation will not succeed.
Transparency is the most important step for credibility. The economy and the
environment must no longer be opposites, but must complement each other."

The EU's Green Deal envisages Europe becoming the first climate-neutral
continent by 2050. In addition, net greenhouse gas emissions are to be
reduced by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Within this
framework, the EU is supporting European companies with a focus on
ESG-compliant technologies and products.

Dr. Othmar Karas continued: "I am therefore delighted that NEON EQUITY is
taking an innovative approach with the Austrian company Green Encoded and
thus helping the idea of the Green Deal to develop its potential for
investors. I am grateful for the insights into the new ventures and wish the
project all the best."

Ole Nixdorff, CEO of NEON EQUITY: "We are very pleased to be working with
Green Encoded, as together we can create numerous synergies for the benefit
of the environment and society. Green Encoded brings its expertise in the
tokenization of ESG-certified products, while we contribute our know-how in
capital market transactions and our strong investor network. The environment
and our portfolio companies will also be able to benefit from the Green Deal
compliant products. We are particularly proud that we have received the full
support of politicians for this important partnership. In this context, we
would like to thank Dr. Karas, First Vice-President of the EU Parliament."

Michael Kien, owner and Managing Director of Green Encoded: "Our world is
changing and we see this as a great opportunity. Companies now need a
legally compliant and transparent transformation from ecological necessities
to economic profitability. The cooperation with NEON EQUITY, one of the
leading players in the field of impact investment, shows the great potential
of the Green Encoded platform. We benefit from NEON EQUITY's capital market
expertise and thus have the perfect partner at our side. Together, we can
successfully support companies in making economic use of sustainability
while protecting nature, the climate and biodiversity."
