   Luxempart is delighted to announce its strategic investment in
   Medios AG, a leading publicly listed specialty pharma platform in
   Europe. Luxempart has acquired a 14.9% stake from Manfred
   Schneider, the founder of Medios AG. This transaction resolves
   the shareholding succession of Manfred Schneider and establishes
   Luxempart as a new anchor shareholder.


   "I sought an investor to take over my holdings in Medios, and I'm
   pleased to have reached an agreement with Luxempart. Their
   thorough analysis and deep understanding of Medios and its
   strategy, combined with their long-term commitment and support
   from entrepreneurial families, convinced me they are the right
   partner for Medios' future," expresses Manfred Schneider, founder
   of Medios on the transaction.


   Medios AG is a pan-European platform focusing on specialty
   pharmaceuticals for chronic and/or rare diseases. The business
   activities are centered around wholesale of such drugs and the
   compounding and supply of patient-specific therapies. These
   therapies are particularly targeted at six focus indication
   areas: oncology, neurology, autoimmune diseases, ophthalmology,
   infectious diseases and haemophilia. With the recent acquisition
   of Ceban Pharmaceuticals in the Netherlands, Medios has
   diversified its business operations both regionally and in terms
   of business activities. This strategic acquisition not only
   offers numerous synergies, but also aligns with Medios' vision to
   become the leading European specialty pharma platform.


   "We have been monitoring the company for several years and are
   impressed by the company's strategy execution and progress over
   this time period", says John Penning, Managing Director at
   Luxempart.


   Luxempart is excited to support the management and the employees
   of Medios AG on their successful journey with our expertise and
   capabilities to achieve their strategic and financial goals. We
   have met a strong and committed team and we look forward to
   supporting them by all means in this new growth phase of Medios.
   Next to continuous operational improvements and the successful
   integration of Ceban, we see further M&A as a key lever to
   generate shareholder value going forward.


   Florian Herger, Principal at Luxempart, emphasizes: "We are
   convinced of Medios' capabilities and its strong management team
   to continue excelling in this attractive market. We are excited
   to bring our expertise to the table, supporting the Medios team
   to reach its strategic and financial goals through value
   enhancing growth."


   Rudolf Ohnesorge, Member of the Group Executive Committee and
   responsible for the DACH activities of Luxempart, complements:
   "This transaction fits well with our strategy to take significant
   positions in market leading companies as an active owner and
   partner to the management team. We feel well positioned to
   accompany Medios on their ambitious journey especially when it
   comes to further internationalization."
