Baar (pta006/25.05.2021/06:30 UTC+2) 25 May 2021

The investment company New Value AG announces that it has signed an investment agreement with the shareholders of EyeEm Group GmbH based in Berlin (EyeEm) to acquire 100% of EyeEm's shares. EyeEm operates an online photography platform with a global community. The acquisition of the shareholding will mainly take place through the issuance of New Value shares in the context of a capital increase by way of contribution in kind, which is still to be resolved by the General Meeting, and is therefore subject to the approval of the shareholders of New Value AG.

The issuance of the 34'193'049 fully paid registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 1 each and an issue price of CHF 1 each created by contribution in kind in the capital increase of 19 May 2021, has been published in the commercial register. These new registered shares are currently not listed on the stock exchange. As a result, among others the following investments have been added to New Value AG's investment portfolio: 100% stake in Jovoto GmbH, Berlin (online marketplace for creative services and ideas), 100% stake in Talenthouse IP LLC, New Mexico, USA (holds all rights associated with the Talenthouse.com platform) and a 50.5% stake in TLNT Holdings SA, Luxembourg (holds interests in the operators of Zooppa.com and Ello.co, online platforms for creative professionals).

In order to be able to execute the acquisition of the EyeEm shares and, if applicable, to acquire further participations, the Board of Directors is proposing to an Extraordinary General Meeting to be called on 18 June 2021 ordinary capital increases of up to approximately CHF 8.5 million in total by means of contribution in kind by issuing the corresponding number of unlisted fully paid registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 1 each and an issue price of CHF 1 each. In order to enable further development steps to be taken by the company, the Board of Directors proposes the creation of authorised capital up to a maximum amount of CHF 17 million and conditional capital up to a maximum amount of CHF 8 million. Furthermore, the election of Mr. Michael Wachsler as a member of the Board of Directors is proposed.
