Frankfurt/Main, 16 September 2022 – SGT German Private Equity GmbH & Co. KGaA (SGF), a listed Private Equity asset manager, was very profitable again in the first half of 2022. The management estimates net earnings in the first half-year of around 34 cents per share [IFRS cons., based on the 49,801,800 shares outstanding as of 30 June 2022 up until today]. Of this estimated amount, approximately 11 cents per share are resulting from the ongoing business in the "Asset Management" segment, -1 cent per share from the "Investment" segment, and 24 cents per share from the revaluation of a purchase price liability.

The management estimates the equity as of 30 June 2022 to be some EUR 115 million or around EUR 2.30 per share [IFRS Group, based on 49,801,800 shares].

SGT German Private Equity plans, as already announced, to make a public share buyback tender offer to its shareholders in the near future in a volume of around EUR 5 million. This corresponds to 8% of its market capitalisation. With regard to the determination of the offer price, the SGF management was authorised by the 2021 Annual General Meeting to offer the buyback at up to 20% above the 5-day XETRA average closing price prior to the date of the closing of the agreement underlying the buyback. The company’s last share buyback tender offer took place in 2020. At that time, the buyback price offered to shareholders was EUR 2.00 per share. The management is prepared to make the forthcoming share buy-back offer at the same or a higher price, provided that it is covered by the above-mentioned authorisation of the Annual General Meeting 2021 at the time of publication of the binding offer.
