ASMALLWORLD AG (SWX: ASWN) launches share placement of up to 813'715 new shares
via accelerated book-building at CHF 11.50 per share

Zurich, 29.05.2018 - ASMALLWORLD AG today announced the start of an accelerated
book-building for the placement of up to 813'715 newly registered shares with a
nominal value of CHF 1.00 per share. This placement will increase the share
capital of ASMALLWORLD AG by a maximum of 9.99%. The net proceeds of the capital
increase will be used to finance investment or acquisition projects.

The transaction, which is aimed exclusively at institutional investors, takes
place in the form of an undocumented private placement, excluding the
subscription rights of existing shareholders. The new shares will be created
from the existing authorized capital of the company and will be offered
exclusively to institutional investors in Switzerland and to qualified investors
outside Switzerland and the US. The book-building starts immediately at a
placement price of CHF 11.50. The number of new shares will be announced upon
completion of the book-building, expected on May 30, 2018.

The newly created shares are expected to be listed on June 1, 2018 and admitted
to trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The delivery of the new shares against
payment of the placement price is expected to take place on June 4, 2018. The
newly created shares will be treated equal to the existing shares, including
full dividend entitlement for the financial year 2018.

The proceeds are used to finance investment or acquisition projects.

Hauck & Aufhäuser Privatbankiers AG acts as sole bookrunner in the context of
the placement.
