-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company Information/Change of stock market segment 14.12.2011 The Management Board of MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG (ISIN DE00051587603 / WKN 518760) today decided to move the company´s shares from the General Standard of the regulated market to the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The company will today file an application for the cancellation of the shares´ admission to the General Standard of the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Once the cancellation is confirmed, the company will apply for the shares to be traded in the Entry Standard of the open market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. MPC Capital expects the shares´ admission to the Entry Standard to become effective at the end of the first half of 2012. The change of the stock market segment is aimed at reducing the financial and organisational additional efforts associated, in particular, with the listing in the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. In the present market environment, the Entry Standard offers an appropriate balance between shareholders´ justified interest in transparency and the efforts and expenses associated with the stock market listing. The MPC Capital share remains fully tradable at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange including the electronic trading system of Deutsche Börse (Xetra). Also, the liquidity of the share will continue to be supported by a designated sponsor. Already on November 18, 2011, MPC Capital AG had applied for the change from the Prime Standard to the General Standard of the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. At the same time, the company had filed an application for the cancellation of the shares´ admission to regulated trading at the Hanseatic Stock Exchange with the Hamburg Stock Exchange. Meanwhile the Frankfurt stock exchange has approved the application for the cancellation of the shares´ admission to the Prime Standard. Therefore the MPC Capital share will be listed in the General Standard of the regulated market as of February 29th, 2012. According to the application of MPC Capital AG the admission of the shares of the company to be traded on the regulated market of the Hanseatic Stock Exchange has been cancelled by Hamburg Stock Exchange and will become effective as of February 29th, 2012.
