Press release

Liability claims settlement

Baar, September 16, 2016

In August 2015, Baar-based New Value AG sold its liability claims against former
directors and auditors to an investor.

Since then, the investor has continued to pursue negotiations with the former
directors and the former auditor. As of September 16, 2016 a settlement has been
reached between the parties. Under New Value AG's sale of claims agreement with
the investor, a substantial share of the payment received by the investor under
this settlement will flow back to New Value AG. The actual amount of this
payment will be known once the final accounting has been done.

Since possible revenues from the legal proceedings have not yet been taken into
account in the balance sheet thus far due to the high levels of uncertainty
regarding the duration of the proceedings and the scope of the compensation,
this payment will lead to a slight increase in New Value AG's Net Asset Value
(NAV).

The settlement was made under the condition that all damages claims against the
former Board chairman are also satisfied by this payment to the investor. Hence,
New Value AG's ongoing civil suit against the former Board chairman will be
withdrawn.
