MIFA Mitteldeutsche Fahrradwerke AG: successful capital increase

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Sangerhausen, July 13, 2012 - MIFA Mitteldeutsche Fahrradwerke AG has
successfully concluded its cash capital increase with indirect subscription
rights for existing shareholders, which was approved on June 27, 2012. With
a subscription ratio exceeding 99% the popularity among existing
shareholders was exceptionally high.
With the entry of the capital increase into the commercial register -
prospectively this Friday, July 13, 2012 - the company's share capital was
increased by EUR 1.6 million, from previously EUR 8.0 million to EUR 9.6
million, whereby 1.6 million of new ordinary bearer shares were issued. The
new shares are fully dividend-entitled from January 1, 2012. All MIFA
shares will be admitted to trading in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange prospectively from July 17, 2012.
The company generated EUR 11.2 million of gross issue proceeds from the
capital increase. MIFA intends to utilise the proceeds primarily to finance
growth, and is planning potential strategic acquisitions both in Germany
and abroad in this context.
'I am very satisfied with the capital increase's success,' Peter Wicht,
Executive Board member of MIFA, commented on the conclusion of the
subscription period. 'We have broadened our shareholder structure and now
enjoy a significantly higher free float of around 33%. As the result of our
upgrade to the Prime Standard, we are now also subjecting ourselves to the
highest transparency standards, making the MIFA share even more attractive
for investors.' Specifically, MIFA aims to utilise the fresh capital to
continue on its growth path with e-bikes and to position the GRACE brand,
which was acquired in March, even more strongly, particularly among young
buyers.
Berenberg Bank managed the transaction as Sole Global Coordinator and Sole
Bookrunner and equinet Bank AG and Süddeutsche Aktienbank AG acted as
Selling Agents.
