RHJI Announces Sale of Stake in SigmaXYZ

(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


Brussels, September 10, 2013 - RHJ International ("RHJI") announces today that
it has sold half of its 21.8% stake in business consulting services company
SigmaXYZ to a number of Japanese buyers, including Intec, IIJ (Internet
Initiative Japan Inc.) and Wacom. The individual sales transactions, which have
now closed, generated total gross proceeds of ?7.4 million (JPY977 million),
representing 1.7 times the ?4.3 million pro rata carrying value of the stakes
sold. RHJI continues to evaluate options to divest its remaining 10.9% stake in
SigmaXYZ.

RHJ International's Chief Executive Officer, Leonhard Fischer, commented:

"We are very pleased to announce today's transaction, which represents one of
the last disposals from our legacy industrial portfolio. We continue to evaluate
options to divest our remaining stakes in Shaklee and SigmaXYZ, which
collectively now represent less than 2% of our total investment portfolio."
