We also sold our investment in the Hübner/Medopharm group, which<br />
we held via Euvita GmbH & Co. KG, to Nordzucker <strong>AG</strong>. The sale of<br />
Gong Verlag GmbH in November <strong>2000</strong>, subsequent to the close of<br />
financial year 1999/<strong>2000</strong>, marks the successful completion of the<br />
restructuring of the Sebaldus group. You will find a detailed account of<br />
this project in “Special report: A management buyout that triggered<br />
dynamic change” on pages 13-19.<br />

Expansion financing investments focus on supporting investee companies<br />
in reaching commonly defined objectives. Our capital and know-how<br />
allow achieving these objectives more effectively and within a shorter<br />
timespan. A typical example is an investment in a company in the pre-IPO<br />
stage. Frequently, enterprises will seek a stock market listing, but require<br />
additional capital and support to create the organizational structures for<br />
flotation.<br />
New investments<br />
In 1999/<strong>2000</strong>, three new projects in this business field were: ad pepper<br />
media N.V., Rheinhold & Mahla <strong>AG</strong> and schlott sebaldus <strong>AG</strong>.
