New Venturetec: Result expectation for the fiscal year 2014/2015 ended September 30, 2015

Steinhausen, October 5, 2015. New Venturetec ended its fiscal year 2014/15 on September 30, 2015. Based on the current valuations of the portfolio companies New Venturetec expects a consolidated net gain of approximately USD 15,000,000 or USD 3.00 per share. The main reasons for the gain is the increase of the traded share price of Osiris Therapeutics from USD 12.59 per share to USD 18.47 per share. The gain was reduced by the decrease of the valuation of the private company mPortal from USD 0.50 to USD 0.31 per share and the loss of the investment in Reverb Networks in the reporting period. The estimated numbers could change materially during the course of the end year valuation process of the portfolio, which will be done in the coming weeks. The final annual financials, together with the annual report of New Venturetec 2014/15 will be published on November 11, 2015.

New Venturetec did not give any guidance on its performance for the fiscal year 2014/15 and has never done so in the past.
