CHORUS Clean Energy AG: Minimum acceptance threshold for takeover offer of Capital Stage AG achieved, additional acceptance period is expected to start on September 22, 2016

Neubiberg/Munich, September 14, 2016 - CHORUS Clean Energy AG, announces that as of today more than 50 percent of the CHORUS Clean Energy AG ("CHORUS") shareholders have accepted the voluntary public takeover offer by Capital Stage AG. The pre-agreed minimum acceptance ratio has thus been reached prematurely and the essential closing condition of the transaction is thereby fulfilled.

The acceptance period will end at midnight (CET) on September 16, 2016. CHORUS shareholders who have not yet tendered their shares have the opportunity to accept the exchange offer within an additional, legally prescribed acceptance period. The additional acceptance period will prospectively start on September 22, 2016 and end at midnight (CET) on October 5, 2016.
