NEW VALUE AG: Change in valuation for Bogar AG, sale of portfolio companies

Baar (pta044/20.12.2019/18:15 UTC+1) Baar, December 20, 2019

Based on the planning of Bogar AG for the year 2020, which was recently adopted by its Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of New Value AG has made a reassessment of the company. Based on the year-end closing of Bogar AG, which will be worse than expected, the Board of Directors of New Value AG judges the (previous) assumptions for the multi-year planning of Bogar AG as too ambitious, despite the expected positive development of Bogar AG in 2020. The revised valuation results in a value adjustment of Bogar AG of CHF 587`474 (from CHF 0.35 per share to CHF 0.26 per share). This adjustment impairs the NAV (Net Asset Value) of New Value AG by CHF 0.18 per share.

The sale of Swiss Diagnostic AG, which was announced in the half-year report, could be closed in December at NAV-Value.

Sensimed SA could be sold to the japanese company Seed Co. Ltd. With this sale the bankruptcy of the company could be avoided. The sale of the already fully impaired shares (see press release of November 26, 2019) resulted in a marginal revenue for New Value AG.
