Dear Business Partner,

For almost a decade, we have dedicated ourselves to corporate carve-outs and companies in diverse special situations. Core of all AURELIUS investments is the potential to improve value by creating sustainable suc-cessful businesses through close operative supervision, ultimately resulting in job security, and stability with suppliers, customers and potential financiers.

Three key principles form our business philosophy:

1.) Financial stability is the foundation of all business activitiesBased and listed in Germany, we typically finance our transactions exclusively with equity, independent from banks and volatile debt markets.

2.) Continuity is the base for entrepreneurial partnershipsAs an active, long -term investor we build long-lasting relationships – with our portfolio companies to continuously create operational value, and with the sellers to ensure that AURELIUS is the preferred partner for future disposals. Quick flips are not a sus-tainable strategy.

3.) Responsibility towards employees and stakeholdersWe are aware of the responsibility we assume when we take on a new business with its employees. We know that lasting success in challenging times is highly dependent on the fair and constructive cooperation between employees, business partners and the new owner.

We would be delighted to be considered as transaction partner for upcoming transactions, and to demonstrate that we can provide a lasting ‘Good Home’ to your business.

Kind regards,

TRUSTED TRANSACTION PARTNER
