About ADC 
ADC African Development Corporation, ISIN DE000A1E8NW9 (ticker symbol:
AZC.GR), a member of the Angermayer, Brumm & Lange Group, was established
in September 2007 and quickly positioned itself as one of the leading
investors for banks and insurance companies in the above-average growth
markets of sub-Saharan Africa. The company's success is primarily due to
its local management team, which follows international best practice
principles to further develop banks and implements conventional
international processes to in-crease their profitability. As the second
international emerging market investor in the world, ADC was integrated 
into the insurance solution offered by the Multilateral Investment
Guarantee Agency ('MIGA'), a member of the World Bank Group, primarily due
to its strong operational approach and adherence to the highest ethical
standards. This insurance offers protection against a variety of political
risks, in particular the risk of radical political change.
