    IPO of PIOS Computer AG: a German High-Tech-Company Goes Public

    Hildesheim, July 1997

    Since more than one year, PIOS Computer AG is commited to design, manufacture and distribute a broad range of multimedia computer systems. While the assembly and distribution of PowerPCs is a well established business, PIOS is getting a huge demand on the new CHRP systems designed by the engineering team led by Dave Haynie, one of the "Godfathers of the Amiga".

    The development of this new exciting technology is meanwhile completed; now the company is going to raise additional capital to be invested in marketing and increase the manufacturing facilities.

    PIOS Computer AG publishes all information and documents regarding this Initial Public Offering on its Web site. The offering is going to happen under the jurisdiction of the Federal Republic of Germany. The prospectus (in German language) was filed to the authorities at the Bundesamt für den Wertpapierhandel. Interested investors can also order it by mail at the company´s offices.

    The investment into PIOS shares offers the chance to participate in the fast growing market of multimedia applications.

    Shares are available in two different packages:

    2,000 packages of 50 shares of common stock each, at a total price of DEM 1,000 per package and

    130 packages of 100 shares of preferred stock each, at a total price of DEM 1,500 per package.
