ENR, together with certain other EPH investors, have sold their EPH shares to Valartis International Limited ("VIL") who, in turn, has sold all of these shares to the Liechtenstein-based Aurora Value Fund.

For the sale of its EPH Investment ENR will receive USD 16.45 million in cash on deal closing prior to year-end 2012. ENR could receive a further amount in several tranches over the coming years of up to USD 11.69 million, subject to EPH successfully completing and disposing of current real estate development projects. VIL will continue to provide real estate related project services to EPH for the next few years.

The transaction will have a positive impact on the net asset value of ENR.
