Lenovo Group's wholly-owned subsidiary Lenovo Germany will buy all 8.874 million option shares of Medion AG at the price of EUR13 per share from Gerd Brachmann, a major Medion shareholder.

Under the agreement signed by the two parties, the consideration shares, when issued to Brachmann, will be subject to a maximum lock-up period of 60 months as of the sale and purchase agreement closing date, i.e. July 29, 2011, and subsequently after each 12 months of the sale and purchase agreement closing date, one-fifth of the consideration shares will be released from such lock-up restrictions.
