Le Bouveret, January 12, 2011 – Mr Martin Kisseleff, President of the Board of U.C. César RitzColleges AG is proud to announce the change of ownership of the César Ritz Colleges Group, which operates two campuses in Le Bouveret and Brig, Switzerland, to Invision Private Equity AG, a leading Swiss Private Equity firm.

Mr Kisseleff and Mr Schwestermann, sole shareholders of U.C. César Ritz Colleges AG, sold 100% of the shares of the company which manages school operations in Switzerland and academic affairs in six affiliated colleges in Australia, New Zealand, India, United Arab Emirates, Iceland and Spain.
Invision’s new ownership guarantees the sustainabilityand further growth of the Colleges in the Canton of Valais and around the world.This objective requires a top management team, competent and competitive in the private higher education sector, knowledgeable of the specificities of Swiss hotel school management and business strategies. Also required is a strong sales and marketing team, capable of recruiting an ever-growing number of new students from over 70 countries. The development of new programmes and new technologies has become essential, requiring an invaluable international network, which will continuously be expanded. Mr Kisseleff’s healthcondition does not allow him to continueat the required rhythm for the future.

César Ritz Colleges has a global reputation within the international hotel management education sector and among the international hospitality employers who regularly come to Le Bouveret and Brig to recruit César Ritz graduates. In addition, César Ritz Colleges has a strong and active alumni network of over 10,000 graduates grouped in more than 30 chapters worldwide.

César Ritz Colleges as well as SEG schools are members of the “Swiss Hotel Schools Association” (ASEH), the only quality control organization of Swiss hotel schools. The management team of both SEG schools and César Ritz Colleges know each other well, not only because of their ASEH presence, but also due to the proximity between Montreux and Le Bouveret.

Invision is keen to maintain the unique identity and traditions of César Ritz Colleges, and therefore the management of César Ritz Colleges will remain independent of the Swiss Education Group.

Mr Ronan Fitzgerald has been appointed as Managing Director. He will take over ?management of the César Ritz Colleges groups’ activities as of mid January 2011.Mr Fitzgerald brings great experience in hotel management education.
