PRESS RELEASE

De Gruyter Acquires the Publisher Ontos
High-Quality Additions to De Gruyter's Philosophy Portfolio

Berlin, 2 May 2013 – De Gruyter is proud to announce that it has
acquired the German publisher Ontos, effective 1 May.

Ontos has a strong international orientation, publishing some 50
titles and three journals each year in the fields of philosophy and
mathematical logic. The publishing house's backlist comprises some 300
publications, 90% of which contain English content. All books and
journals are released in print as well as electronic form.

"This acquisition enhances both the quality and breadth of our
philosophy portfolio," says Anke Beck, Vice President of Humanities
Publishing at De Gruyter. "The 23 book series and three journals of
international repute published by Ontos represent a superb addition to
our existing portfolio, expanding it in the fields of logic, ontology,
metaphysics, and analytical philosophy."

Dr. Rafael Hüntelmann, who founded Ontos in 2003, will continue to
manage the publishing house's portfolio. All eBooks previously
available at Ontos' website can now be obtained at De Gruyter Online.
"We couldn't have found a better partner for the takeover of Ontos,"
says Dr. Rafael Hüntelmann.
