Ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to § 15 WpHG 
(German Securities Trading Act) 
 
Tipp24: Group earnings for 2006 higher than expected 
 
Share buyback programme agreed 
 
(Hamburg, 12 February 2007) The company increased the number of its 
customers considerably to about 1.8 million (previous year: 1.3 million) in 
the 2006 business year. The transaction volume – essentially lottery 
tickets that are sold – climbed to EUR 264.2 (204.7) million, growth of 
29.1 per cent. The sales generated by Tipp24 of EUR 34.6 (26.1) million 
were up 32.6 per cent, which was within the forecast growth range. 
 
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) improved by 20.0 per cent to EUR 
7.2 (6.0) million. Group earnings increased far more – more than doubling 
to EUR 7.5 (3.3) million, an increase of 127.3 per cent. Tipp24‘s Group 
earnings were higher than expected as a result. 
 
The management board of Tipp24 AG has decided to implement a share buyback 
programme. This decision is based on a resolution passed by the Annual 
Shareholders‘ Meeting on 18. May 2006, which authorised Tipp24 AG to buy 
its own shares back until 18. November 2007. 
 
Up to five per cent of the share capital, i.e. 443,615 shares, are to be 
acquired in the context of the share buyback programme. The programme is 
starting on 19. February and ending on 30. September 2007. The price Tipp24 
AG pays per share (excluding incidental acquisition costs) is not allowed 
to exceed 10 per cent more or less than the stock market price. The 
authoritative stock market price in this context is the average final price 
of the Tipp24 AG share in XETRA trading at Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the 
last three stock exchange trading days before the shares are acquired. In 
addition to this, the shares will not be acquired at prices that are above 
the last independently made sale or, if it is higher, the last independent 
offer to buy the shares in XETRA trading or floor trading at Frankfurt 
Stock Exchange. 
 
Tipp24 AG has commissioned a bank to buy back the shares. This means that 
the decisions about the timing and volume of each share purchase will be 
taken independently, on the condition that the shares are bought at the 
best possible price, maintaining the interests of Tipp24. No more than 25 
per cent of the average daily turnover with the Tipp24 AG shares in XETRA 
trading or floor trading at Frankfurt Stock Exchange will be acquired per 
day. The average daily share turnover is calculated on the basis of the 
average daily trading volume in the relevant trading segment during the 20 
stock exchange trading days before the date of purchase. 
 
The primary purpose of the share buyback programme is to use the shares 
acquired as consideration within the framework of company mergers or to 
acquire companies or interests in companies. In addition to this, some or 
all of the shares acquired can be withdrawn instead. All the buyback 
transactions will be announced on the Tipp24 AG website (www.tipp24-ag.de) 
after they have been completed.
