Tipp24 SE has increased its share capital by EUR 400,000 from EUR 7,985,088
to EUR 8,385,088 against cash contributions through the partial exercise of
the company's Authorised Capital as adopted by the Annual General Meeting
of 29 June 2011 and under the exclusion of shareholder subscription rights.
The 400,000 new, registered, no-par value shares were placed with qualified
investors and other selected investors outside the United States of
America, Canada, Australia and Japan in an accelerated bookbuilding at a
price of EUR 40.00 per new share. The issue was oversubscribed multiple
times.

The company will receive gross proceeds from the capital increase of EUR 16
million. Tipp24 SE intends to use the net issue proceeds from the capital
increase primarily to finance projects related to its internationalisation
strategy as well as for the medium-term funding of the performance of its
group holding functions.

The new shares are to be admitted for trading on the regulated market
(Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange without a prospectus.
Berenberg Bank has acted as sole bookrunner for the capital increase.
