Executive Board utilises favourable economic conditions

(Hamburg, 5 October 2007) Tipp24 has decided to carry out a further share
buyback programme. The current regulatory discussions provide favourable
economic conditions at present for this resolution of the Executive Board.
The company’s positive business development is not reflected in its current
share price. Up to 443,616 shares in Tipp24 AG are to be purchased during
the period 8 October 2007 to 31 March 2008 and used primarily as an
acquisition currency. From February to July 2007, Tipp24 AG already
acquired a total of 443,615 own shares, which it still holds. These
correspond to almost five percent of Tipp24 AG’s capital stock.
Dr. Hans Cornehl, CFO of Tipp24 AG, states: 'The capital market is not
currently honouring the clearly visible medium-term growth prospects of the
European lottery markets and the corresponding opportunities offered. We
have therefore taken the forward-looking decision to launch a further
buyback programme of Tipp24 shares.'
Details concerning the share buyback programme are posted on the Tipp24 AG
website (www.tipp24-ag.de). Every buyback will be announced here no later
than seven stock exchange trading days after the respective transaction.
