Information by the bidder:

Amadeus Corporate Business AG decided today to offer to the shareholders of

i:FAO Aktiengesellschaft (‘i:FAO’) to acquire their non-par-value

registered shares (auf den Namen lautende Stückaktien) in i:FAO with a pro

rata participation in the registered capital of EUR 1.00 (‘i:FAO-Shares’)

by way of a voluntary public tender offer (freiwilliges öffentliches

Ewerbsangebot).

Amadeus Corporate Business AG intends to offer to the shareholders of i:FAO

a cash consideration for their i:FAO-Shares in the amount of the volume

weighted average national stock exchange price of the i:FAO-Shares during

the past six months prior to this announcement (cf. section 31(1) German

Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act in conjunction with section 39(3)

sentence 2 German Stock Exchange Act) per i:FAO-Share as determined by the

German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority. Amadeus Corporate Business

AG estimates this amount at EUR 27.56. Other than that the tender offer

will be made on the terms stipulated in the offer document. Amadeus

Corporate Business AG reserves the right that, to the extent legally

permissible, the final terms of the offer deviate from the key parameters

set out herein.

i:FAO undertook towards Amadeus Corporate Business AG to apply for the

withdrawal of the admission to trade i:FAO-Shares at the regulated market

(General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter

Wertpapierbörse) pursuant to section 39(2) German Stock Exchange Act (so

called delisting).

Important notice: This announcement shall neither constitute an offer to

purchase or sell nor an invitation to make an offer to purchase or sell

i:FAO-Shares. The final terms and conditions of the tender offer will be

published in the offer document, once the German Federal Financial

Supervisory Authority has permitted the publication of the offer document.

Investors and shareholders of i:FAO are strongly recommended to read the

offer document and the other relevant documents in connection with the

tender offer, which include important information, once such documents have

been published.
