Deutsche Börse AG enters into a definitive agreement regarding the full
acquisition of 360T

Deutsche Börse AG and the shareholders of 360T Beteiligungs GmbH ("360T")
including Summit Partners 360 S.à.r.l. signed a definitive agreement
regarding the full acquisition of 360T by Deutsche Börse AG for a total
purchase price of 725 million Euro.

360T is a leading global FX trading platform catering to a broad customer
base including corporates, buy-side firms, and banks, with double-digit
annual revenue growth since its inception in 2000. The acquisition by
Deutsche Börse AG is expected to further accelerate 360T's organic growth
trajectory. In addition, the combination will facilitate significant
double-digit million Euro revenue synergies in the mid-term by utilising
Deutsche Börse Group's international distribution capabilities and
expertise.

Deutsche Börse AG plans to finance the acquisition via a combination of
debt and equity, with the aim to minimise a potential impact on the credit
rating. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to cash
earnings per share without synergies and will meet customary ROI targets
upon realisation of the mid-term synergy targets.

The completion of the transaction is subject to the approval by competition
and supervisory authorities.
