Montabaur, April 27, 2015. United Internet AG today contractually secured -
via its subsidiary United Internet Ventures AG - the purchase of an approx.
9.1% equity stake in Drillisch AG, Maintal. The acquisition can only be
closed after the relevant approval has been granted by Germany's Federal
Cartel Office.

When the purchase is closed, United Internet AG will have a total indirect
holding of 20.7% in Drillisch AG via its acquired and contractually agreed
interests.

United Internet regards Drillisch AG as a well-positioned company with
promising market opportunities. The product portfolio and target groups of
Drillisch AG fit well with the Access business of the United Internet
Group.

As a strategic shareholder, United Internet will accompany the further
development of Drillisch AG and profit from its growth.

However, United Internet AG does not currently intend to acquire an equity
stake of 30% or more in Drillisch AG - which would oblige it to submit a
mandatory bid to all other shareholders of Drillisch AG - nor to make a
voluntary takeover bid.
