Deutsche Börse AG: Deutsche Börse AG subsidiary Clearstream decides to
settle with OFAC

After a thorough analysis, the competent boards within Deutsche Börse Group
decided today to resolve an investigation by the US Treasury Department's
Office of Foreign Assets Control ('OFAC'). Clearstream Banking S.A.
('Clearstream') has agreed to settle with OFAC based on a payment of USD
151,902,000. Within the scope of its investigation, OFAC had looked into
Clearstream's maintenance of an omnibus account in the United States and
certain securities transfers within the Clearstream settlement system in
2008. These transfers had related to the decision taken by Clearstream in
2007 to close its Iranian customers' accounts. Deutsche Börse AG had
already informed about the opportunity to settle by way of ad hoc
disclosure on 28 October 2013.
