Montabaur, November 14, 2012. The Management Board and Supervisory Board of
United Internet AG today decided to exercise its option to purchase 25.1%
of shares in the parent company of Versatel AG, VictorianFibre Holding &
Co. S.C.A., a company belonging to funds managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
& Co. L.P. (together with its associated companies 'KKR').

This option was granted to United Internet when selling its Versatel shares
to KKR in May 2011. At the time, United Internet's sale paved the way for a
delisting of the company. Following its successful delisting and the
completion of restructuring measures, the key earnings figures and free
cash flow of Versatel have improved. KKR and United Internet have been
closely accompanying this development over the past months.

The shares are to be purchased in December 2012 by exercising the option
and converting the vendor loan (amounting to EUR 59.8 million) granted at
the time to KKR as part of the sale into shares in Versatel's parent
company.
