GRENKELEASING AG
Baden-Baden

Notification of the conversion from no-par value bearer shares to no-par
value registered shares and the conversion of the stock-market listing

• ISIN DE0005865901 (old) - WKN 586590 (old) -
• ISIN DE000A161N30 (new) - WKN A161N3 (new) -

The ticker symbol GLJ remains unchanged.

On May 12, 2015, the Annual General Meeting of GRENKELEASING AG,
Baden-Baden, resolved a conversion of no-par value bearer shares into
no-par value registered shares, among others.

The corresponding changes to the Articles of Association were entered into
the Company's commercial register at the District Court - Registration
Court of Mannheim (HRB 201836) on May 21, 2015 and thereby made effective.
The Company's share capital in the amount of EUR 18,859,255.47 is now
divided into 14,754,199 no-par value registered shares.

The custody account and stock exchange conversion to registered shares will
take place on July 10, 2015, after the stock market's close. The shares
held in custody accounts at financial institutions will be converted from
no-par value bearer shares of GRENKELEASING AG into no-par value registered
shares of GRENKELEASING AG each at a ratio of 1:1. The conversion of the
shares and the stock-market listing will take place simultaneously. Open
orders on the stock exchange that have not been executed by July 10, 2015,
will be cancelled as a result of the conversion.

As per July 13, 2015, the shares of GRENKELEASING AG will be listed as
no-par value registered shares in the regulated market of all domestic
stock exchanges as well as in the regulated market subsection with
additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) on the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange. From that point forward, only the no-par value registered
shares of GRENKELEASING AG under the new ISIN DE000A161N30 will be
deliverable on the stock market solely in collective safe custody.

The share capital divided into no-par value registered shares is
securitised in one global certificate deposited with Clearstream Banking
AG, Frankfurt/Main. The Company's shareholders will have a stake in the
holdings in collective safe custody at Clearstream Banking AG in proportion
to their ownership interest as co-owners.

The conversion to no-par value registered shares requires the maintenance
of a share register that lists the last name, first name, birthdate and
address of GRENKELEASING AG's shareholders, as well as the number of shares
of GRENKELEASING AG they hold. Therefore, the entry into the share register
is important for each single shareholder because only those entered into
the Company's register as shareholders are regarded by the Company as
shareholders and are authorised to participate in and to exercise their
voting rights at the Annual General Meeting.

The legal status of a shareholder is not affected by the conversion from
no-par value bearer shares into no-par value registered shares when the
shareholder is listed in the share register. The shareholder's ownership in
the Company also remains unchanged as do the rights of the shareholder
associated with the shareholder's shares. Additionally, the shareholder's
right to sell his or her shares will not be restricted or impeded; in
particular, the consent of the Company is not required for the transfer of
registered shares of GRENKELEASING AG.

The acting settlement agent is

DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt/Main.

The conversion from no-par value bearer shares to no-par value registered
shares is free of charge to shareholders.
