windeln.de successfully places shares at EUR 18.50

Munich, 5 May 2015. windeln.de AG ("windeln.de" or the "Company"), one of
the leading and fastest growing online retailers for baby, toddler and
children products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which has also
established a successful e-commerce business of selling baby products to
customers located in China, has set the offer price for shares in
connection with its initial public offering ("IPO") at EUR18.50 per share.
The offer price is thus at the mid-point of the price range from EUR16.50
to EUR20.50 per share. The offering was well oversubscribed at the offer
price.

A total of 11,404,899 shares of windeln.de were placed, thereof 5,400,000
newly issued ordinary bearer shares from a capital increase, 4,517,304
existing ordinary bearer shares from the holdings of the selling
shareholders, and 1,487,595 existing ordinary bearer shares in connection
with an over-allotment. In connection with the over-allotment, existing
shares are borrowed from certain selling shareholders, which could be
settled with newly issued shares from the Company ("Greenshoe Option").

"We are particularly happy with the strong demand for the windeln.de shares
and are looking forward to the first trading day. The positive responses
that we have received from investors confirm the attractiveness of our
business model", said Alexander Brand, management board member and
co-founder of windeln.de. Konstantin Urban, management board member and
co-founder of windeln.de, added: "We believe that windeln.de is very well
positioned to capture the opportunities of our market. The IPO will help us
to continue on our growth path."

The total offer volume amounts to approximately EUR211 million (including
over-allotment) based on the offer price. The Company will receive gross
proceeds of approximately EUR100 million from the sale of the new shares.
Provided that the Greenshoe Option is exercised, resulting in the issue of
additional new shares, the total gross proceeds for the Company amount to
approximately EUR127 million. All main existing shareholders of windeln.de
will remain invested in the Company. The resulting initial free float will
amount to approximately 42 percent of the Company's post-IPO share capital,
assuming full exercise of the Greenshoe Option.

The shares of windeln.de will be traded on the regulated market (Prime
Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WDL from
6 May 2015 (WKN: WNDL11, ISIN: DE000WNDL110).

BofA Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs International are
acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners. Berenberg and
COMMERZBANK have been mandated as additional Joint Bookrunners.
