EXPLANATION OF BUSINESS

The notes below explain the proposed resolutions. Resolutions 1 to 3 are
proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those
resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in
favour of the resolution.

Resolution 1: Annual Report and Accounts
The directors must present their report and the Company's accounts for the
year ended 31 December 2013 to shareholders at the AGM. The Annual Report
and Accounts contain the consolidated annual financial statements and group
management report as at 31 December 2013, the voluntary special report of
the Supervisory Board, the statutory annual financial statements and
management report of Tipp24 SE as well as the auditors' statements
regarding both the consolidated and annual financial statements.

Resolution 2: Appointment of auditors
Resolution 2 proposes the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's
auditors, until the conclusion of the Company's next general meeting at
which accounts are laid.

Resolution 3: Authorisation of the Supervisory Board to agree the auditors'
remuneration Resolution 3 authorises the Supervisory Board to determine the
auditors' remuneration.

Resolution 4: To change the amount and form of the remuneration of the
members of the Supervisory Board Resolution 4 increases the amount of remuneration
for Supervisory Board members, in respect of the financial year ending 31 December
2014 and subsequent financial years, from EUR 40,000 to EUR 45,500. The
remuneration of the chairman has been raised from a multiple of 2.5 to a multiple
of 3 times this amount, and the remuneration of the deputy chairman has been
raised from a multiple of 1.5 to a multiple of 2 times this amount. In addition,
the amount of remuneration for a member of the Supervisory Board being a member of
a committee has been raised from EUR 13,500 to EUR 17,500, and a new multiple of 2
times this amount has been applied to the chairmanship of a committee. These
changes result from an investigation performed at the request of the Supervisory
Board. The Supervisory Board engaged Board Consultants International to review the
appropriateness of the remuneration of the Supervisory Board. The consultants
performed several interviews with members of the Supervisory Board as well as an
external market analysis. The analyses concluded that the business of the Company
is strongly influenced by a highly dynamic regulatory environment. As a result,
the time investment required for a non-executive Board member is significantly
higher than the industry average. This additional time investment is currently not
reflected in the remuneration of the Supervisory Board. The proposed remuneration
scheme takes the specific situation of the Company into account and has been
deemed appropriate by the remuneration consultants.

DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED
This notice of meeting is being sent to all members and all CI Holders (as
defined in the Company's statutes) (collectively, 'Shareholders') as well
as all Company directors, together with an 'intention to attend' form and a
proxy form.

ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE

statutes, specifies that only those Shareholders entered in the register of

the appropriate Register of Members 48 hours before the time

disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at
the AGM.

Shareholder) to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak
and vote at the AGM, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the
rights attached to a different share or shares held by his appointer. A

someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has
no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he may,
under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the
Shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.

The statement of Shareholders' rights in relation to proxy appointment
described above under Proxies above does not apply to Nominated Persons.

representative should contact Computershare by email to
[email protected] or by telephone on +49 89 30903-74675.

In accordance with section 527 of the Companies Act 2006, members meeting
the requirements set out in that section have the right to require the
Company to publish on a website a statement setting out matters relating
to: (i) the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditor's report
and the conduct of the audit) which are to be laid before the next annual
general meeting; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of the
Company ceasing to hold office since the last annual general meeting that
the members propose to raise at the AGM. The Company may not require the
members requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in
complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Companies Act 2006. Where the
Company is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of
the Companies Act 2006, it must send the statement to its auditor no later

Company has been required to publish on a website under section 527 of the

Any Shareholder attending the AGM has the right to ask questions. The
Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the
business being dealt with at the AGM but no such answer need be given if:
(i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the AGM or
involve the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) the answer has
already been provided on a website in the form of an answer to a question,
or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good
order of the AGM that the question be answered.
