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.

Resolution 4: To change the amount and form of the remuneration of the
