Unterföhring, Germany, November 3, 2016. The Executive Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE resolved today with the approval of the Supervisory Board to increase the Company's share capital against cash contribution by approximately 6.5 % through a partial utilization of its authorized capital. The share capital of the Company will thereby be increased from EUR 218,797,200.00 by a nominal amount of EUR 14,202,800.00 to EUR 233,000,000.00 by issuing 14,202,800 new registered no-par value shares under exclusion of the shareholders' preemptive rights. The new shares will carry full dividend rights as of January 1, 2016. The proceeds will primarily contribute to the financing of the Company's growth strategy by the acquisition of other companies and interests in other companies in particular in the digital space. The capital increase will furthermore serve general corporate purposes as well as support the strengthening of the Company's balance sheet. The earnings oriented dividend policy of the company remains unaffected from this transaction. The new shares will be offered within the context of a private placement to institutional investors by way of an accelerated bookbuilding offering. The placement shall be concluded by November 4, 2016. The placement price will be determined by the Executive Board with the approval of the Supervisory Board after conclusion of the placement and will not be substantially below the current stock market price of the existing shares. As the existing shares of the company, the new shares will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with concurrent admission in the Prime Standard segment as well as on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The new shares are expected to be included, without a prospectus, in the quotation of the existing shares on November 9, 2016. In connection with the capital increase, the Company has accepted a so- called lock-up according to which the Company agreed vis-à-vis the placement banks with certain exceptions, inter alia, not to issue further new shares or respective preemptive /conversion rights for a period of three months.
