Dusseldorf, 01. February 2016 -

An assessment completed lets net mobile AG (ISIN DE0008137852) expect a € 17m allotment amount for its subsidiary net-m privatbank 1891 AG, as a member of Visa Europe Limited, through the takeover of Visa Europe Limited by Visa Inc. The planned takeover is under the caveat of authorisation through the appropriate regulating authorities and is expected to be completed within the coming 5 months.

After the appraisal of current information in regard to the takeover, net mobile AG assumes that its subsidiary can expect € 13m in cash and approx. € 4m in preferred shares of Visa Inc. during the current fiscal year. This amount might be amended depending on transaction costs as also through the justified objections of members of Visa Europe Limited. The review of these objections is expected to be completed in March 2016, resulting in the planned distribution of the determined amounts as final and binding.

Additionally, an Earn-Out Agreement is in prospect, which would involve a further payment to net-m privatbank 1891 AG four years after completion, presuming the acceptance of the agreement and that net-m privatbank 1891 AG remains a member of Visa for a further four years. The possible accrual is dependent on the business volume in the area of 'Creditcard-Aquiring-Services'.

As the amounts have not yet been finalised and because net mobile AG is in a sales process regarding the shares in net-m privatbank 1891 AG, the possible impact of the takeover and the Earn-Out Agreement on the evaluation and annual earnings of net mobile AG and net-m privatbank 1891 AG are still unknown.
