Marburg (pta004/03.09.2022/19:30 UTC+2)

• Sale of shares to a subsidiary of Exact Group B.V., Delft, the Netherlands, agreed
• The agreement is based on an assumed equity value of around EUR 227 million

Marburg, September 3, 2022 - 3U HOLDING AG (ISIN: DE0005167902) has today signed an agreement with a subsidiary of Exact Group B.V., Delft, the Netherlands, on the sale of all shares it holds in weclapp SE. The sale implies an equity value of around EUR 227 million for all shares. 3U HOLDING AG holds around 71 % of the shares. The transaction is not subject to any closing conditions and is expected to be completed in September 2022. Ertan Özdil remains CEO of weclapp SE; companies, brands and products of weclapp will be continued.

3U HOLDING AG realises a significant increase in value through the separation from weclapp SE. The Management Board of 3U HOLDING AG expects that the sales forecast for the 2022 financial year will be achieved, as the weclapp SE subgroup will not be deconsolidated but after the closing of the transaction. On the other hand, the income from the transaction will reach the lower three-digit million-euro range for EBITDA and consolidated earnings, so that the earnings forecasts will be exceeded to a considerable extent.

The Management Board and Supervisory Board are considering allowing the shareholders to participate in the success of the transaction by distributing an appropriate dividend for the 2022 financial year.
