Scout24 AG admitted to SDAX

  - SDAX listing to start on December 21, 2015 

  - Decision underlines attractiveness of share

  - Management Board aims for rapid MDAX membership

Berlin / Munich, December 4, 2015 - Only shortly after its successful IPO
in October, Scout24 AG, leading operator of digital marketplaces
specializing in the real estate and automotive sectors in Germany and other
selected European countries, will be admitted to the SDAX as of December
21, 2015. This decision was announced by the Working Committee for Equity
Indices at Deutsche Börse AG, Frankfurt / Main, after yesterday's regular
review of the small-cap index.

"Only two months have passed since we successfully realized our IPO, and
that despite a difficult market climate. Since then, our shares have
performed stably. We are delighted by this rapid admission to the SDAX,
which is certain to significantly boost the attractiveness of our shares.
Our objective now is to be admitted to the MDAX, if possible in 2016
already. With our fast-growing, highly profitable business model, we have
everything it takes to build a sustainable success story", comments
Christian Gisy, CFO of Scout24 AG, with regard to the company's long-term
objectives.

The Deutsche Börse blue-chip indices, namely the DAX, MDAX, SDAX and
TecDAX, comprise 160 stocks in total, of which 50 in the SDAX. The most
important selection criteria are free float market capitalization and stock
market trading volumes. With a free float of 31.7 percent and free float
market capitalization of Euro 1.0 billion (as of November 30), Scout24 AG
will be one of the largest stocks in the SDAX in future. The share will
therefore be correspondingly weighted in the various index funds.
