The Executive Board of Borussia Dortmund Geschäftsführungs-GmbH, which
company is acting as the general partner of Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co.
Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (Partnership Limited by Shares -
hereinafter: "the Company"), has, on today's date and with the approval of
the Supervisory Board which was granted on this same day, decided to
increase the Company's capital stock in return for cash contribution,
excluding the subscription rights of the limited shareholders. The capital
increase is based upon a resolution of the shareholders' meeting which, on
30 November 2010, had authorised the general partner to resolve a capital
increase which has now decided to make partial use of the authorisation
established by the respective shareholders' resolution.

The Company's stock capital, which presently amounts to 61,425,000.00 EUR,
consisting of 61,425,000 non-par value bearer shares, will be increased by
an amount of 6,120,011.00 EUR by issuing 6,120,011 new non-par value bearer
shares for an issue price of 4.37 EUR per new share. This issue price
conforms to the unweighted average closing rate for one share noted at the
Exchange Electronic Trading ("Xetra-Handel") at the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange as of the last five trading days prior to today's date, minus 5
per cent of the stock exchange price so determined. The new shares will be
entitled to a share in profits from the beginning of the Company's business
year 2014/2015 (commencing 1 July 2014) on, while they are not entitled to
a share in profits as regards the Company's business year 2013/2014.

The right to subscribe for the share issues and to receive the new shares
has been granted to Evonik Industries AG, Essen, Germany ("Evonik"), and
Evonik has undertaken to subscribe for such shares. All further steps to
give effect to such capital increase are now being taken. Once the capital
increase has been performed, entered in the Commercial Register and thus
become effective, the Company's stock capital will have been increased to a
total of 67,545,011.00 EUR. Evonik will then be the Company's second
largest shareholder with a voting interest of app. 9.06 percent of the
