Kiel, September 2, 2014 - The Hesse Ministry of the Interior and for Sport
has today announced its intention to award a licence for the conducting of
sports betting in Germany to Personal Exchange International Ltd., a group
company of mybet Holding SE. The licence will not be issued until September
18, 2014 at the earliest. This delay is intended to give parties whose
licence applications were rejected an opportunity for legal recourse,
potentially with an impact on the granting of the licence to Personal
Exchange International Ltd.

Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:

Chief Executive Officer Sven Ivo Brinck remarked: 'We are delighted at the
news that our application ranks among the twenty best and that the ministry
intends to grant a licence to our group company. It will necessitate
adjustments within the company that present both opportunities and risks
for our business operations. We also need to bear in mind that those
parties whose applications for a licence have been turned down may appeal
against the decision of the Hesse Ministry of the Interior by way of
interim proceedings. That makes it uncertain whether the licences will be
issued straight away in two weeks' time or only once any such proceedings
have been concluded. It is also unclear whether and subject to what
conditions the competitors whose applications have been rejected may
continue to operate their sports betting range in Germany while court
proceedings are still in progress. We will prepare thoroughly for every
scenario.'
