FinTech Group plans to make a gradual transition to quarterly reporting. To
further enhance transparency for investors, selected key ratios will be
published on a quarterly basis going forward. The XCOM Group, in which the
FinTech Group has held a majority stake since the end of March, will be
consolidated as of April 2015.

Relocation of company headquarters to Frankfurt

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of the FinTech Group held on 30 April,
the resolution to relocate the company headquarters from Kulmbach to
Frankfurt was approved by a large majority. This step underscores the
ambitions of the company. Herewith, the FinTech Group is moving much closer
to its customers and will be even better positioned to recruit highly
qualified talent. Along with the resolution on the relocation of the
Group's headquarters, the special meeting of shareholders also voted to
grant the Executive Board and Supervisory Board additional scope for a
possible increase in the registered capital. With this move, the FinTech
Group has positioned itself financially to respond decisively to investment
and growth opportunities, even at short notice.
