0.40 after extremely successful 2014 fiscal year

---------------------------------------------------------------------

At today's ordinary General Meeting of Ströer Media SE in Cologne, the
predominant resolutions proposed by the Supervisory Board and the Board of
Management were adopted with approval rates of well over 80%. More than 39
million shares (or around 80%) of Ströer Media SE's capital stock were
represented at the General Meeting.

An increase in the dividend to EUR 0.40 per dividend-bearing share was
resolved at today's General Meeting, following on from the first ever
dividend distribution in the history of the company in the prior year. The
actions of the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board
were approved for fiscal year 2014. In accordance with the recommendation
by the Supervisory Board, the General Meeting appointed Ernst & Young GmbH,
Cologne, as the auditor of the financial statements and the consolidated
financial statements for 2015. The applications for the waiver of the
separate disclosure of Management Board remuneration in the financial
statements and the consolidated financial statements and for the creation
of a new authorization for the issuance of convertible bonds and/or warrant
bonds, including the creation of new contingent capital, were not passed
due to the lack of a 75% majority.

Ströer continued to pursue its profitable growth strategy and, in the
figures for fiscal year 2014, presented the best result in its history. The
strategic realignment of the company as an integrated and increasingly
digital media company has successfully established Ströer's position on the
market and the company is now among Germany's leading media marketers. The
expansion of business activities with the addition of the Digital segment
was a major factor in this development. Thanks to its broad portfolio,
Ströer can offer its clients tailor-made communication solutions along the
entire value chain.

The significant rise in adjusted profit or loss by 55% to EUR 56.3m was a
particularly pleasing development. This result underlines the profitable
growth trajectory that the company embarked upon two years ago.

The positive development in operating business has also had a positive
