Deutsche Rohstoff AG: 72% of dividend will be distributed tax-free

Heidelberg. If the Annual General Meeting - as proposed by the Executive
and Supervisory Board - votes to distribute a dividend of EUR 0,50 per
share for the financial year 2014, then 72% of the dividend, or
approximately EUR 0.36 will be paid out without holding of capital gains
tax and the solidarity surcharge (a total of around 26.375%). Only for
about 28% of the dividend, or approximately EUR 0.14, the taxes will be
deducted as usual. Of the total dividend of EUR 0.50 a net amount of
approximately EUR 0.46 will be paid out. Payment of the dividend will be
made on 22 July 2015.

The reason for this tax treatment is that only 28% of the dividend for the
financial year 2014 will be supplied from the so-called distributable
profit by 28%. About 72% will be distributed from the tax
reserve account, as defined in § 27 by the Corporate Income Tax Act
(Körperschaftsteuergesetz). On this portion of the dividend no deduction of
capital gains tax and solidarity surcharge will be made; so far no tax
refund nor a tax credit opportunity will be connected to this part of the
dividend. Instead, according to the German tax authorities as far as the
payout is based on the deposit account, the acquisition cost of the shares
will be adjusted proportionately.
