bmp Holding AG: Jens Spyrka leaves Executive Board

Berlin, 07.09.2015 - Jens Spyrka, member of the Executive Board of bmp
Holding AG (ISIN DE000330200), is stepping down from his position on the
company's Executive Board as of today at his own request.

His resignation is a direct consequence of bmp's reorientation from an
early-phase VC for digital media and marketing services to an e-commerce
group with the Executive Board member Oliver Borrmann managing and taking
responsibility for content. It is taking place on very positive and
amicable terms. The Supervisory Board would like to thank him for his
constantly dedicated work and great loyalty to the company.
Jens Spyrka will continue to handle the successive sale of the investment
portfolio of bmp Holding AG, reported as discontinued operations, in his
role as an Executive Board member of bmp Beteiligungsmanagement AG.

"With his commitment to innovative start-up companies, Jens Spyrka has made
a key contribution to bmp's positive development and the fact that it has
established itself as one of the most experienced VC companies in Germany
and Poland," says Gerd Schmitz-Morkramer, Chairman of the Supervisory Board
of bmp Holding AG, recognising Jens Spyrka's work on the company's behalf.
"But with our restructuring as an e-commerce group, we have now started out
on a new path. We can therefore understand Jens Spyrka's decision to leave
the Executive Board. Nevertheless, the entire Supervisory Board very much
regrets his departure."

Oliver Borrmann, founder and also an Executive Board member of bmp, adds;
"I would like to thank him for the four years that we have worked together
on the Executive Board of bmp Holding AG and for his consistently open,
constructive and exciting collaboration. At the same time, I am delighted
that we still have him at our side as a reliable and experienced partner
for supporting our VC investments."

Jens Spyrka has worked for bmp since 1999 and has been responsible for more
than 40 investments and many successful exits in Central and Eastern Europe
and in the area of media and marketing services. From 2000 to 2007 he was
also managing director of a EUR10 million parallel fund with DEG - Deutsche
Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft, which was managed by bmp
Holding at that time. In addition, he oversaw bmp Holding AG's admission as
the first German company on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in a dual listing in
2004; the company is still listed here in parallel today.

Oliver Borrmann will now initially act as the sole Executive Board member
of bmp Holding AG. In the medium term, the Executive Board level is to be
expanded based on the growth of the group.
