bmp Holding AG raises its stake in sleepz GmbH

bmp Holding AG (ISIN DE0003304200) has reported that it has acquired an
additional stake of 7.35% in sleepz GmbH. Once the purchase agreement has
been reached, bmp will hold 60.08% of shares in sleepz. The parties have
agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

Oliver Borrmann, member of the Executive Board of bmp Holding AG, said,
"Since we acquired a majority stake in sleepz, it has continued to develop
successfully although growth has been falling short of our expectations due
to the focus on higher margin products since September. From a current
perspective, we assume that sleepz will add pro rata revenue of at least
EUR 4 million to group revenue for 2015 after consolidation on 1 May 2015.

In April this year, bmp acquired the majority of sleepz GmbH. The company
operates a number of online shops at www.perfekt-schlafen.de and
www.matratzendiscount.de and has acquired a strong market position as an
online merchant in the sleep products segment in Germany within a short
period of time.

Increasing the stake, which has now been completed, is another step towards
establishing bmp Holding AG as one of the leading e-commerce groups in the
segment of living/sleep products. In the process, bmp is utilising a buy
and build strategy which entails plans to make further acquisitions and
establish subsidiaries. Meanwhile, bmp has founded a wholly owned
subsidiary (Grafenfels Manufaktur GmbH) to develop its own mattress brand.

Oliver Borrmann further explained, "With the increase in health awareness,
good sleep has become a key issue and the demand for top-quality mattresses
has increased. We have therefore developed a premium product portfolio of
top-quality mattresses which is expected to be distributed under the
company's own brand name, i.e."Grafenfels"."

As a result of sleepz' weaker growth and Grafenfels' delayed market launch,
which was put back by approximately two months, we now anticipate
whole-year revenue in the EUR 4-4.5 million range. A potential further
acquisition in 2015 could result to correcting this estimate upwards.
