DEAG Deutsche Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft anticipates an EBIT of at least EUR 3 to 5 million in 2016 - Seite 2

these circumstances DEAG has decided to stage the festival in North-Rhine
Westphalia in 2016 not in Gelsenkirchen, but in the Dortmund Westfalenhalle
arena. Visibility concerning costs and results for the festivals has
significantly increased during the second year of organization.
Consequently, DEAG expects for the current year an almost balanced
contribution to earnings from the Festival business unit. In 2015 a
double-digit million Euro deficit had accrued for the festivals, amongst
others due to the necessary start-up expenditure and one-off effects which
were fully posted during the first three quarters of the past year.

The forecast does not take into account a positive impact on the income of
the Group which might result from possible inflows of funds from legal
proceedings and compositions for DEAG during the current fiscal year. In
connection with the planned rock festival at the Nürburgring in 2015 DEAG
asserts claims of altogether more than EUR 10 million. Incoming payments
would in that case be almost fully recognized in the income statement since
the associated expenses have likewise already been recorded during the
first three-quarters of 2015.

Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:

The four big rock festivals of DEAG will be staged at the end of
May/beginning of June 2016: the 'Sonisphere Festival - Allmend rocks' in
Luzern, 'Rock in Vienna' in Vienna, 'Rockavaria' in Munich and 'Rock im
Revier' in North-Rhine Westphalia. Top acts will be, amongst others, Iron
Maiden, Rammstein, Slayer, Nightwish, Iggy Pop, In Extremo and Sabaton as
well as many other top-class artists.

For the festivals already more than 100,000 tickets have been sold four
months before their staging. The 'Sonisphere Festival - Allmend rocks' is
almost sold out, the sales numbers for 'Rock in Vienna' are currently with
approximately 60 % above the good prior year value and 'Rockavaria', too,
continues with the good sales numbers of 2015. Concerning the festival in
North-Rhine Westphalia, DEAG has selected a new venue following
co-ordination with the artists and decided in favor of the Dortmund
Westfalenhalle arena, which boasts a successful tradition of large rock/pop
events of many decades. It is intended to continue this established
tradition with 'Rock im Revier'. At the same time the Westfalenhalle
provides DEAG with attractive economic terms and conditions which represent
an excellent mix with a tried and tested good offering for music fans. The
Executive Board of DEAG will analyze the rock festival in North-Rhine
Westphalia in detail in view of sustainable profitability but is optimistic
that it will be able to establish a long-term successful festival in this
region, too.
