DEAG extends Executive Board

- Optimum positioning for the further implementation of the growth
strategy

- Ralph Quellmalz appointed as member of the Executive Board (CFO)
effective April 1

CDO

Berlin, March 9, 2016 - The Supervisory Board of DEAG Deutsche
Entertainment Aktiengesellschaft (DEAG), Berlin, (ISIN: DE000A0Z23G6 |
symbol: ERMK) has extended the Executive Board of DEAG and created an
optimum positioning for the further implementation of the adopted growth
strategy. The new member of the Executive Board (CFO) will be Ralph
Quellmalz (46) from April 1, 2016 onwards.

The holder of an MBA from the University of Cologne started his
professional career with one of the four large audit firms and gained
significant experience at the auditing of the financial statements and
consolidated financial statements of large international companies. Since
2006 Ralph Quellmalz has worked for the listed KHD Humboldt Wedag
International AG. In 2013 the financial expert was promoted to Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) and member of the Executive Board. Prior to his
appointment as CFO of KHD, Ralph Quellmalz had been Global Head of Finance
at KHD for several years. Ralph Quellmalz has corresponding knowledge in
the project business and is familiar with all aspects of corporate
governance, compliance as well as operational interests of listed
companies. In addition, Ralph Quellmalz can rely on experience in the
fields of investor relations and acquisition and sale of companies and
parts of companies. Apart from his other responsibilities, Ralph Quellmalz
will take the lead for the measures of the company in the field of investor
relations.

Following the appointment of Ralph Quellmalz, Christian Diekmann will again
be fully available on the Executive Board of DEAG for the operating
business of the company from April 1, 2016 onwards. Christian Diekmann had
so far been responsible on the Executive Board for finance and for the
operating business as CFO/COO. DEAG has already been on a clear growth
course for several years, so that the appointment of a new member of the
Executive Board (CFO) is now the logical consequence of the extended
business base. Apart from his activity as COO, Christian Diekmann will
focus as CDO (Chief Digital Officer) mainly on the further development of
the digital value added, which will visibly gain in importance through the
ticket platform myticket, amongst other things. Furthermore, Christian
Diekmann will increasingly address the new business.

Christian Diekmann has been a member of the Executive Board of DEAG since
2006 and has been one of the drivers of the growth course of the company.
In 2009 Diekmann took over the finance department as CFO in addition to his
assignment as COO.

Detlef Kornett, who has been in charge of the entire marketing activities
of the company on the Executive Board of DEAG as CMO (Chief Marketing
Officer) since 2014, will continue to be responsible for the high-growth
business in Switzerland, Austria and the United Kingdom. The Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), Professor Peter Schwenkow, who recently extended
his contract until the end of 2018, will continue to develop DEAG
dynamically during the years to come. With Ralph Quellmalz, the Executive
Board of DEAG will in future be composed of four members.
