The acceptance period for the Buyback Offer begins on February 9, 2022, 0:00 hours (CET) and ends, subject to extension, on March 10, 2022 at 24:00 hours (CET).

Shareholders of the Company ("Rocket Internet Shareholders") are entitled to tender rights, with one Rocket Internet Share conveying one tender right. The tender ratio is 4:1, so that four tender rights are required to accept the Buyback Offer for one Rocket Internet Share.

Rocket Internet Shareholders have the option to sell their tender rights if they do not wish to participate in the Buyback Offer or wish to participate in the Buyback Offer only partially. They also have the option to acquire additional tender rights if they wish to tender more Rocket Internet Shares than they are able to do on the basis of the tender rights booked to their securities accounts. The tender rights will be admitted to trading on the open market (Freiverkehr) of the Hamburg Stock Exchange and will be tradable there until two banking days before the end of the acceptance period. Off-exchange transfer of the tender rights is also permissible and possible.

The Company intends to cancel the Rocket Internet Shares acquired by the Company on the basis of this Buyback Offer for the purpose of a capital reduction immediately after acquisition and fulfillment of all relevant requirements in this respect.

Further details of the Buyback Offer can be found in the offer letter of the Company. The Offer Letter will be published on Rocket Internet's website (https://www.rocket-internet.com) under the heading "Investors - Share - Share Purchase 2022" and in the German Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) at https://www.bundesanzeiger.de prior to the commencement of the acceptance Period.
