DAB Bank's key operational indicators reach new record levels in Q1/2015 - Seite 2

previous majority shareholder UniCredit Bank AG in connection with the
acquisition of a majority interest by BNP Beteiligungsholding AG. Also due
to the generally lower level of interest rates, first-quarter net interest
income came to only EUR8.04 million, representing a 35% decrease from the
corresponding year-ago figure. The trading profit and profit from
investments rose from EUR0.65 million in Q1 2014 to EUR1.05 million in Q1
2015. The total operating income of EUR37.90 million was 5.9% higher than
the corresponding year-ago figure.

At EUR30.11 million, administrative expenses were 5.7% higher than the
corresponding figure for Q1 2014, particularly as a result of the higher
clearing and settlement expenses incurred in connection with the high
number of trades executed.

On March 27, 2015, the new majority shareholder BNP Paribas
Beteiligungsholding AG announced that the cash compensation to be paid to
the minority shareholders in connection with the squeeze-out resolution to
be adopted at the annual shareholders' meeting planned for May 29, 2015
will be EUR4.78 per share. After the squeeze-out, DAB Bank AG will be
merged into BNP Paribas Beteiligungsholding AG. The corresponding merger
agreement was already signed on April 13 of this year. It is subject to the
condition precedent that the resolution of the annual shareholders' meeting
ordering the transfer of shares held by the remaining minority shareholders
to BNP Paribas Beteiligungsholding AG as the principal shareholder will be
recorded in the Commercial Register of DAB Bank AG.
