PRESS RELEASE



Hornbach Familien-Treuhandgesellschaft mbH successfully completes private
Placement


Annweiler am Trifels, October 23, 2015.

Hornbach Familien-Treuhandgesellschaft mbH has successfully completed the
private placement of 1,000,000 non-par ordinary bearer shares in Hornbach
Holding AG & Co. KGaA by way of an accelerated book building process. The
transaction was announced yesterday, October 22, 2015. The secondary
placement met with very great interest on the capital market.

"We assess the result of this transaction as a great success, one that also
reflects investors' confidence in the Hornbach Group's sustainable growth
strategy. We saw great demand in particular from value-driven institutional
investors, who will now significantly broaden the KGaA's shareholder base.
This can also be expected to impact positively on stock market trading
volumes with the Holding shares", commented Albrecht Hornbach, Managing
Director of Hornbach Familien-Treuhandgesellschaft mbH. Via the family
trust company, the founding family now directly and indirectly holds a
43.75% stake in the share capital (previously: 50%). The private placement
by way of an accelerated book building process was managed by Joh.
Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, and Commerzbank AG.
