(Hamburg, 10 May 2012) The future Lotto24 AG (currently Tipp24 Deutschland
GmbH), which is to be spun off from Tipp24 SE and listed as a separate
company on the stock exchange, is to be headed by Petra von Strombeck and
Magnus von Zitzewitz. The current Chief Marketing Officer of Tipp24 SE,
Petra von Strombeck, and Managing Director of Tipp24 Deutschland GmbH as
well as Director of Corporate&Public Affairs at Tipp24 SE, Magnus von
Zitzewitz, have been appointed as Executive Board members of the future
Lotto24 AG, whereby Ms von Strombeck will be Chief Executive Officer. The
two managers will end their activities at Tipp24 SE on completion of the
planned spin-off of the wholly-owned subsidiary of Tipp24 SE scheduled for
late June 2012. With its decision on the future management team, Tipp24 has
laid an important foundation for the future development of Lotto24.
The Executive Board appointments were adopted by the newly constituted
Supervisory Board of the future Lotto24 AG. Its members are Prof. Willi
Berchtold as Chairman, Tipp24 founder Jens Schumann as Deputy Chairman and
Thorsten Hehl as regular member.
The CEO of Lotto24 AG, Petra von Strombeck, states: 'I am looking forward
to driving the establishment and future development of Lotto24 AG together
with Magnus von Zitzewitz. Against the backdrop of the imminent
liberalisation of the German market and the resulting opportunities,
Lotto24 AG aims to resume the many years of success enjoyed by Tipp24 in
the online brokerage of Germany's state-run lottery.'

SE since 1 July 2011 with responsibility for Sales, Marketing and Brand
Management. From April 2009 to July 2011, she worked as a consultant in the
field of lotteries and gaming. Ms von Strombeck already served on the
Executive Board of Tipp24 SE from March 2008 to March 2009, after taking
over as Marketing Director in November 2007. Prior to this, she held
various positions within the Tchibo Group, as well as at the current Sky
Deutschland AG and Danone. She has almost 20 years of expertise in
marketing and e-commerce.
Magnus von Zitzewitz (44) has been the sole Managing Director of Tipp24
Deutschland GmbH and simultaneously Director of Corporate&Public Affairs
at Tipp24 SE since 1 October 2010. In this position, Mr von Zitzewitz was
responsible for the legal, political and regulatory affairs of Tipp24 SE.
