Luebeck, May 8, 2014 - The issue price for the shares offered in the IPO of
SLM Solutions Group AG (ISIN: DE000A111338, WKN: A11133) has been set at
EUR 18 per share. This price was fixed today by the company and the selling
shareholders together with Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners,
Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited and Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft.

The total placement volume amounts to EUR 180.0 million. It comprises
10,000,000 of the 11,248,282 offered ordinary bearer shares with no-par
value, including 4,166,667 newly issued shares from a capital increase
against cash contributions, 4,647,132 of the 5,732,596 offered shares from
the holdings of the selling shareholders and 1,186,201 of the 1,349,019
offered shares from the holdings of the selling shareholders which were
used for an over-allotment ("Greenshoe"). The company's share capital will
increase by EUR 4,166,667.00 to EUR 17,980,867.00, leading to gross
proceeds in the amount of EUR 75 million that accrue directly to SLM
Solutions Group AG to finance the company's further growth. Upon completion
of the offer and assuming the complete exercise of the Greenshoe option
with regard to the shares over-allotted, the free float will amount to 55.6
%. The initial listing of SLM Solutions Group AG's shares on the Prime
Standard segment of the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is
intended to take place on May 9, 2014. The shares will presumably be
delivered to investors against payment on May 13, 2014.
