Tognum AG has been informed by the private equity group EQT that it has

through the company Seeker Rekees S.à r.l. – to Daimler AG. Daimler’s
Supervisory Board today approved the acquisition of this shareholding.
Furthermore, Daimler AG has informed us that it intends to acquire a
blocking minority (25% plus one share) in Tognum AG. The entire transaction
is subject to the approval of antitrust and other authorities.

Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:

Tognum’s Board of Management welcomes this decision of Daimler and EQT. CEO
Volker Heuer stated: 'We are delighted that Daimler AG fully supports
Tognum’s growth strategy – as a reliable business associate and now also as
a strategic investor. EQT was the optimal partner for the implementation of
our corporate strategy focused on profitable growth and today’s
independence. Less than one year after the initial public offering, the
previously open question of what would happen to EQT’s remaining stake has
been successfully resolved. With Daimler as a strategic anchor investor,
the independence of the company that was achieved through the IPO has now
been secured long term in the interests of our customers and shareholders.'Disclaimer regarding forward-looking statements et al.:
