Grasbrunn near Munich, September 9, 2008; a resolution was adopted at the
Annual General Meeting of Wirecard AG on June 24, 2008 to convert
approximately EUR 20 million of the companys capital reserves into common
stock. The amendment to the articles of incorporation occasioned by the
capital increase was recently entered in the Commercial Register. The new
shares will be registered for a listing on September 10, 2008. Accordingly,
the new shares will be credited to the securities accounts of Wirecard
stockholders from September 10.

The 20,357,967 new no-par-value common shares will be allocated according
to a pre-defined scheme. The basis for this is the number of shares in the
stockholders portfolio: one no-par-value share arising from the capital
increase will be credited for every four no-par-value shares per securities
account (status as at September 9, 2008 after the close of trading). The
new no-par-value shares will be entitled for a dividend as of January 1,
2008.
