Munich, March 22, 2011 - The Managing and Supervisory Boards of zooplus AG
(German Securities Code (WKN) 511170) ISIN DE0005111702, stock exchange
symbol ZO1) will propose increasing the share capital from company funds to
the General Meeting on May 26, 2011. If the General Meeting approves this
proposal, after the requisite changes to the articles of incorporation and
entry of the share increase in the commercial register, the company's share
capital would increase from around EUR 2.8 mm to around EUR 8.4 mm. The
number of shares would triple as a result, each shareholder would receive
two new issued shares for each existing share after the capital increase
was concluded. This will take place automatically on a date still to be set
after the General Meeting, and without any costs for the shareholders. This
will not result in any changes in the company's proportionate
shareholdings. The share split aims to support liquidity for shares of
zooplus AG and to keep the shares attractive, including for minor
shareholders, after the substantial increases in the share price over the
past approximately two years.
