Aschheim, 08 March 2012. The executive board of Wirecard AG (ISIN
DE0007472060, WKN code 747206) determined the issue price for the
accelerated bookbuilt offering from the capital increase resolved yesterday
at Euro 13.70. 10,180,313 new shares from the capital increase were
successfully placed with institutional investors. The capital increase has
generated gross proceeds of approx. Euro 139,470,288 for the company.

In connection with the two acquisitions in Singapore and Newcastle, United
Kingdom (total purchase price of up to Euro 70 million) which have been
undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2011, the capital increase serves to
continue the already communicated acquisition strategy through active
participation in the consolidation process of the payment processing market
in Europe and Asia.

The new shares are expected to be included in the existing quotation at the
regulated market (regulierter Markt) and the sub-segment of the regulated
market with further post-admission obligations of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange (Prime Standard) on 12 March 2012.
