Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG concluded amendment agreement to the current
consortium loan agreement at significant improved conditions

Birkenwerder, 7 October 2014. Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG (ISIN
DE000FPH9000), Birkenwerder, has taken advantage of the favourable
financing environment and has today concluded with the existing bank
syndicate led by the two mandated lead arrangers, Deutsche Postbank AG and
Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, an amendment agreement to the current
consortium loan agreement of April 2013. The total volume of the consortium
loan has thus increased by EUR 5 million and now totals EUR 50 million.

In addition, the Management Board secured significant improvements in the
conditions with the new agreement: The term of the loan was extended by
more than a year to October 2019. Furthermore, improvements in the interest
margin and greater leeway with regard to other financial liabilities were
also obtained. Overall, the FP Group has secured a much higher degree of
flexibility that will enable it to respond to operational circumstances. It
also increases its flexibility for investing in future growth. Rental
machines and development projects will be the main focus in 2014.

By concluding this amendment agreement, the banks are acknowledging the
successful implementation of the Group's strategy, the operational progress
the FP Group has demonstrated in the past 18 months, and the further
improvements made in the balance sheet structure. The readiness to grant
these improved conditions transpired irrespective of the reassessment of
the teleporto funds in the current year. As a consequence, the FP Group has
secured roughly EUR 20 million in additional liquid assets. The combination
of this reassessment and the amendment agreement provides the financing of
the FP Group with a very solid foundation in the long term.
