(Hamburg, 21 October 2014) Lotto24 AG has increased its share capital by EUR 1,996,271 from EUR 19,962,720 to EUR 21,958,991 against cash contributions through the partial exercise of the company's Authorised Capital as adopted by the Annual General Meeting of 21 May 2014 and under the exclusion of shareholder subscription rights. The 1,996,271 new, registered, no-par value shares were placed entirely with two significant investors of Lotto24 AG, Othello Vier Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG, a company of the Günther Group, as well as Jens Schumann, at a price of EUR 3.00 per new share.
