Today, on November 25th 2014, Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services
Worldwide and its Greek partner Copelouzos Group have been selected as
"preferred investor" in the bidding process for a 40-year operating
concession of 14 regional airports in Greece. This concession comprises: 
the seven airports of Thessaloniki, Aktio, Chania (Crete), Kavala,
Kefalonia, Kerkyra (Corfu) and Zakynthos in Cluster A; as well as the seven
airports of Rhodes, Kos,Mykonos, Mytilini, Samos, Santorini and Skiathos in
Cluster B. The total purchase price for this concession is 1,234 million
Euros and will be paid by the time of closing, expected in the autumn of
2015. Fraport AG will hold a majority share in the consortium. There will
be no further negotiations regarding the purchase price and contract during
the period to the end of the transaction closing.

Consolidation of the Greek operating company will occur after the
transaction has been completed, probably by the end of 2015. Based on
Fraport's share in the consortium, the operating company will be fully
consolidated.

In 2013, these airports served a total of about 19.1 million passengers.
The operating company is expected to have revenue of more than 180 million
Euros in 2016, with EBITDA exceeding 90 million Euros. Due to interest
charges, depreciation of the purchase payment and effects related to
concession accounting, the annual net result of the consolidated company in
the first three years will be a negative amount of about 100 million Euros
accumulated, which will directly impact the Fraport Group result.
