The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal Supreme Court grants Westdeutsche Lotterie GmbH & Co. OHG right of appeal Kiel, May 9, 2015 - In response to an appeal by Westdeutsche Lotterie GmbH & Co. OHG, Münster, against the non-admission of an appeal the Cartel Panel of the Federal Supreme Court has granted a right of appeal against the ruling of the 1st Cartel Panel of the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf. In 2008 SWS Service GmbH (formerly FLUXX GmbH), a subsidiary of mybet Holding SE, had filed for compensation for the illegal boycott of its business by the German Lottery and Pools Organisation, in breach of competition law. In April 2014 the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf had then ordered Westdeutsche Lotterie GmbH & Co. OHG to pay damages of EUR 11.5 million plus interest. The Higher Regional Court did not grant a right of appeal. The appeal subsequently lodged by Westdeutsche Lotterie GmbH & Co. OHG against the non-admission of an appeal has now been upheld by the Federal Supreme Court by order of March 3, 2015. The company received notice to this effect yesterday, on Sunday. The ruling of the Federal Supreme Court on the granting of a right of appeal does not give any reasons. Under legislative rules the right of appeal is granted if the legal matter is significant or if the further development of the law or the assuring of a uniform body of case law necessitates a decision by the appellate court. The granting of the appeal is in itself no indication of the prospects of the appeal succeeding. After notification of the ruling on the admission of an appeal by the Federal Supreme Court, Westdeutsche Lotterie GmbH & Co. OHG must make its case for the appeal within two months.
