Warsaw, 29th April 2015 

UNIWHEELS AG has approved the allotment of 4,800,000 shares in the
Offering, including 2,400,000 new shares from a share capital increase (the
"New Shares") and 2,400,000 existing shares from the holding of the Selling
Shareholder (the "Sale Shares").

240,000 (5%) of the Offer Shares have been allocated to Retail Investors
and 4,560,000 (95%) of the Offer Shares have been allocated to
Institutional Investors.

The Offer Price (the same for the New Shares and the Sale Shares) was PLN
105, and the total proceeds from the Offering (the New Shares and the Sale
Shares) amounted to PLN 504.0 mln gross (EUR 125.4 mln 1). From the issue
of the New Shares, the Company will receive the amount of PLN 252.0 mln
(EUR 62.7 mln ) gross.

Expected debut date on WSE is May 8th, 2015.

- We would like to thank all investors, both institutional and individual
ones, who took the time to attend the meeting, analyze our company and
finally decided to invest in UNIWHEELS AG shares. During roadshows we had
met approx. 70 institutions, and almost all of them took part in the book
building. What is also worth adding - foreign institutional investors from
8 countries decided to take part in the offering. It is a great success and
a proof that our company, the business model and long term prospects are
very attractive from the European markets perspective. Finally the demand
from institutions was so high that we had to allocate to them much more
shares than initially expected. At the price of PLN 105 per share, demand
substantially exceeded the number of offered shares. We are also very
pleased with the significant interest in our shares shown by the Polish
retail investors - says Ralf Schmid, UNIWHEELS AG CEO.

We are very satisfied with the achieved price level of PLN 105 per share
which is fully in line with our internal pricing goal. As a result of this
success, we have collected gross proceeds amounting to approx. EUR 62.7 mln
which will be invested into financing of our third plant in Stalowa Wola.
The facility will start its operations by mid of 2016 as scheduled. In the
final stage, this additional capacity of approx. 1.9 mln wheels will lead
to a group capacity of nearly 10 mln wheels in the next years. - says Dr.
Karsten Obenaus, UNIWHEELS AG CFO.

UNIWHEELS AG is the 3rd largest wheel producer in Europe in terms of
turnover. It is therefore also one of Europe's largest OEM wheel suppliers
to the automotive industry and the leading manufacturer of alloy wheels in
the European aftermarket sector. The Company's market capitalization after
the issue of the new shares will amount to approx. PLN1.3 bln (approx. EUR
324 mln). New investors will have a stake of approx. 38.7% in the share
capital, while approx. 61.3% will remain at UNIWHEELS Holding (Malta) Ltd,
owned by Ralf and Michael Schmid.
