Tipp24 AG / Profit Warning 24.09.2009 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MyLotto24 Ltd, a fully consolidated minority holding of Tipp24 AG, has declared that a player won the jackpot prize of EUR 31.7 million on 23 September 2009 by taking part in MyLotto24's offering to place bets on the outcome of the German Lotto. Due to MyLotto24's risk hedging, this significant prize payout will only partly impact on the consolidated profits of Tipp24. As a consequence, Tipp24 AG adjusts its EBIT (operating profit before interest and tax) estimate for the current year 2009 by EUR 10 million to at least EUR 30 million. The consolidated revenues estimate of at least EUR 85 million remains unchanged. 24.09.2009 Financial News transmitted by DGAP --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language: English Company: Tipp24 AG Straßenbahnring 13 20251 Hamburg Deutschland Phone: +49 (0)40 325533-0 Fax: +49 (0)40 325533-77 E-mail: office@tipp24.de Internet: www.tipp24-ag.de ISIN: DE0007847147 WKN: 784714 Indices: SDAX Listed: Regulierter Markt in Frankfurt (Prime Standard); Freiverkehr in Berlin, Düsseldorf, München, Hamburg, Stuttgart End of News DGAP News-Service ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
