(Hamburg, 10 May 2012) The future Lotto24 AG (currently Tipp24 Deutschland GmbH), which is to be spun off from Tipp24 SE and listed as a separate company on the stock exchange, is to be headed by Petra von Strombeck and Magnus von Zitzewitz. The current Chief Marketing Officer of Tipp24 SE, Petra von Strombeck, and Managing Director of Tipp24 Deutschland GmbH as well as Director of Corporate & Public Affairs at Tipp24 SE, Magnus von Zitzewitz, have been appointed as Executive Board members of the future Lotto24 AG, whereby Ms von Strombeck will be Chief Executive Officer. The two managers will end their activities at Tipp24 SE on completion of the planned spin-off of the wholly-owned subsidiary of Tipp24 SE scheduled for late June 2012. With its decision on the future management team, Tipp24 has laid an important foundation for the future development of Lotto24.

The Executive Board appointments were adopted by the newly constituted Supervisory Board of the future Lotto24 AG. Its members are Prof. Willi Berchtold as Chairman, Tipp24 founder Jens Schumann as Deputy Chairman and Thorsten Hehl as regular member.

The CEO of Lotto24 AG, Petra von Strombeck, states: 'I am looking forward to driving the establishment and future development of Lotto24 AG together with Magnus von Zitzewitz. Against the backdrop of the imminent liberalisation of the German market and the resulting opportunities, Lotto24 AG aims to resume the many years of success enjoyed by Tipp24 in the online brokerage of Germany's state-run lottery.'

Petra von Strombeck (42) has been a member of the Executive Board of Tipp24 SE since 1 July 2011 with responsibility for Sales, Marketing and Brand Management. From April 2009 to July 2011, she worked as a consultant in the field of lotteries and gaming.

Prior to this, she held various positions within the Tchibo Group, as well as at the current Sky Deutschland AG and Danone. She has almost 20 years of expertise in marketing and e-commerce.
