Deutsche Beteiligungs AG: Information about the annual general meeting

Clearstream Banking¹ informs customers that the annual general meeting of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (ISIN DE000A1TNUT7) will take place on

25 February 2016.

In the interests of the shareholders of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, Clearstream Banking would like to remind all customers of the statutory obligation of banks to re-register/register the positions in the name of the shareholders.

In order to avoid discrepancies in the share register resulting from the large number of unregistered positions, re-registrations in the names of the new shareholders must be carried out as soon as possible after the respective purchase transaction. In addition to registrations in the names of shareholders, it is also possible to register shares in the name of a depository bank acting as nominee.

Information on instructions in CASCADE-RS

Owing to the annual general meeting of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, the transmission of re-registration and registration instructions from CASCADE-RS to the share register will be suspended as follows. Automatic re-registration to the nominee in accordance with § 67, 4 AktG (ALU) will also be interrupted in accordance with the information below.

Delivery remains unaffected

Clearstream Banking will not block holdings at any time.
