Deutsche Börse AG: Preliminary acceptance rate of the exchange offer of Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V. to the shareholders of Deutsche Börse AG increases to over 95%

Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG

Frankfurt Main, August 3, 2011. On the basis of declarations of acceptance booked and/or submitted so far by custodian banks regarding the exchange offer of Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V. to the shareholders of Deutsche Börse AG, which relates to the planned combination of Deutsche Börse AG and NYSE Euronext, the preliminary acceptance rate increased to over 95% within the additional offer acceptance period. The preliminary acceptance rate can rise depending on instructions that were submitted on time but have not yet been recorded or decline due to the cancelation of false entries (reversal).

An equity participation in the amount of over 95% enables a shareholder of a stock corporation to conduct a mandatory buy-out of the minority shareholders pursuant to the provisions of the German Stock Exchange Act (Aktiengesetz) or the German Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz) (so called squeeze-out). The initiation of a mandatory buy-out procedure is subject to the decision by Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V. Presently, no decision has been taken as to whether and when, if at all, Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V. will make use of its legal authority to conduct such a mandatory buy-out.

If also the final acceptance rate exceeds 95%, shareholders of Deutsche Börse AG, who have not yet accepted the exchange offer made by Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V., still may elect to do so at unchanged conditions and exchange their shares for shares in Alpha Beta Netherlands Holding N.V. even after expiry of the additional offer acceptance period on 1 August 2011. Pursuant to Section 39c German Takeover Act such election has to be made within a period of three months after the expiry of the additional offer acceptance period of the exchange offer and the compliance with the disclosure requirements pursuant to Section 23 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 4 and sentence 2 German Takeover Act, i.e. until November 4, 2011 (midnight, Central European Time).

The disclosure pursuant to Section 23 para. 1, sentence 1 no. 3 German Takeover Act with respect to the final number of Deutsche Börse shares, for which the exchange offer has been accepted within the offer acceptance period and the additional offer acceptance period, as well as pursuant to Section 23 para. 1, sentence 1 no. 4 German Takeover Act with respect to the reaching of the necessary participation to effect a squeeze out pursuant to Section 39a para. 1 and para. 2 German Takeover Act will be made as soon as the confirmed final results of the exchange offer are available.
