Celesio AG / Key word(s): Delisting 11.03.2015 17:47 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuttgart, 11 March 2015. Today, the Management Board of Celesio AG (Company) with registered office in Stuttgart, ISIN DE000CLS 1001, has resolved, with the approval of the supervisory board, to file an application with the stock exchanges where the Company's shares are listed in the regulated market, for revocation of admission to the regulated market (so-called delisting). The shares of Celesio AG are currently admitted to trading on the segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) as well as to trading on the regulated market at the stock exchanges Berlin, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Munich. In addition, the management board resolved, in the context of the application for revocation of the admission to trading on the regulated market, at the stock exchanges in Düsseldorf and Munich to apply for the shares to be included in trading on the regulated unofficial markets (Freiverkehr) in the segment primary market (Primärmarkt) (Düsseldorf) and in the segment m:access (Munich), respectively. The existing inclusion of the Company's shares in the regulated unofficial markets of the stock exchanges in Hamburg and Hanover would not be affected by the applications filed with the stock exchanges in Frankfurt, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Munich. After approval of the application for revocation of the admission by the relevant stock exchanges the Company's shares would then no longer be traded on any regulated market of any stock exchange. Currently the management board of the Company is expecting the shares not to be traded any more on any regulated market six months after the revocation decision of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange has been published.
