Ad-hoc: Price range set for HelloFresh IPO

- Price range set for initial public offering of HelloFresh at EUR 9.00 to 11.50 per HelloFresh share

- The IPO will consist of 27.00 million newly issued shares in HelloFresh. An additional up to 4.05 million shares may be placed in connection with a potential over-allotment

- Placement volume is expected to range from EUR 279 to 357 million, assuming the over-allotment is fully exercised

Berlin, October 22, 2017 - HelloFresh SE ("HelloFresh"), in which Rocket Internet SE ("Rocket Internet") holds approx. 52.8% of the share capital, has set the price range for its planned initial public offering (the "Offering") at EUR 9.00 to 11.50 per offered share. The Offering is subject to approval of the prospectus by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) and its publication. In the Offering, 27.00 million newly issued shares from a capital increase will be offered. An additional up to 4.05 million shares (comprising c. 15% of the offered shares) may be placed in connection with a potential over-allotment. The placement volume will range from EUR 279 to 357 million, assuming the over-allotment of up to 4.05 million shares is fully exercised.

In case no stabilization measures are undertaken, and the banks therefore exercise the option granted to them to acquire a number of shares corresponding to the over-allotment (so-called greenshoe option), HelloFresh will issue additional new shares and receive the proceeds from the over-allotment (so-called primary greenshoe). Rocket Internet will support the over-allotment by a securities loan from its holdings of up to 4.05 million shares that will be returned to Rocket Internet in any event.
