- Shareholders discharged members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board

Berlin, May 15, 2020 - Rocket Internet SE ("Rocket Internet") (ISIN DE000A12UKK6) today virtually held its Annual General Meeting in Berlin. All agenda items proposed by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting were passed.

The shareholders discharged the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board for the financial year 2019.

"2019 has been a successful year for Rocket Internet and many of its companies", said Oliver Samwer, CEO of Rocket Internet. "Rocket Internet recorded a gain of EUR 280.3 million in 2019, which translates into EUR 1.90 earnings per share. However, the preliminary result for the first quarter 2020, an expected loss of -162 million Euro, is significantly impacted by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which also going forward is providing for a high degree of uncertainty."
