SANDPIPER Digital Payments AG: Invitation to the annual general meeting and
change in the Board of Directors

St. Gallen, June 7th, 2017 - SANDPIPER Digital Payments AG (BX Berne eXchange,
Ticker: SDP,www.sandpiper.ch, Open Market, Frankfurt, ISIN: CH0033050961), will
hold its annual general meeting in St. Gallen on June 29th, 2018. The focus of
the event will be the election of a new Board of Directors, with three new board
members up for election.

After the successful implementation of the carve-out and the resulting changes
in the shareholder structure of SANDPIPER, a modification of the Board of
Directors will be the next step of the transformation process. The stake of the
previous main shareholder Mountain Partners AG has already been reduced to 17.8%
during this process and is currently held by the intermediate company BH Capital
Management AG. SANDPIPER was able to win Franz Herrlein, Steffen Seeger und
Dieter Froehlich as new members of the board, who will join the corporate body
together with current members Dr. Cornelius Boersch and Dr. Patrick Stach.

Franz Herrlein has over 25 years of international experience at management
consulting firms and in executive board positions for major international banks.
He was an Associate Partner at The Boston Consulting Group in Munich and Milan
and a Partner at Bain & Company in Munich. Additionally, he served on the
executive board of Dresdner Bank, as group board member of Unicredit in Milan,
as CFO Infrastructure of Deutsche Bank AG in Frankfurt and London and as
executive board member of BHF-Bank AG in Frankfurt.

Steffen Seeger started his career with KPMG and BearingPoint, where he served in
numerous senior executive positions for over 20 years, with his last role being
CEO of BearingPoint EMEA from 2003 to 2006. He left BearingPoint in 2006 to
co-found Europe's first digital Bank, FIDOR Bank AG. As CFO he shaped the
dynamic development of the bank over the following 10 years and was part of the
successful sale of FIDOR Bank to BPCE in 2016. Since 2017, Steffen Seeger is an
active investor in technology companies and supports the tech fund Digital+
Partners as an Advisory Partner.

Dieter Froehlich began his career at SAP and was a key contributor to SAP's
expansion to the United States and the Middle East. Since 1996 the software
expert is also a successful entrepreneur. As the founder of MultiVision and
VisionOne he built one of the world's leading consulting firms for SAP systems
in the United States, Central Europe as well as North- and South America. In
addition, he held several positions at the football club FC St. Gallen. In his
first years Mr. Froehlich was part of the management of the club, before
representing the club as its President from 2004 to 2008.

"I am really looking forward to working with my new colleagues ", says Dr.
Cornelius Boersch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SANDPIPER. "We were
able to attract three renowned experts from the fields of finance, digital banks
and software technology, who will support the continuing positive development of
the company".

SANDPIPER also wants to thank the resigning Board of Directors members Manfred
Rietzler and Hajo Riesenbeck for their efforts and dedication during the
implementation of the current refocusing strategy of the company.
