Ad hoc press release

Goldbach Group to sell web TV platform Wilmaa to its founder Thomas
Gabathuler

Küsnacht-Zürich, December 22nd, 2014. Goldbach Group AG, leading
communications expert for online marketing and the marketing of private
electronic, mobile and interactive media in German-speaking Europe, Poland
and the Adriatic region, is selling its 67% stake in Wilmaa GmbH to Thomas
Gabathuler. This will enable Goldbach to focus fully on its core business
as a neutral advertising aggregator.

As part of its strategy planning, Goldbach has decided to focus its efforts
on its core services as a digital sales house and agency business. This
enables Goldbach to operate in the market as a neutral advertising
aggregator.

As founder, CEO and minority shareholder, Thomas Gabathuler today plays a
key role in the ongoing development and operation of the Wilmaa GmbH web TV
platform. Mr Gabathuler has a 33% stake in Wilmaa GmbH, and will acquire
the remaining 67% of shares currently owned by the Goldbach Group as of 22
December 2014. He also holds a strategic interest in Wilmaa Digital World
AG, the operator of the Wilmaa TV Box. This move means that Wilmaa will
once again be fully owned by the "Father of Wilmaa", thereby ensuring that
the web TV platform and its services will continue to be developed and
promoted in the market. As a countermove to this, Goldbach is withdrawing
from the web TV platform business and will instead concentrate on
advertising the platform in relevant markets as part of a long-term
cooperation agreement.

Goldbach and Thomas Gabathuler are convinced that this step is critical for
the ongoing development of Wilmaa. Roland Wittmann, Chief Strategy Officer
of Goldbach Group, responsible for M&A: "Wilmaa and Goldbach will be
working together in a strategic partnership, each partner focused on its
core competence".

The price is subject to a confidentiality agreement.
