Pullach, 6 May 2015 - Sixt SE, the syndicate banks and Sixt Leasing AG
fixed the issue price for the shares of Sixt Leasing AG to be offer via the
IPO (or the "offer") at EUR 20.00 per share. Due to the very strong demand,
the issue price is within the upper half of the price range of EUR 17.90 to
EUR 21.30. A total of 12,366,955 shares of Sixt Leasing AG was placed, of
which 5,586,593 were new shares from a cash capital increase of Sixt
Leasing AG, 5,167,281 shares from the holdings of Sixt SE and 1,613,081
additional shares from the holdings of Sixt SE in connection with an
over-allotment ("Over-Allotment Shares").

The offer was oversubscribed multiple times at the issue price. The major
part of shares from the manufacturer-neutral service provider of fleet
leasing, fleet management and online retail solutions was placed with
institutional investors from Germany and Europe. Of the offered shares 
96.7 percent were allotted to institutional investors and 3.3 percent to
retail investors (Privatanleger). Retail investors (Privatanleger) were
allotted  in accordance with the "Principles for the Allotment of Share
Issues to Private Investors" published by the Commission of Stock Exchange
Experts (Börsensachverständigenkommission) at the Federal Ministry of
Finance.

The total gross volume of the placement (prior to deduction of IPO costs)
amounts to around EUR 215.1 million (resp. around EUR 247.3 million
including the full placement of the Over-Allotment Shares). Sixt Leasing
AG's gross proceeds from the placement of the new shares amount to around
EUR 111.7 million. In combination with the equity injection made by Sixt SE
prior to the IPO in the amount of EUR 30.0 million, the equity of Sixt
Leasing AG is increased by a total of around EUR 141.7 million. Following
the IPO, assuming the greenshoe option in respect of the Over-Allotment
Shares granted to the syndicate banks is not exercised, Sixt SE will hold
approximately 48 % of the share capital of Sixt Leasing AG. Assuming that
the greenshoe option is exercised in full, Sixt SE will hold around 40 %.

The shares of Sixt Leasing AG are expected be traded on the regulated
market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt stock exchange as of 7 May 2015
and will have the ticker symbol LNSX, the German Securities Identification
Number (WKN) A0DPRE and the International Securities Identification Number
(ISIN) DE000A0DPRE6.

Sixt Leasing AG intends to use the proceeds from the IPO to reduce its
current external financial liabilities in order to strengthen its capital
base, creating the financial leeway for ongoing growth and a further
increase in its profitability by reducing its interest payments.

Dr. Rudolf Rizzolli, CEO of Sixt Leasing AG: "The very encouraging demand
from German and foreign investors shows that the capital market has
recognised the excellent growth opportunities that we foresee for our
company in the upcoming years. We are very pleased with the market's
response and take this to be clear proof of trust in our business model."

Berenberg and COMMERZBANK acted as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint
Bookrunners, Baader Bank as further Joint Bookrunner.
