Hannover (euro adhoc) - Hanover, December 19, 2008 - Delticom AG
(German Securities Code (WKN) 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock market
symbol DEX), Europe's leading online tyre retailer, will be included
in Deutsche Börse AG's SDAX® for the first time as of December 22.
This means that the company has succeeded in moving up into the
small-caps index two years after going public in the Prime Standard.
The SDAX comprises the 50 largest listed companies below the MDAX.

The inclusion in the index acknowledges Delticom´s positive
performance over the last years. Frank Schuhardt, Delticom AG's CFO:
"We are pleased to be included in the SDAX®. This makes Delticom even
more attractive for investors."

So far the winter tyre season has been going well and Delticom is on
track The Managing Board can thus expressly confirm the guidance for
2008 made at the beginning of the year, with revenues totaling EUR
240 - 260 million and with an EBIT margin of 5 - 6%. "We would have
reached the lower end of the guided revenues even if the weather had
been milder," commented Mr. Schuhardt. "However, the heavy snowfalls
in many countries boosted our revenues a bit." The rapid,
pan-European economic downturn has not yet had any notable impact on
Delticom's business. Frank Schuhardt: "How severe the recession in
2009 will be is still unclear. But we are well prepared to face the
challenges ahead. Consumers are increasingly using the Internet, and
especially in difficult times they look for lower-priced
alternatives. We therefore expect many new and repeat customers to
visit our online shops like www.reifendirekt.de or www.mytyres.co.uk
in the upcoming months."
