Preliminary annual figures/dividends/capital measures

Sixt earmarks substantial dividend increase and bonus payment for
2010 - Issue of bonus shares planned

Pullach, 17 March 2011 - In 2010 the Sixt Group exceeded its own
expectations and generated one of the best results in the company's
history. According to preliminary figures the mobility service
provider reports a consolidated profit of EUR 70.7 million compared
to EUR 10.4 million in 2009. Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT)
rose from EUR 15.1 million to EUR 102.3 million. Earnings before net
finance costs and taxes (EBIT) increased from EUR 67.0 million to EUR
156.2 million.

The gratifying earnings performance was based on the measures
initiated at the end of 2008 which were aimed at lowering costs and
increasing efficiency throughout the Group. The demand for mobility
services began to increase during the second half of the year in the
wake of a rebounding economy. Due to significantly increased growth
dynamic, rental revenue (excluding other revenue from rental
business) rose 6.5% from EUR 758.0 million to EUR 807.5 million
during the course of the year. The EBT for the Vehicle Rental
Business Unit increased from last year's total of EUR 3.3 million to
EUR 86.4 million. Recording stable revenues from leasing transactions
(EUR 403.5 million; -0.7%) the Leasing Business Unit generated an EBT
of EUR 19.0 million (2009: EUR 5.7 million). As the best result in
the company's history it benefited from focusing on high-margin full
service contracts. Total consolidated revenue in 2010 came to EUR
1.54 billion and was therefore as previously announced slightly down
on last year's figure of EUR 1.60 billion (-4.0%).

In view of the significant improvement of the earnings situation in
the financial year 2010, the Managing Board will propose to the
Supervisory Board and the Annual General Meeting to increase the
dividend to EUR 1.00 per ordinary share (2009: EUR 0.20) and EUR 1.02
per preference share (2009: EUR 0.22) plus a bonus dividend of EUR
0.40 for each ordinary and preference share. In addition, the
Managing Board is proposing to issue bonus shares at a ratio of 1:1
by converting reserves into share capital. This would see one new
share issued for each ordinary and preference share, and as a
consequence would double the company's share capital and the number
of shares. The bonus shares shall carry dividend rights as of the
financial year 2011.

The Managing Board´s outlook for the financial year 2011 is
optimistic. Despite continuing economic uncertainties the Managing
Board estimates that in the European core countries demand for
vehicle rental and leasing services is going to increase. In view of
this another rise in rental revenues and a stable development of
leasing revenues is anticipated. The Group's EBT is expected to
continue growing. This forecast assumes that no unforeseen negative
events will occur which would have a major impact on the Group.
