TOMORROW FOCUS AG acquires remaining minority shares in HolidayCheck AG

Munich, Germany, 28 June 2013 - TOMORROW FOCUS AG has acquired a further 6
percent of the shares in HolidayCheck AG, which is based in the Swiss town
of Bottighofen and operates a number of hotel reviews and holiday booking
portals under the same name. As a result, TOMORROW FOCUS AG has increased
its total stake from 94 to 100 percent. The price agreed for the shares is
in the region of EUR 15 million and will be settled in cash.

Following the takeover of the remaining shares, the yearly dividend
previously paid to the minority shareholders of HolidayCheck AG will cease.
This will ease the pressure on the TOMORROW FOCUS Group's financial result
from 2014 onwards. In the first quarter of 2013, the dividend paid to the
former minority shareholders in respect of HolidayCheck AG's financial year
2012 was around EUR 0.6 million.

At 24.5 million visits per month (according to the German Audit Bureau of
Circulations (IVW) in January 2013), HolidayCheck has the highest reach
figures of any travel and holiday booking and reviews portal on the
German-language Internet. With around 300 employees, in 2012 the company
arranged hotel and package holiday bookings with a gross value of
approximately EUR 600 million.
Over the first five months of the current financial year, HolidayCheck AG
recorded double-digit percentage increases in both year-on-year revenue and
EBITDA.

As well as its subsidiary HolidayCheck AG, TOMORROW FOCUS AG holds majority
stakes in three other hotel reviews and holiday booking platforms in France
and in the Netherlands. Together with HolidayCheck, their aim for the
current financial year is to handle a gross booking volume in the region of
EUR 1 billion.
