STB Fashion Holding GmbH

Bergkamen, 12 May 2016 - Having regard to the issued 2012-2017 6.75 % bond (ISIN DE000A1PGWZ2) and having regard to any joint reorganisation law liability with respect to this on the part of STB Fashion Holding GmbH (Local Court of Bochum, HRB 15112) the management board of Steilmann SE (ISIN DE000A14KR50) hereby provides notice of the following:

The management of STB Fashion Holding GmbH has just determined that STB Fashion Holding GmbH is illiquid. In light of this, the management of STB Fashion Holding GmbH will immediately file a corresponding application for the commencement of insolvency proceed-ings.

By way of explanation, the management board of Steilmann SE provides notice of the follow-ing:

The 2012-2017 6.75 % bond was originally issued by Steilmann-Boecker Fashion Point GmbH & Co. KG (Local Court of Bochum, HRA 5691).

In September 2014, Steilmann-Boecker Fashion Point GmbH & Co. KG transferred portions of its assets by way of a reorganisation through a spin-off of assets to a legal entity that has been newly-formed (§ 123 para. 3 no. 2 of the German Transformation Act - UmwG) to STB Fashion Holding GmbH (which was newly-formed as a result).

In August 2015, Steilmann SE became the legal successor of Steilmann-Boecker Fashion Point GmbH & Co. KG (by way of accretion). In the course of this, Steilmann-Boecker Fash-ion Point GmbH & Co. KG was extinguished and Steilmann SE assumed all of the rights and duties in connection with the bonds issued by Steilmann-Boecker Fashion Point GmbH & Co. KG.
