* 2010 fiscal year: Sales EUR 116.1 million, EBITDA EUR 8.5 million
and EBT EUR 3.3 million * Clear improvement in sales and result
expected in 2011

Cologne, March 1, 2011 - Sedo Holding AG (ISIN DE 000 549015 5) today
announces its provisional group business figures for the 2010 fiscal
year. While the sales trend was largely in line with the company's
expectations, the key financial indicators remained much less
satisfactory.

Group sales of Sedo Holding AG as expected declined from EUR 135.3
million in the previous year to EUR 116.1 million. The main reason
for the decline in turnover is the changed contractual relationship
with one large customer of Affiliate Marketing, which has been
effective since the fourth quarter of 2009. Adjusted to allow for
sales revenues of this important customer (EUR 26.1 million in 2009),
sales revenues increased by EUR 6.9 million (+6.3 %). The result of
ordinary activities before interest, taxes and depreciations (EBITDA)
declined from EUR 11.8 million (comparable previous year's figure,
excluding positive one-off item of EUR 12.7 million) to EUR 8.5
million. The pre-tax result of ordinary activities (EBT) declined
from EUR 6.6 million (comparable previous year's figure excluding
positive one-off item of EUR 12.7 million) to EUR 3.3 million. The
reason for the decline in the ordinary EBT were primarily unscheduled
valuation adjustments to the company's own domain portfolio of EUR
2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Sedo Holding AG plans to use the capital reserve in the 2010 fiscal
year; Sedo will thus completely balance in its Parent Company
financial statements the net loss carried over after having
recognized the 2010 net profit.

On the basis of the current market conditions and the course of
business up to now, the Management Board of Sedo Holding AG expects a
clear improvement in sales and result in 2011. The In concrete terms,
the Management Board expects an increase in sales of approx. 10% and
at least a doubling at the EBT in the 2010 fiscal year.
