31 October 2013

SURTECO SE: pre-placement of the new SURTECO shares has been successfully
completed, the offer and subscription price are EUR 18.00

Buttenwiesen-Pfaffenhofen, 31 October 2013 - SURTECO SE has successfully
completed the pre-placement of 2,801,730 new no-par value bearer shares
without nominal value, each share representing a proportionate amount of
the capital stock of SURTECO SE of EUR 1.00 and with full participation in
profits from 1 January 2013 ('New Shares'), carried out yesterday and today
with qualified investors in the course of the announced capital increase
for cash. The offer was oversubscribed several times. An offer price of EUR
18.00 for each New Share was set in the course of a book-building
procedure. This is also the subscription price for the capital increase for
cash. The New Shares placed during the course of the pre-placement are due
to be delivered to investors on 5 November 2013.

The Company is planning to use the proceeds arising from the capital
increase to finance the takeover of all shares in the companies of the
Süddekor Group.

On the basis of the successful pre-placement, the Board of Management and
the Supervisory Board of SURTECO SE today passed a resolution defining the
conditions for the announced capital increase against cash contribution.
The subscription price for the subscription offer will be the same as the
offer price of EUR 18.00 for each New Share. On this basis, SURTECO SE
expects to receive gross issue proceeds of around EUR 80 million. The
subscription period begins on 1 November 2013 and is scheduled to end on 14
November 2013. 1,628,479 New Shares can still be acquired through the
subscription offer.

The complete subscription offer is expected to be published today, 31
October 2013, in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and on the website of
the company (www.surteco.com). Publication is also expected in the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on 1 November 2013.
