Cloppenburg, 25. August 2011 - The Management Board of Derby Cycle AG
(ISIN DE000A1H6HN1) has today passed a resolution to start its
programme on August 29, 2011 to repurchase up to 70,000 shares. This
share repurchase programme was announced on August 17, 2011 by way of
an ad hoc announcement. The repurchase of the maximum number of
shares required this year for the purposes of employee participation
and Executive Board bonuses is to be concluded by September 29, 2011
through the XETRA trading platform.

The share purchase is to be processed in compliance with Section 14
Paragraph 2 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) in
combination with EC Directive No. 2273/2003 (so-called "Safe
Harbour"). Accordingly, the volume of shares purchased may not exceed
25% of the average daily trading volume on the regulated market on
which the purchase is performed on the 20 stock exchange days
preceding the purchase deadline (including purchases of treasury
shares). The purchase price may not exceed the last independently
realised trade, or (if this is higher) not exceed the currently
highest independent offer on the exchange on which the purchase
occurs. In addition, the purchase price (excluding ancillary purchase
costs) may not diverge by more than 10% from the shares' price in
XETRA trading as calculated by the opening auction on the relevant
trading date. M.M.Warburg & CO Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien was
mandated with the independent processing of the programme. The
transactions that occur as part of the repurchase will be published
daily on Derby Cycle AG's website, and will be announced within the
legal scope as prescribed by the German Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (BaFin).
