Publication of a notification pursuant to §§ 26 para. 1 sent. 1, 27a para.
2 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) with the objective of Europe-
wide distribution
BlackRock, Inc., Wilmington, DE, U.S.A. and its subsidiaries have notified
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, Medienallee 7, 85774 Unterföhring, Germany, on 18
July 2016 by notification pursuant to § 27a para. 1 of the German
Securities Trading Act (WpHG) as set out below:
'In respect to Section 27a of the Securities Trading Act (WpHG) regarding
notification requirements applicable to BlackRock's holding in
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, please find below the response from us, BlackRock,
Inc., and our subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Notifying
Parties'):
BlackRock, Inc.
The crossing of the thresholds do not result from acquisitions by the
Notifying Parties but from attributions from investment managers and
advisors which qualify as subsidiaries of at least one of the Notifying
Parties and to which the voting rights are attributed.
In respect of the aims underlying the purchase of the voting rights, we,
the Notifying Parties, notify that:
1. The investments are aimed at both implementing strategic objectives and
at generating a trading profit. This results from Notifying Parties'
overall intention to gain maximum returns for BlackRock's clients on
both a short and a long term basis.
2. We plan to acquire further voting rights within the next twelve months
by means of a purchase or by any other means. Because our intention is
to gain maximum returns for BlackRock's clients and therefore we may
also sell shares.
3. We intend to exert an influence on the appointment or removal of
members of the issuer's administrative, managing and supervisory
bodies. We will continue to exercise our right to vote at the company's
annual general meeting, and any special general meetings should they be
called in the best interest of our clients.
4. We do not intend to achieve a material change in the company's capital
structure, in particular as regards the ratio between own funds and
external funds and the dividend policy. However, we might vote on such
topics in the same way we set out in no. 3.
In respect of the origin of the funds used, we, the Notifying Parties,
notify that:
Client funds were used in order to finance the purchase of the voting
rights.'
