DF Deutsche Forfait AG applies for change to General Standard

Cologne, 7 December 2016 - The Board of Management of DF Deutsche Forfait AG (ISIN: DE000A2AA204) has filed an application with the Frankfurt Stock Exchange to change from the Prime Standard to the General Standard of the Regulated Market.

Christoph Charpentier, member of the Board of Management of DF Deutsche Forfait AG: "Having successfully completed our restructuring, we are ready to re-enter the market for foreign trade finance. During the current start- up phase, we will increasingly focus on our operating activities. At the same time, we will continue to meet the high transparency standards of the Regulated Market."

DF Deutsche Forfait AG reserves the right to return to the Prime Standard once it has successfully expanded its operating activities.

The change of the Sub-Segment of the Regulated Market will become effective three months after the decision of the management of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is published on the Internet (www.deutsche-boerse.com). The company expects Deutsche Börse's decision to be published in mid-December 2016, which means that the segment change would become effective around mid-March 2017.
