22-Jun-2020 / 02:48 CET/CEST Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP – a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
The Management Board of Wirecard assesses on the basis of further examination that there is a prevailing likelihood that the bank trust account balances in the amount of 1.9 billion EUR do not exist. The company previously assumed that these trust accounts have been established for the benefit of the company in connection with the so called Third Party Acquiring business and has reported them as an asset in its financial accounts. The foregoing also causes the company to question the previous assumptions regarding the reliability of the trustee relationships.
The Management Board further assesses that previous descriptions of the so called Third Party Acquiring business by the company are not correct. The Company continues to examine, whether, in which manner and to what extent such business has actually been conducted for the benefit of the company.
Wirecard withdraws the assessment of (i) the preliminary results of the financial year 2019 (revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)) of 14 February 2020 (last confirmed on 18 June 2020), (ii) the preliminary results of the first quarter of 2020 (revenue and EBITDA) of 14 May 2020, (iii) the EBITDA prognosis for the financial year 2020 of 6 November 2019 (last confirmed on 14 May 2020) and (iv) the Vision 2025 prognosis for the financial year 2025 on transaction volume, revenue and EBITDA of 8 October 2019. Potential effects on the annual financial accounts of previous years cannot be excluded.
Wirecard continues to be in constructive discussions with its lending banks with regard to the continuation of credit lines and the further business relationship, including the continuation of the current drawing coming due at the end of June. Together with the renowned and internationally active investment bank Houlihan Lokey, Wirecard is assessing options for a sustainable financing strategy for the company.
In addition, the Company is examining a broad range of possible further measures to ensure continuation of its business operations, including cost reductions as well as restructuring, disposal or termination of business units and products segments.
For the avoidance of misunderstandings, the company wishes to inform that its IT systems continue to work without limitations.

18.06.2020 / 10:43 CET/CEST Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP – a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Date for publication of annual and consolidated financial statements 2019 delayed due to indications of presentation of spurious balance confirmations
Wirecard AG’s auditor Ernst & Young GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, informed Wirecard AG that no sufficient audit evidence could be obtained so far of cash balances on trust accounts to be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements in the amount of EUR 1.9 billion (approximately a quarter of the consolidated balance sheet total).
There are indications that spurious balance confirmations had been provided from the side of the trustee respectively of the trustee’s account holding banks to the auditor in order to deceive the auditor and create a wrong perception of the existence of such cash balances or the holding of the accounts for to the benefit of Wirecard group companies. The Wirecard management board is working intensively together with the auditor towards a clarification of the situation.
In light of the above the audit of the annual and the consolidated financial statements 2019 will not be concluded as planned by June 18, 2020. A new date will be announced. If certified annual and consolidated financial statements cannot be made available until June 19, 2020, loans made to Wirecard AG amounting to approximately EUR 2 billion can be terminated.

The audit firm Ernst & Young GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft has informed Wirecard AG that all foreign auditors have meanwhile been able to finalize their audit procedures for Group purposes. Within the scope of the completed parts of the audit procedures, Wirecard has not yet been informed of any material findings. However, not all audit procedures have yet been completed. Against this background, the audit of the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements for 2019 will not be completed by June 4, 2020, as planned.
The publication of the consolidated financial statements and the annual press conference will take place on June 18, 2020. The company expects an unqualified audit opinion.
In February 2020, the company had reported preliminary sales revenue growth of 38 percent to EUR 2.8 billion and preliminary EBITDA of EUR 785 million (+40%). Wirecard assumes that there will be no significant deviations from these figures.
As a result of the changed scheduling, Wirecard AG is postponing its Annual General Meeting to August 26, 2020.

28.04.2020 / 07:52 CET/CEST Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP – a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Wirecard AG in the early hours of today, April 28 2020, received the special audit report by the auditing company KPMG. The report will be published as soon as possible under https://www.wirecard.com/transparency. Incriminating evidence for the public allegations of balance sheet forgery has not been identified. With respect to all four areas of the audit – Third Party Acquiring business (TPA), Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)/Digital Lending as well as the business activities in India and Singapore – no significant findings have been made, which would require an adjustment of the annual accounts 2016-2018. In the course of the audits of the annual accounts for the years 2016-2018 the available documents and audit measures were sufficient for the proof of the revenues in the Third Party Acquiring business. According to the increased forensic requirements of the audit by KPMG, however, not all data could be obtained that would have been required to proof the revenues in these years, because the required data are primarily in the control of third parties. Since Wirecard meanwhile controls the necessary data itself, more than 200 mio data relating to December 2019 sets have been provided to KPMG for a forensic audit. This audit has not revealed any deviations between the reported revenues and account balances. KPMG has identified documentation and organizational weaknesses during the audit period, which had already been identified by Wirecard. Wirecard remedies these weaknesses since 2019 by establishing a Global Compliance Organization and with the support of external consultants. The release of the annual accounts and the annual press conference will not take place on 30 April 2020. Wirecard will coordinate as soon as possible with the auditor E&Y, when the audit measures can be completed taking into account the Corona related restrictions and the completion of the KPMG report.
