22.04.2020 / 21:03 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 has just been informed by KPMG that the auditing company will present the results of the ongoing special audit on Monday, April 27, 2020. In the remaining days, data inventories still received are to be processed and taken into account.
In accordance with the audit assignment, to date no substantial findings have been made in all four areas of the audit – the Third Party Partner Business (TPA) and Merchant Cash Advance (MCA)/Digital Lending divisions, as well as the business activities in India and Singapore – which would have led to a need for correction of the annual financial statements for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 investigation period. No evidence was found for the publicly raised allegations of balance sheet manipulation.
Since October 2019, KPMG has been conducting a special investigation on behalf of the Supervisory Board of Wirecard AG in order to clarify the accusations of balance sheet manipulation made against the company by the media. In the interests of transparent processes, Wirecard AG will make the report to be published available on its homepage in the “Transparency” section.
As announced, the publication of the annual financial statements and the annual press conference will take place on April 30, 2020.

12.03.2020 / 23:01 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 auditing company KPMG has informed Wirecard AG that it has largely completed the special investigation of Wirecard AG’s business activities in India and Singapore as well as the Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) / Digital Lending division. From today’s perspective, these parts of the audit have not produced any substantial findings in these areas of investigation that would result in a need for correction of the annual financial statements for the 2016, 2017 and 2018 investigation periods. The investigation of third-party partner business (TPA) is still ongoing and is expected to be completed by 22 April 2020 at the latest. The extensive inspection of relevant documents, including those of external companies, and corona virus-related travel restrictions make the extended timeframe necessary. Accordingly, the Management Board of Wirecard AG today decided to postpone publication of the annual financial statements and the annual press conference (previously April 8, 2020) to April 30, 2020.

Wirecard AG publishes details of Share Buyback Program 2019/I
Announcement pursuant to Article 5(1a) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 and Art. 2(1) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052
Aschheim (Munich). The management board (the “Management Board“) of Wirecard AG (ISIN DE0007472060) (the “Company“) has resolved on October 17, 2019, with approval of the Company’s supervisory board (the “Supervisory Board“) as of the same day, to implement a share buyback program (the “Share Buyback Program 2019/I“) for an amount of up to EUR 200 million (excluding acquisition expenses).
The Share Buyback Program 2019/I is to be conducted under the authorization of the Company’s annual general meeting of June 20, 2017, according to which the Company’s own shares may be purchased, in addition to a sale via the stock exchange or via an offer to all shareholders in proportion to their shareholding, for any permissible purpose, in particular for the purpose of redemption and for the offer and transfer in return for non-cash contributions in the case of company acquisitions.
Within the Share Buyback Program 2019/I, up to 2,500,000 of the Company’s shares may be repurchased in the period from November 5, 2019 to November 5, 2020. The Management Board has approved, with approval of the Supervisory Board, an amount of EUR 200 million as the largest possible total purchase price for the acquisition of shares of the Company (excluding acquisition expenses).
The share buyback will be carried out in accordance with the Safe Harbor Rules defined under Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council dated April 16, 2014, in conjunction with the provisions of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of the Commission dated March 8, 2016.
In accordance with the authorization granted by Company’s annual general meeting held on June 20, 2017, the purchase price paid by the Company per share of the Company (excluding incidental acquisition costs) if acquisition is carried out through the stock exchange may not exceed by more than 10 % or fall below by more than 20 % the average of the closing prices in Xetra trading (or in a comparable successor system on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange) for shares of the Company of the same class on the last five trading days prior to the date of acquisition or, if earlier, the date on which the obligation to acquire was entered into. In addition, in accordance with Art. 3 (2) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, within the Share Buyback Program 2019/I, shares may not be acquired at a price that exceeds that of the most recent independently executed transaction or (if this should be higher) that exceeds that of the currently highest independent offer on the exchange on which the purchase is taking place.
The share buyback will be carried out under the authority and for account of the Company by a financial institution that will make its decisions regarding the timing of the acquisition of treasury shares independently and without the influence of the Company during the aforementioned period, in accordance with Art. 4 (2b) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of March 8, 2016. Therefore, the Company will exert no influence on the decisions of the financial institution. Among other things, the financial institution has also undertaken to comply with the trading conditions defined under Art. 3 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016 and the requirements established in the Share Buyback Program 2019/I.
The Share Buyback Program 2019/I may be suspended and also resumed at any time where necessary and permitted under the law.
The acquired shares may be used for any of the purposes set out in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on market abuse (Market Abuse Regulation).
Information regarding the transactions related to the Share Buyback Program 2019/I will be appropriately announced in a manner corresponding to the requirements set forth under Art. 2(3) sentence 1 in conjunction with (2) of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, on or before the end of the seventh trading day following the date on which such transactions are executed.
In addition, the Company will publish the announced transactions in the ‘Investor Relations’ section of its website (www.wirecard.de) in accordance with Art. 2 (3) sentence 2 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 dated March 8, 2016, and ensure that the information remains publicly accessible for a minimum of five years from the date of each such publication.
