WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

Pullach, 24 February 2015 - Sixt SE is currently examining an IPO by its
subsidiary Sixt Leasing AG. The Sixt Leasing AG is the parent company of
the Leasing Business Unit, under which all activities of private and
corporate customer leasing as well as fleet management are subsumed.

The objective for the subsidiary's separate listing is to substantially
strengthen the capital base in the leasing business by adding equity from
the capital market. This shall improve the financing structure of the
Leasing Business Unit and also create financial latitude for further growth
in the leasing business, whilst also leaving untouched the equity ratio of
the strongly expanding Vehicle Rental Business Unit. In addition, the
Leasing Business Unit's financing shall become more independent of the
Group parent Sixt SE in the medium term. Sixt SE still plans to retain a
major interest in Sixt Leasing AG even after the IPO.

At present Sixt SE and Sixt Leasing AG are examining the structure and
details of such a potential transaction.
