A total of 24,454,989 new shares for a subscription price of EUR 4.66 each
has been placed within the framework established by the resolution passed
on 21 August 2014, which resolution made use of the authorised capital of
Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA (the "Company"). 9,599,949 new shares
(representing app. 39.3 per cent of all new shares) were placed by way of
limited shareholders of the Company exercising their subscription rights.
The other 14,855,040 new shares will be acquired by three strategic
investors by way of a non-public private placement performed today. Through
this corporate action, the Company will receive new liquidity (before
deduction of costs) in the amount of app. EUR 114 million.
All further steps required for the completion of this capital increase will
now be executed. Once the capital increase has been performed and become
effective through its registration in the Commercial Register, the
Company's stock capital will have been increased to EUR 92.0 million
(consisting of 92.000.000 non-par value shares). This has been the target
value of the stock capital aimed at by the Management, so that the result
of the corporate action presents itself as an all-around successful full
placement.

in the Company in July 2014, has now, by exercising its subscription rights
