Personal declaration

Dear customers and partners,
Dear shareholders,
Dear employees,
Ladies and gentlemen,

I would hereby like to inform you of my personal decision to resign as CEO of Wirecard AG with immediate effect and in agreement with the Supervisory Board. I informed the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of my decision this morning.
The confidence of the capital market in the company I have been managing for 18 years has been deeply shaken. With my decision, I respect the fact that responsibility for all business transactions lies with the CEO.
As most of you are aware, I, as a shareholder, am also personally and massively affected by the events of the past few days, weeks and months.
I would like to thank all those with whom I have been able to build this company side by side and whose trust I and others have enjoyed. Wirecard AG has an excellent business model, outstanding technology and sufficient resources for a great future. I do not want to burden this future.

Dr. Markus Braun
