The Platform Group AG: 2024/2028 bond with a volume of EUR 30 million
successfully placed

* Strong appetite for The Platform Group AG's first bond issue

* Placement volume limited to EUR 30 million

* Early termination of the placement period

Düsseldorf, 1 July 2024. Demand for the first corporate bond issue of The
Platform Group AG (ISIN DE000A2QEFA1, "TPG"), a leading software company for
platform solutions, has exceeded the Company's expectations. The 2024/2028
corporate bond (ISIN: NO0013256834, WKN A383EW) enjoyed strong appetite from
institutional investors in Germany and abroad and was oversubscribed.

As a result of the great demand, the Company accelerated the end of the
subscription period to 1 July 2024 and limited the placement volume to EUR
30 million. The offering consisted of a public offering via Deutsche Börse's
subscription functionality and a private placement. The 2024/2028 corporate
bond is structured under Norwegian law (Nordic Bond) and has a tenor of four
years. The final interest rate was set at 8.875% p.a. at the end of the
offer period and will be paid semi-annually in arrears.

All orders up to EUR 3,000 placed via Deutsche Börse's subscription
functionality were fully allocated, subscriptions of EUR 4,000 or more were
allocated with around 80%. The issue and value date is 11 July 2024, on
which date the 2024/2028 bond will be regularly included in the Open Market
of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Quotation Board segment). Trading on terms
of issue on the Quotation Board of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected
to be possible from 2 July 2024. It is also planned to include the bond in
the Nordic ABM of the Oslo Stock Exchange within six months of the issue
date.

Reinhard Hetkamp, CFO of The Platform Group AG: "The strong appetite from
investors in Germany and abroad for our first corporate bond and the
significant oversubscription show us that our business model is well
perceived and convinces investors. The order books for the bond have now
been closed and, given the attractive market opportunities, we have a good
chance of shaping 2024 very positively and acquiring good targets in
profitable niches."

The transaction was accompanied by Pareto Securities AS, Frankfurt Branch as
lead manager, and bestin.capital GmbH and Lewisfield Deutschland GmbH as
financial advisors, Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek as legal advisor and CROSS
ALLIANCE communication as communications advisors.
