Press Release

publity CEO has so far bought publity shares for around 4.0 million Euro in the stock market crash of 2020

- More than 120,000 shares purchased via stock exchange

- Thomas Olek now holds 87 percent of all publity shares

Frankfurt/Main, 07. April 2020 - The CEO of publity AG (Scale, ISIN DE0006972508), Thomas Olek, emphasises his confidence in the company's future prospects even in the stock market crash of the past few weeks with further massive share purchases. Since 19 February 2020, when the German share index reached an all-time high and subsequently lost almost 40 percent of its value in record speed, Olek has acquired more than 120,000 publity shares on the stock exchange in numerous individual transactions via its private investment company TO Holding GmbH. The value of his share purchases in the current stock market crash alone thus totals around EUR 4.0 million.

Thomas Olek, CEO of publity AG: "I do not approve of directors dealing in homeopathic doses. With my recent share purchases in turbulent stock market times, I not only want to make an attractive investment, but also show my fellow shareholders that we are in the same boat and that I have more confidence in publity than ever. The only way I credibly convey this is through a purchase volume that is really relevant. Directors Dealings should not only be a marketing instrument. Fortunately, publity's share price has remained comparatively stable in recent weeks and has developed significantly better than the market as a whole or real estate shares in general".

Since mid-2018, Olek has invested a total of around 130 million euros in publity throughout various phases of the stock market and currently holds around 87 percent of all shares.
