St. Gallen, June 18th, 2017 - SANDPIPER Digital Payments AG (BX Berne eXchange,
Ticker: SDP,www.sandpiper.ch, Open Market, Frankfurt, ISIN: CH0033050961:

After the release of SANDPIPER's audited annual report 2017 by EY Ernst & Young,
SMC Research published a comment about SANDPIPER entitled "Successful
Consolidation". The comment refers to the initial study about SANDPIPER by SMC
Research, which identified great potential for the company. SMC now highlights
the significant progress that SANDPIPER has made regarding its cost structure,
which positively affected the financial results in 2017. Notably, revenues
increased by 5.4% despite considerable cost reductions. This development falls
within the upper end of SMC's expectations, which is why the research analyst
raised SANDPIPER's target share price to EUR 0.27, from a previous target price
of EUR 0.26. The recommendation remained a "Speculative Buy". The update
highlights that the improvement of the cost structure developed better than
expected. Additionally, SMC points out that further positive effects are
expected from increased exploitation of synergies in the future, which will fuel
revenue growth, with the explicit target of reaching profitability.

SANDPIPER invited its shareholders to its annual general meeting on June 29th,
2018. The highlight of the meeting will be the re-election of three new,
renowned members of the Board of Directors: Franz Herrlein, Steffen Seeger and
Dieter Froehlich.
