EANS-Adhoc: United Internet sells its directly held freenet shares

  ad-hoc disclosure pursuant to section 15 of the WpHG transmitted by euro
  adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide distribution. The issuer is solely
  responsible for the content of this announcement.
26.08.2009
In an over-the-counter transaction, United Internet AG (ISIN 
DE0005089031) today sold the 10,798,817 shares (corresponding to 
8.43% of voting rights) which it held directly in freenet AG, 
Büdelsdorf. The proceeds from the sale amounted to EUR 93.95 million,
corresponding to a price of EUR 8.70 / share.
United Internet expects to post an extraordinary income from the sale
of the freenet shares. Contrary to this positive result, it is 
currently expected that the carrying value of shares held by United 
Internet in Versatel will be written down in the third quarter due to
the falling market price of Versatel shares. The size of the 
write-down will depend on the closing Xetra price of the Versatel AG 
share on September 30, 2009. As of the current date, United Internet 
expects the two aforementioned divergent effects to result in an 
extraordinary positive income of around EUR 20 million in the third 
quarter of 2009.
Together with Drillisch AG, Maintal, United Internet continues to 
hold 12,751,183 shares (corresponding to 9.96% of voting rights) in 
freenet AG via the jointly held company MSP Holding GmbH, in which 
each company holds a 50% stake. In addition, Drillisch AG holds 
shares in freenet AG. The contractual voting commitment between 
United Internet and Drillisch remains unchanged, so that the share of
voting rights held by United Internet AG still about 17 % after the 
sale of the freenet shares it held directly.
