SANDPIPER Digital Payments AG: PlayPass, a portfolio company, wins prestigious
'Entrepeneur of the Year' award

St. Gallen, Switzerland / Brussels, October 2017:SANDPIPER Digital Payments
AG("SANDPIPER", ISIN: CH0033050961, Ticker: SDP,www.sandpiper.ch), a leading
company in Europe for cashless payment systems and services announces, that
PlayPass has won the prestigious 'Entrepreneur of the Year' award, presented by
the Flemish government. This award is a recognition for fast growing innovative
and promising companies, excelling in their development phase.

PlayPass provides event organizers with platform solutions that enable them to
increase revenue, operate more efficiently and deliver a better visitor
experience. Founded in December 2012, the company has 30 employees, and is
active in 16 countries on 5 continents. PlayPass has grown organically, with
headquarters in Belgium and satellite offices in New York and Singapore. In
addition, it is setting up offices in the UK and Spain and will invest heavily
in Germany as a hub for central Europe.

David De Wever, founder and CEO of PlayPass: "We are honored to have received
this prestigious award. It is a thankful recognition for the massive effort of
our team over the past years."

This young enterprise is an example of how new digital business models are
expanded, based on existing competences in the area: the cluster of concerts,
events and music business. The jury praises the company for its courage to keep
focusing on this niche market and to roll it out globally, before distributing
its products and services in other sectors as well. The payment solutions that
PlayPass offers have a lot of growth potential. But technology of course evolves
rapidly, meaning this company will have to keep adjusting. Management however is
aware of that. With this recognition, we want to encourage other entrepreneurs
in Flanders to realize their dream, with a healthy dose of realism and knowledge
that is often acquired in more traditional activities. This way PlayPass is the
perfect ambassador for the new entrepreneurship in Flanders ", says Geert Noels,
president of the jury.

PlayPass is expanding rapidly and is hiring 20 employees in 4 countries in the
next few months. For more information, please visitwww.playpass.eu.
