Hapag-Lloyd adjusts price range and offer structure

Due to ongoing market volatility, Hapag-Lloyd ("the Company") and its
existing shareholders after consultation with the Joint Global Coordinators
have decided to adjust the price range and the offer structure in the
course of the initial public offering ("IPO") of Hapag-Lloyd.

The new price range has been set at EUR 20 to EUR 22 per share. Under the
adjusted offer structure, the number of shares from the capital increase
has been increased to up to 13,228,677 shares that the Company will sell
based on the offer price and will be such number of shares as is necessary
to still provide the Company with gross proceeds of approximately US$300
million (about EUR 265 million). Core shareholders Kühne Maritime ("Kühne")
and Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores (CSAV) have reiterated their
cornerstone orders of US$30 million each. Further up to 1,984,301 shares
from the holdings of TUI-Hapag Beteiligungs GmbH ("TUI") will be offered to
cover potential over allotments. The new offer structure does not provide
TUI with an additional shares placement option.

The adjusted offering consists of a total of up to 15,212,978 shares of
Hapag-Lloyd. The new total offering size including primary proceeds for
Hapag-Lloyd and potential over allotments can amount up to approximately
US$ 345 million (about EUR 304 million). This would imply a free float of
up to 18 per cent across the price range, including existing Hapag-Lloyd
shareholders with an ownership of below 5 per cent.

The supplement to the IPO prospectus indicating the amended terms of issue
still requires approval from the German Financial Supervisory Authority
(BaFin), which is expected during the course of today. The offer period for
the new shares had previously been extended until 3 November 2015.

Upon successful conclusion of the offering, the shares are expected to
start trading on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange and the regulated market of the Hamburg Stock Exchange on 6
November 2015 under the German Securities Code (WKN) HLAG47 and
International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) DE000HLAG475.

Berenberg, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs International are acting as
Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners. Citigroup, Credit Suisse,
HSBC and UniCredit have been mandated as additional Joint Bookrunners. DZ
BANK, ING and M.M.Warburg & CO will act as Co-Lead Managers.
