Hapag-Lloyd AG: Hapag-Lloyd to be included in SDAX index of Deutsche Börse

Hapag-Lloyd will become a member of the SDAX index of Deutsche Börse. This
was announced by Deutsche Börse after a regular review of its indices. The
SDAX is a German Blue Chip Equity Index and contains 50 companies listed in
the Prime Segment of Deutsche Börse which follow the 30 DAX and the 50 MDAX
companies with regard to free float market capitalisation and order book
turnover. Other members of the SDAX family are for instance Puma,
Schaeffler, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, HHLA and VTG.

'The inclusion into the SDAX marks an important step for the Hapag-Lloyd
share which only started trading on November 6th 2015. The increased
awareness resulting from listing within an index is expected to increase
liquidity for shareholders, broaden analyst coverage - allowing for a more
frequent valuation - and to increase publicity,' said Rolf Habben Jansen,
CEO of Hapag-Lloyd AG.

The composition of the SDAX will be adjusted on 18 March 2016 and from 21
March 2016 the SDAX trading will include the Hapag-Lloyd share.
