the Company have already been sold. An investment decision regarding such shares should only be made on the basis of 
the securities prospectus. The securities prospectus is available free of charge on the website of AUTO1 Group 
www.auto1-group.com under the investor relations section. 
In the United Kingdom, this release may only be distributed to, and is only directed at, persons who are "qualified 
investors" within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of 
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, and who are also (i) investment professionals falling within Article 19(5) of 
the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Order"), or (ii) persons

In connection with the placement of the shares in the Company, Goldman Sachs, acting for the account of the 
underwriters, will act as stabilization manager (the "Stabilization Manager") and may, as Stabilization Manager, make 
overallotments and take stabilization measures in accordance with Article 5(4) and (5) of the Regulation (EU) No 596/ 
2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014 on market abuse in conjunction with Articles 5 
through 8 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052) of March 8, 2016. Stabilization measures aim at supporting 
the market price of the shares of the Company during the stabilization period, such period starting on the date the 
Company's shares commence trading on the regulated market (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter 
Wertpapierbörse), expected to be February 4, 2021, end ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter (the 
"Stabilization Period"). Stabilization transactions may result in a market price that is higher than would otherwise 
prevail. The Stabilization Manager is, however, under no obligation to take any stabilization measures. Therefore, 
stabilization may not necessarily occur, and it may cease at any time. Stabilization measures may be undertaken at the 
following trading venues: Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Xetra, BATS Europe, Berlin Stock Exchange, Chi-X Exchange, 
Dusseldorf Stock Exchange, Equiduct MTF, Eurocac Stock Exchange, Hamburg Stock Exchange, Hanover Stock Exchange, IBIS, 
Munich Stock Exchange, Stuttgart Stock Exchange, Turquoise MTF, VirtX Exchange. 
In connection with such stabilization measures, investors were allocated 6,291,118 additional shares of the Company 
(the "Over-Allotment Shares"). The selling shareholders have granted the Stabilization Manager, acting for the account 
of the underwriters, an option to acquire up to 6,291,118 shares of the Company at the offer price, less agreed 
commissions (the "Greenshoe Option"). The Stabilization Manager, acting for the account of the underwriters, is 
entitled to exercise this option during the Stabilization Period, even if such exercise follows any sale of shares by 
the Stabilization Manager which the Stabilization Manager had previously acquired as part of stabilization measures 
(so-called refreshing the shoe).
