Munich, 09 February 2021 
Corporate News for inside information pursuant to Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of 09 February 2021 
UMT AG launches realignment to become value-oriented "TechnologyHouse" and acquires BUCHBERGER Group 
  . Core competencies in the area of digitalization as growth driver 
  . Acquisition as first step in UMT's new "buy-and-build" strategy 
  . BUCHBERGER Group regionally important player in the construction industry with approx. EUR 20 million in revenue 
    and 18% EBITDA margin 
UMT United Mobility Technology AG is completely realigning its strategy and transforming itself from a specialist for 
mobile payment to a value-oriented and digital "TechnologyHouse" for integrated mobile commercial applications. The new 
strategy is based on comprehensive solution expertise in the development, introduction and operation of secure, 
integrated and end-to-end IT solutions with payment components. Mastering complex logistics systems, from ordering to 
service, is part of UMT's DNA. Beyond the current focus on mobile payment, there is an immense need for 
technology-related consulting and service know-how in the area of software and e-commerce. Thanks to its in-depth core 
competencies in the area of digitization, this puts UMT in a position to significantly expand its existing range of 
products and services. 
Instead of focusing solely on the highly competitive market for mobile payments, the company intends to use its expert 
knowledge to tap new growth and value potential across industry boundaries. The focus is on industries that are 
future-oriented and crisis-resistant, as well as having a low level of digitization in the B2B and B2C sectors. The aim 
is to accelerate growth momentum in the course of digitization and to generate significant revenue and earnings growth 
as well as steady cash flows by consolidating the overall market addressed. 
With the complete takeover of Buchberger Baugeraete Handel GmbH and Buchberger Baumaschinen Vermietung und Service GmbH 
(the "BUCHBERGER Group") based in Ingolstadt, Germany, UMT is taking the first step in its newly defined "buy and 
build" strategy. The acquisition is being made as part of a capital increase through contributions in kind, excluding 
subscription rights, by issuing 2,937,500 new shares at a price of EUR 8.00. 
As a so-called "full-range supplier", the BUCHBERGER Group (www.buchbergergmbh.de) has been a competent partner with 
state-of-the-art technology for all topics relating to building construction and civil engineering as well as gardening 
and landscaping for over 50 years. The entire BUCHBERGER Group generated revenues of around EUR 20 million in 2020, 
with EBITDA of approximately EUR 3.5 million. The acquisition is an important building block in the strategic 
realignment of UMT AG and ideal-typical for its future focus. The BUCHBERGER Group has been established in the market 
for many years, still operates predominantly "analog" and runs a profitable business with solid growth rates, minimal 
leverage and predictable cash flows. Despite its very good positioning in a highly fragmented market, the company still 
operates largely with traditional face-to-face or stationary sales. This and the simultaneous high consolidation 
potential in the fragmented construction industry and the associated trade offer great opportunities for UMT to use the 
digitization expertise it has built up over many years to add value. 
The increased importance of this expertise at UMT AG is also reflected in the addition of Dr. Juergen Schulz to the 
Board of Management. Dr. Schulz will contribute his experience as Managing Director of UMT subsidiary UMS United Mobile 
Services GmbH and will be responsible for the technology and digitization area on the Board of Management in the 
future. 
In the digitization projects already underway within the BUCHBERGER Group, UMT is placing smartphone and web 
applications at the center of a completely new type of user experience that encompasses all steps from selection and 
payment to use and return of the product. "BUCHBERGER can thus make its portfolio accessible to a much larger audience 
and participate in the trend towards distance and online selling," says a delighted Dr. Juergen Schulz, who is 
responsible for the project as the new member of the Board of Management and CTO of UMT AG. 
In the medium term, this will create the best conditions for the national, or rather future-oriented, Europe-wide 
"buy-and-build" strategy: 
Firstly, the focus is on consolidating direct competitors and affiliated value creation stages in a fragmented market 
and - at a later date - on synergistically meaningful acquisitions of companies in similarly structured market 
segments. 
Secondly, the digital integration of functions and market presence will significantly increase the efficiency of these 
companies and make them fit for future challenges. There is a great need for UMT's entire technological expertise in 
all areas. 
"As part of our new strategy with a buy-and-build approach, we will not only be able to realize significant revenue and 
earnings growth in the future, but also dividend-oriented, steady cash flows with sustainable profitability. Thanks to 
our excellent access to the capital market, our extensive IT experience and our expertise in the digitization of 
business processes, we believe that we are ideally positioned to make a significant contribution to consolidation and 
digitization in future-oriented and stable industries with a low level of digitization, such as the construction 
industry in this case. This opens up completely new perspectives for UMT - also in view of the company's size," says 
Dr. Albert Wahl, CEO of UMT AG. 
Further detailed information on the entire transaction will be announced after registration of the capital increase in 
kind.
