used for redemption of existing Euro Notes
Hapag-Lloyd AG ('Hapag-Lloyd') has successfully placed Additional Notes

Offer will expire on October 17, 2013 and will settle on October 21, 2013.
The Tender Offer has been followed today by a further call for redemption

the Tender Offer and the gross proceeds from the offering of the Additional
Notes.
The Additional Notes will be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The
offering was supported by Deutsche Bank as lead left manager and bookrunner
as well as by Citigroup and J.P.Morgan as joint lead managers and
bookrunners. Co-managers were Berenberg Bank, IKB Deutsche Industriebank,
