- Pricing search engine broadens portfolio of ProSiebenSat.1 Group’s Networld

Munich, February 22, 2007. The ProSiebenSat.1 Group has acquired a majority stake in Solute GmbH, which operates the second largest German pricing search engines on the Internet at www.billiger.de. The ProSiebenSat.1 Group has the option of acquiring the remaining portion of Solute at a later date. With this acquisition, Germany’s leading commercial television company continues to expand its presence in the digital world. Along with stakes in MyVideo as a platform for user-generated content, acquired in August 2006, and lokalisten.de, a social networking site acquired in October 2006, the ProSiebenSat.1 Group now has a stake in a price comparison service as well.

billiger.de is one of the most popular German price comparison services. Monthly page impressions soared by 90 percent between October 2006 and January 2007, rising from 18 million to about 34 million.

billiger.de is the first and only German pricing site with the “s@fer shopping” seal issued by TÜV, the leading technical benchmarking organization in Germany. The platform helps online shoppers find the best deals from the most trusted shops. Detailed product information and a clear, user-friendly layout help Internet users make purchasing decisions about millions of items from several thousand shops. The spectrum ranges from cell phones, laptops, books, CDs, and designer clothing to medications. At billiger.de, shoppers can find the best deals for everything that can be purchased on the Internet.
