MUNICH, January 13, 2011 - Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its
affiliates, "KKR") and funds advised by Permira ("Permira Funds") announce
that Lavena Holding 5 GmbH, the holding company held jointly by KKR and the
Permira Funds, is intending to sell in the market a total of 8 million
preference shares, representing approximately 3.7% of the total share capital
of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG ("P7S1"), by way of an accelerated book building
to institutional investors.

preference share free float and liquidity.

to hold approximately 53.0% of P7S1's share capital and 88% of its voting
rights. Lavena Holding 5 GmbH has agreed on a customary 90 day lock-up
period.

Book building will start immediately. This press release does
not constitute an offer to sell, and the sale of P7S1 shares by Lavena
Holding
5 GmbH does not constitute a public offering.
