Tweet October 27, 2014 Sky Germany’s Service Centre Optimises Staff Planning with Workforce Management from InVision With the introduction of the InVision workforce management (WFM) solution, Sky Germany’s service centre in Schwerin has significantly reduced the administrative workload for its staff planning and increased the productivity of the entire operation. The persons responsible for WFM now have one hundred percent control over the entire, complex planning process and the system used for this purpose. In addition, the company has achieved a ninety percent compliance rate of employee preferences, which proves an increase in employee satisfaction. The Sky Deutschland Service Center GmbH in Schwerin employs approximately 750 people offering an exclusive service for customers and prospective customers of the pay-TV provider Sky Germany - operating 24 hours a day, all year round. Since the start of the Schwerin-based contact centre in 2000, staff planning was executed with the help of in-house tables and lists. Parallel to the growth development of the parent company Sky Germany, the Schwerin location continued to grow. Thus, the complexity of planning increased and operational processes became more elaborate and time-consuming. Therefore, the Sky Germany Service Center GmbH decided to implement a professional workforce management solution: their choice was InVision. The InVision system enables the Sky workforce managers to create an optimised, requirement- and employee-oriented workforce management. They always have optimal control over the entire course of the day and can execute short-term planning changes in case of deviations. Agents are more efficiently planned and deployed, having resulted in an increase of overall productivity of the service centre. "The risks arising from manual management and processing of numerous lists were completely eliminated. And we have reached our goal to increase productivity, in any case”, says Thomas Opheys, Director Forecasting & Performance, Sky Deutschland Fernsehen GmbH & Co. KG. “We also meet at least 90 percent of all employees’ preferences. But the most important thing is that with InVision we have gained complete visibility and control with regard to our capacity and resources. We are absolutely satisfied with the solution from InVision.” Tweet October 23, 2014 Preliminary Nine-Months Results: EBIT Increases by 175%, EBIT Margin at Record Levels According to preliminary figures for the first nine months of 2014, InVision AG (ISIN: DE0005859698) increased its EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) by 175% to EUR 2.9 million (9M 2013: EUR 1.1 million).

The above mentioned resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting as well as the execution were registered in the Commercial Register (Handelsregister) of the Company, HRB 44338, at the Düsseldorf Local Court (Amtsgericht Düsseldorf) on 11th June 2014 and on 26th June 2014. By execution of the capital reduction, each individual share again represents a pro rata amount of the share capital of EUR 1.00. The purpose of these capital measures, which converted appropriated capital reserves into free capital reserves, is the repayment of part of the capital to shareholders. The reduction amount of EUR 5,587,500.00 will be paid on a pro rata basis for each existing share on the date of payment. On the basis of the current number of 2,235,000 existing shares, this results in a payment amount of EUR 2.50 per share. Due to provisions of corporate law, the repayment to shareholders will be executed at the end of a period of six months after the entry of the capital reduction in the Commercial Register has been published, and after the claims of creditors, that have made themselves known in due time, have been secured or satisfied. Shareholders do not need to take any further steps as the payment will be handled by their custodian bank that have the shares in custody at the relevant cutoff date. As 26th December 2014 (six months after the entry of the capital reduction in the Commercial Register has been published on 26th June 2014) is a public holiday in Germany, the relevant cutoff date for shareholders that are entitled to the repayment shall be postponed to the next business day, Monday, 29th December 2014, after close of trading. The Company will arrange the payment on the following day, Tuesday, 30th December 2014.
