Fast online and on the track: amplus AG becomes Official Partner of BMW Motorsport.

Munich (DE), 3rd June 2016. amplus AG is the new Official Partner of
BMW Motorsport in the DTM. The company based in Teisnach (DE) is the
leading broadband company in eastern Bavaria, and provides more than
100 municipalities in 13 districts of Lower Bavaria and the Upper
Palatinate with broadband connections of 200 megabits per second and
above. The company’s main focus is on expanding its own fibre-optic
network. As the Official Partner, as of the races at the Lausitzring
(DE), amplus AG will be represented prominently with its logo on four
BMW M4 DTMs as part of a long-term, sustainable partnership.

“We are delighted to be able to welcome amplus AG to our BMW DTM
family as the Official Partner,” said BMW Motorsport Director
Jens Marquardt. “Speed is the foundation of motorsport, on and in
particular off the track. In today’s interconnected world, digital
infrastructure is also very important to race teams. amplus AG
provides all of their customers with Internet connections at racing
speed at home – particularly in rural areas. This fascination for
speed is what connects BMW Motorsport and amplus AG.”

“The partnership between BMW Motorsport and amplus AG is very
exciting in every respect, particularly for us as a young, regional
company. After all, BMW is a company rich in tradition and active
around the world, and is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this
year. On top of this, we have many similarities: We are connected by a
central team concept and naturally our Bavarian heritage. Our entire
workforce identifies with the partnership that has just launched and
is looking forward to the future collaboration,” said Christof
Englmeier, CEO of amplus AG. “Naturally, our touch points are
also reflected in the company philosophy: Just like those in charge at
BMW Motorsport are always looking for maximum speed, we also champion
high-speed Internet.”

About amplus AG:

Since the company was founded in 2009, amplus AG has established
itself as one of the leading broadband companies in southern Germany.
As a subsidiary of the CCNST Group and second-largest broadband
carrier in Bavaria, the Lower Bavarian Internet provider supplies more
than 100 municipalities in 13 districts of eastern Bavarian with
broadband connections of 200 megabits per second. Several thousand
customers already benefit from amplus AG’s broadband network. Many
more will follow in the coming years. “Fast Internet for
everyone” has been the philosophy of amplus AG from the outset
and the guiding principle of their business operations. The relatively
young company is already transitioning from a network operator to a
provider of premium online services. From smart homes through
e-mobility to telemedicine: Thanks to the latest fibre-optic
technology and fibre optic cables into homes, municipalities, business
customers and private users all benefit from amplus AG’s growth strategy.

In cooperation with the municipalities in their catchment area, this
is why all 80 employees of the CCNST Group are devising individual
concepts for the planned fibre optic expansion. Rural regions in
particular are among the attractive locations in Bavaria through their
connection to the six-lane digital highway. In a collaborative
partnership, amplus AG therefore develops innovative broadband
solutions with a long-term focus for regions away from urban centres.
