Zalando Changes Legal Form to Zalando AG

Berlin, December 11, 2013. Zalando today has filed for the change of its legal form from a German limited liability company (GmbH) to a private German stock corporation (AG). Following the entry into the German trade register, the company will be referred to as Zalando AG.

The change of the legal form is a long-planned step towards a corporate governance structure that is more suitable to the company`s current size.
