Statement of Intent (SoI)

   Die Baillie Gifford & Co mit Sitz in Edinburgh/Großbritannien hat am
   1. Oktober 2019 mit 11,68% (252765235 Stimmrechte) die Schwelle von
   10% der Stimmrechte an der Zalando SE überschritten. Dies ist gemäß §
   43 WpHG als wesentliche Beteiligung einzuordnen. Am 8. Oktober 2019
   teilte die Baillie Gifford & Co Folgendes mit:

   'In respect to Section 43 of the Securities Trading Act (WpHG)
   regarding notification requirements applicable to Baillie Gifford &
   Co's interest in Zalando SE, please find below the response from us,
   Baillie Gifford & Co and our subsidiaries (together referred to as the
   'Notifying Parties'):
   Baillie Gifford & Co
   Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited

   The crossing of the threshold does not result from acquisitions by the
   Notifier but from attributions from investment managers and advisors
   which qualify as subsidiaries of at least one of the Notifier and to
   which the voting rights are attributed

   In respect of the aims underlying the purchase of the voting rights,
   we, the Notifying Parties, notify that:

   1. The investments are aimed at both implementing strategic objectives
   and at generating a trading profit. This results from Notifying
   Parties' overall intention to gain maximum returns for the Notifying
   Parties' clients on a long-term basis.

   2. We plan to acquire further voting rights within the next twelve
   months by means of a purchase or by any other means. Our intention is
   to gain maximum returns for the Notifying Parties' clients and
   therefore we may buy or sell shares in the next twelve months.

   3. We intend to exert an influence on the appointment or removal of
   members of the issuer's administrative, managing and supervisory
   bodies. We will continue to exercise our right to vote at the
   company's annual general meeting, and any special general meetings
   should they be called in the best interests of our clients.

   4. We do not intend to achieve a material change in the company's
   capital structure, in particular as regards the ratio between own
   funds and external funds and the dividend policy. However, we might
   vote on such topics in the same way we set out in no. 3.

   In respect of the origin of the funds used, we, the Notifying Parties,
   notify that:
   Client funds were used to finance the purchase of the voting rights.'
