Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders of Deutsche Immobilien Holding AG

Today the annual general meeting of the shareholders of Deutsche Immobilien Holding AG for 2009 took place in Delmenhorst. All of the points on the agenda were passed by a large majority, in some cases unanimously. Apart from exoneration of the board of management and the supervisory board for the financial year 2008, the company underlined its commitment to further growth with the decision to raise its authorized capital by an additional 35 million euros.

Following the introductory regulatory matters, presented by the major shareholder Kurt Zech in his role as chairman of the supervisory board, Werner Uhde of the board of management explained the annual financial statements for 2008. In the period of the report the Group earned 1.2 million euros. He pointed out the main pillars of company activities and reported on individual contributions towards the end result.

Apart from the segments Structured Capital Investments and Facility Management, the Group, which is active in the real-estate sector, had also involved itself in project-development transactions. Its most spectacular project is Düsseldorf's Kö-Bogen. This core real estate in the heart of the city, with its investment volume of some 300 million euros, has already attracted public interest on a nationwide scale. With its rapidly growing balance-sheet volume of almost 125 million euros, Uhde sees the Group as being well positioned for the future and he expects profits to increase notably in the medium term.

A dividend of 0.10 euros per share will be paid out to the shareholders. With this decision, Deutsche Immobilien Holding AG returns to a policy of dividend payments to shareholders for the first time in many years. A development that is accompanied by a fast-rising list price on the stock exchange.
