+ Roughly 9,000 units under management as of mid-2008
+ Option to take over additional units as of January 2009 
+ Reaching break-even point ahead of schedule

Berlin, May 15, 2008 – ESTAVIS Property Management GmbH, a subsidiary of
ESTAVIS AG, has substantially expanded the number of property assets under
its management. By taking over an extensive management mandate for several
properties located in Leipzig, Halle, Chemnitz and surrounding areas, the
company is about to expand its managed portfolio from currently 4,000 to
roughly 9,000 units by mid-2008. This means it will reach its break-even
point ahead of schedule. 'Beyond that, we have an option to take over
another 5,000 to 6,000 units, beginning in early 2009,' says Hans-Joerg
Ludolph, Managing Director of ESTAVIS Property Management.

Rainer Schorr, Chairman of the Board of ESTAVIS AG, comments: 'Our property
management business is growing faster than expected, and has thus reached
the break-even point well ahead of time. The fact commends the recognised
quality of our services. Taking over this management mandate will
strengthen those of our activities that are not based on portfolio trading.
Simultaneously, we have taken a big step forward in our efforts to
diversify the sources of income within our corporate group. The business
line of property management is typically defined by steady cash flows and a
comparatively low level of dependence on market cycles. Thus, it
complements our core business of portfolio trading in a strategically
sensible way.'

Seated in Halle/Saxony-Anhalt and currently having a staff of 27
professionals, ESTAVIS Property Management GmbH commenced operation in
August 2007. The company provides asset management and property management
services both to portfolio customers of the ESTAVIS Group and to third
parties along the lines of service mandates.
