Hamburg, February 28, 2008 - As had been expected, MPC
Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG, the SDAX-listed wealth and asset
manager, fell short of the previous year's record results in
fiscal 2007. This was due, on the one hand, to a large number of
forward-looking decisions, which will start to contribute to
profits only in the current fiscal year and, on the other hand, to
income from the sale of fund properties generated in the previous
year. The approved and ratified consolidated financial statements
show sales of EUR 213.7 million, which is 6% below the previous
year's EUR 228.4 million. At EUR 53.1 million, earnings before
interest and taxes (EBIT) were down 29% on the previous year's EUR
74.6 million. Consolidated net income for the year after
minorities declined by 31% from EUR 56.0 million to EUR 38.6
million, which represents earnings per share of EUR 3.64 (2006: EUR
5.28). At their joint meeting, the Management Board and the
Supervisory Board decided to propose to the Annual General
Meeting on April 22, 2008 to pay out a dividend of EUR 3.50 per
share (2006: EUR 5.00).

As of the balance sheet date, the Group's total assets amounted to
EUR 306.4 million (2006: EUR 213.4 million). The equity ratio
stood at 39.1% (2006: 71.5%). The balance sheet shows EUR 119.7
million in equity (2006: EUR 152.5 million).

The Management Board continues to project a placement volume of EUR 1.1 billion
for the current fiscal year (2007: EUR 1,062 million). The planned increase in
the investment in HCI Capital AG to 35.1% (previously: 15.1%) suggests that
consolidated net income for 2008 will amount to EUR 52 million (previously: EUR
45 million). In conjunction with this transaction, MPC Capital AG plans to
increase its capital from 10.6 million shares to 12.15 million shares (from
authorised capital), so that earnings per share will increase from EUR 4.25 to
EUR 4.28.
With regard to the analysis of the figures for fiscal 2007 and their
comparability, the following should be taken into account:

1) Decisions for the future In the past fiscal year, the company
focused on winning new target groups, refining its organisation
and pooling its distribution power under the MPC Capital brand
as well as on developing new attractive markets and products.

MPC Global Maritime Opportunities, the first MPC Capital
product for institutional investors, was successfully placed in the
market in an amount of EUR 158 million. Due to its focus on
recurring management fees, the fund made no profit contribution in
the past fiscal year but will significantly enhance the quality of
sales through recurring income going forward. Moreover, it
represents the basis for future offerings to institutional investors.

The entry in the institutional business segment led to a
modification of the distribution structure. Three sales
organisations are now grouped under the MPC Capital brand: MPC
Capital Investments for closed-end funds, MPC Capital Concepts
for open-ended capital investments such as investment
funds, structured products and insurance products as well as MPC
Capital Privatbank for the institutional business and private
placements. The three companies have full operational sales
responsibility and an excellent position for the future under the
MPC Capital brand.

MPC Capital has developed new investment concepts such as the
Indian Real Estate Fund and Real Estate Opportunity Asia. The
company's entry in the market for renewable energy funds (solar
farms) and the financing of an exploration oil drilling rig (MPC
Deepsea Oil Explorer) testify to the forward-looking expansion
of the asset classes. A major portion of the development costs
was incurred in 2007. This is reflected in the disproportionate
increase in "Other operating expenses" from EUR 33.4 million to
EUR 38.6 million. With the exception of the Indian fund, all
these products will be placed and, hence, make a profit
contribution in the current fiscal year.

2) Analysis of sales - income from property sales in the previous
year In 2006, opportunities arising in the international real
estate markets were exploited to the benefit of its shareholders
by selling properties from the closed-end fund portfolios. The
successful sale of assets (revenues from winding up funds) made
a significant contribution to sales and earnings in the previous
year, which could not be realised in the same amount in fiscal
2007. This is reflected in the structure of MPC Capital AG's sales
revenues as of the balance sheet date.

|Sales in TEUR |2007 |2006 |+/- |
|Sales from initiating projects |9,011 |13,092 |-3% |
|Sales from placing equity |177,985 |165,136 |+8% |
|Sales from fund management |24,534 |21,179 |+16% |
|Sales from fund liquidation |2,157 |28,958 |-93% |
|TOTAL |213,687 |228,366 |-6% |

3) Analysis of sales - increase in recurring sales Accounting for 59%
(2006: 49%) of total sales, ship investments were the most
successful product group in fiscal 2007. Real estate funds
contributed 21% to sales (2006: 30%), while life insurance funds
accounted for 10% of total sales (2006: 12%). Structured products
represented 4% of sales (2006: 4%). Private equity and investment
funds contributed 3%,respectively (2006: 5%), to Group sales in
2007.

A positive development was reflected in the continued increase in
recurring sales which rose from 9.3% to 11.5% in the past fiscal year
and testify to the ongoing evolution of MPC Capital AG. The company
plans to expand the share of recurring sales to 20%, so that they
would fully cover the Group's fixed costs.

4) Effects from the investment in HCI Capital and the financing
of an oil drilling rig The dividend of EUR 5.1 million from the
15.1% investment in HCI Capital AG is included in "Income from
participations". This income more than offsets the interest
expenses for the debt capital raised to acquire the shares in
an amount of EUR 41.7 million.

In MPC Capital's balance sheet for the period ended December
31, 2007, especially the investment in HCI Capital AG and
the financing of the exploration oil drilling rig, led to a
change in the balance sheet structure. At EUR 306.4 million, total
assets are up by 44% on the previous year's EUR 213.4 and the
equity capital of EUR 119.7 million (2006: EUR 152.5 million)
represents 39.1% (2006: 71.5%) of the company's total assets. In
conjunction with the financing of an exploration oil drilling rig,
receivables and other assets in an amount of USD 122.4 million (EUR
83.1 million) on the assets side are offset by current liabilities
in the same amount on the liabilities side. These will be repaid
in full when the fund is placed in the current fiscal year. The
investment in HCI Capital is shown under "Participations" in
an amount of EUR 54.0 million. As of the reporting date, the shares
were valued at EUR 14.90 per share. On the liabilities side, this
item is primarily offset by debt capital in an amount of EUR 41.7
million.

Outlook on 2008 The Management Board continues to project a placement
volume of EUR 1.1 billion for the current fiscal year (2007: EUR
1,062 million). The planned increase in the investment in HCI
Capital AG to 35.1% (previously: 15.1%) suggests that
consolidated net income for 2008 will amount to EUR 52 million
(previously: EUR 45 million). In conjunction with this transaction,
MPC Capital AG plans to increase its capital from 10.6 million
shares to 12.15 million shares (from authorised capital), so
that earnings per share will increase from EUR 4.25 to EUR 4.28.

On February 12, 2008, MPC Capital AG expressed its intention to make
a public tender offer to the shareholders of HCI Capital AG at a
price of EUR 14.22, which has been confirmed by the Federal
Banking Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The company will make full
use of the opportunities arising in this context - which will
depend on the percentage of shareholders accepting the offer - to
the benefit of both companies. The acquisition of further shares in
HCI Capital AG as part of the offer, which is expected to be settled
by early May, may have additional effects on the results of MPC
Capital AG.

Expectations of the Management Board "In 2007, MPC Capital was once
again able to initiate attractive projects, make inroads into new
markets and target groups and raise more than EUR 1 billion from
our customers. It is the sum total of the right decisions which
determines whether overriding objectives are met and milestones for
the future are set through innovations. We closed the year with
good results in accordance with our plans. We should highlight
the increase in recurring sales as a percentage of total sales to
12% as well as the continued high dividend payout ratio of 92%,
which allows us to propose a dividend of EUR 3.50," said Dr.
Axel Schroeder, CEO of MPC Capital AG.

"MPC Capital will again set standards in our industry in 2008. New
innovative product ideas will be available to our distribution
partners and investors, and high-profile transactions such as an
order for container ships with an investment volume of EUR 1.6
billion will strengthen the product pipeline and increase the
company's visibility. Not least will the increased investment in
HCI Capital AG open up the opportunity to realise new ideas and
projects on a greater scale and in a spirit of partnership and
competition to the benefit of both companies and their
shareholders. This will be an eventful and successful fiscal year
for MPC Capital," Dr. Axel Schroeder added.
