companies/EUROPACE transaction volume

Berlin (euro adhoc) - Berlin, 20 January 2009: The business model
designed by Hypoport AG proves its worth, even in difficult market
conditions. In 2008, the EUROPACE B2B platform increases transaction
volumes by an impressive 18 percent. Mortgage financing accounts for
the lion's share of this volume. Private loans are, however,
witnessing a steady increase in volume, and more than doubled last
year.

Hypoport AG has continued its previous quarter's performance by again
increasing its transaction volume in the fourth quarter 2008 to a
level of currently EUR 3.828 billion. Year on year, this fourth
quarter result equates to an increase of 21.4 percent. Over the year
as a whole, financing deals amounting to EUR 14.622 billion were
processed using the EUROPACE platform, equivalent to an increase of
18.2 percent.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Kretschmar, Co-CEO of Hypoport AG, explains the
results as follows: "The year on year progress witnessed in the
sector of private client loans is particularly pleasing. For the
first time ever, these financing transactions exceeded the one
billion mark and recorded a sensational increase of 122 percent to
EUR 1.092 billion compared with the previous year". Private loans
moreover increased by 93.5 percent in the last quarter alone compared
with the fourth quarter 2007.

The quarterly result for mortgage financing improved yet again. Over
the last quarter, transactions amounting to a total value of EUR
3.532 billion were processed. This equates to a 17.7 percent increase
in volume compared with the last quarter 2007. Mortgage financing
recorded a total transaction volume of EUR 13.530 billion in 2008,
equivalent to a year on year increase of 13.9 percent. Compared with
the last two years as a whole, this actually equates to a total
increase of 51.9 percent.

In light of the current market conditions, in particular, this is a
very impressive development, both in terms of total volume and of the
individual sectors of mortgage financing and private loans. The
market as a whole in Germany is going to report a decline, whereas
the two pillars of financing transactions processed on EUROPACE are
reporting growth rates of double-digit and triple-digit percentages
respectively.
