Joint Ventures/Cooperation/Collaboration/New Products

Berlin, (euro adhoc) - 2 October 2009: Hypoport and on-geo have laid
the foundations for their future cooperation, aimed at integrating
the information provided by on-geo into the Europace platform.
The various partners on the Europace transaction platform will
therefore gain simplified access to the figures they need, for
example for real estate valuations.

Hypoport and on-geo intend to cooperate in future and have
established their joint subsidiary 'Hypoport on-geo GmbH' for this
purpose. The cooperation aims to make geoinformation available to
partners on Europace, the B2B platform for transacting financing
products. On-geo - a specialist provider of space- oriented
information - will link its LORA real estate software to Europace.

Linking the two systems will allow product providers on Europace to
gain direct and digitalised access to the very latest geodata and
property information for Germany. This will allow them to calculate
loan values for the respective real estate both reliably and fully
automatically. Moreover, the integration will reduce both
workloads and potential errors. Making this additional service
available to the product providers on the platform represents a
logical step towards an all-in-one solution. According to Thilo
Wiegand, member of the management board at Hypoport AG: "In light
of the growing complexity of the requirements facing the
financial services sector, in particular, systems that are easy to
use and offer comprehensive features are gaining in importance".
Wiegand points out that this is precisely the principle that has
been applied to simplifying processes through the cooperation
between the two companies - both technology leaders in their
respective market segments.

The sales organisations on Europace will also gain integrated access
to LORA as the next step. This will enable them to access
property-related information, such as excerpts from the land
register or cadastral maps, directly and without creating any
additional burden of work for their clients.

Dr. Klaus Wiegel, managing director of on-geo GmbH: "Process
optimisation is a crucial factor for efficiently structuring the
real estate valuations needed in the lending sector. This is one of
the aims of our cooperation with Hypoport AG."

About on-geo GmbH on-geo GmbH is the leading full-service provider
for real estate valuation based on its LORA real estate platform.
This platform supports all commonly used processes for valuing
real estate, property inspections and the provision of research
data for real estate valuation purposes. It can, moreover, provide
efficient order management for these processes, link
decentralised local processing agents and enable the digital
transmission of expert opinions. As an added service, research data
can be accessed online via the real estate platform.

To enable it to perform its designated function as a full-service
provider for real estate valuation, on-geo has entered into various
cooperation agreements, for example with ARGUS Software Inc., and
has established joint ventures, such as Schufa Real Estate Line or
Hypoport on-geo GmbH.

Comprehensive information on the company and its activities can be
found on the website of on-geo GmbH at www.on-geo.de.
