Directorate Changes Atrium also announces that, following approval
at a Board meeting on 24 November 2009, Neil Hasson and Noam
Ben-Ozer have been appointed as non- executive directors with
immediate effect, following the retirement from the Board of
Shanti Sen and Peter Baguley.

Neil Hasson, managing director and head of Europe for Citi Property
Investors ("CPI"), will be one of CPI´s appointed directors on the
Board. He replaces Shanti Sen who has stepped down from the Board
following her resignation from CPI to pursue other business
opportunities. Mr. Hasson joined CPI in February 2005 and is
responsible for a EUR1.2 billion pan European real estate fund. Prior
to joining CPI, he was a successful private real estate investor,
acquiring in excess of £250 million of commercial real estate in the
UK over a three year period. Previously, Mr. Hasson was a
founding partner of DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners, a $660
million real estate opportunity fund, managed by Donaldson,
Lufkin and Jenrette, where he worked for 10 years. From 1989, prior
to DLJ, he worked for Goldman, Sachs & Co. in London, Tokyo and New
York. He holds an MBA from The Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Cape Town.

Noam Ben-Ozer has been appointed to the Board as an independent
non-executive director in place of Peter Baguley who has stepped down
in order to ensure that Atrium´s Board retains a suitably
international representation overall that is consistent with the
applicable fiscal and regulatory considerations and
requirements relating to Directors´ residency.

Mr. Ben-Ozer is the founder and proprietor of Focal Advisory, a
strategic and finance-related advisory firm in Boston. He has
extensive experience in financial and business planning, fund
raising, deal structuring and project financing. He is also a
director of Equity One, a leading US real estate investment
trust. Mr. Ben-Ozer holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School.

Commenting, Rachel Lavine, Chief Executive Officer of Atrium
European Real Estate, said: "We are pleased with the financial
results of the Company and the progress we have achieved in the
first nine months of 2009.

"We believe the Exchange Transaction, which was announced in
September, to be an extremely positive step forward for Atrium, as
it follows our clearly stated strategy of reducing our debt, having
already acquired in EUR382.8 million of nominal value in 2009. It
is also in line with our commitment to improving both the efficiency
of our balance sheet and our corporate governance. This
transaction will simplify Atrium´s capital structure and
significantly decrease its borrowing costs. Together with the
completion of our Euronext Amsterdam listing, we are in a far more
stable state than when we took control and are now shifting focus
onto growth and the creation of value.

"Our strong cash position, low leverage, strong management team and
resilience of our asset class leave me feeling confident of the
future prospects of the Company.

Chaim Katzman, Chairman of Atrium, added: "On behalf of the Board, I
would also like to thank both Shanti and Peter for all their hard
work during their time at Atrium and to welcome our new
directors, Neil and Noam, to the Company."
