Joint Ventures/Cooperation/Collaboration

Berlin/Venlo (euro adhoc) - 30 August 2011: Payment protection
insurer Credit Life International N.V. and EUROPACE, the B2B
financial marketplace belonging to Hypoport AG, have established a
long-term partnership with effect from 1 August 2011. Their shared
objective is to offer Credit Life International payment protection
via EUROPACE. Both parties intend the alliance to strengthen and
expand their market presence over the long term.

As the first step towards the alliance, payment protection insurance
policies are now being integrated into EUROPACE's mortgage finance
products, after which they will also be available for personal loan
products. They will also be linked to EUROPACE 2, the new generation
EUROPACE platform. Credit Life International's insurance products
protect customers against default due to death, inability to work or
unemployment.

"Our partnership with Credit Life International is for the long term
and it will make it very easy for EUROPACE's affiliated distributors
to provide all customers with protection for their financial plans -
something that is increasingly in demand in the lending market,
particularly during turbulent times", commented Thilo Wiegand, a
member of Hypoport's Management Board. "Customers whose property
purchase, home modernisation, fitted kitchen or new car is being
financed via the EUROPACE platform will be able to find suitable
cover for their finance at reasonable premiums using Credit Life
International payment protection policies."

Andreas Schwarz, member of the Board of Managing Directors of Credit
Life International N.V. said: "The alliance with EUROPACE gives
Credit Life International access to new customer groups and it will
enable us to provide end customers with tailor-made payment
protection insurance. Our partnership with EUROPACE will help us
strengthen Credit Life International's position in the payment
protection insurance market over the long term."

Payment protection insurance will be fully integrated into the
financial marketplace's distribution processes. When finance is
arranged via EUROPACE, the customer's optimum insurance cover is
calculated automatically on request. Then it is possible to take out
the right payment protection for the loan directly from the insurer.
In the case of mortgage finance, forward loans can be covered in the
same way as renewals. The protection is taken out separately from the
loan as a stand-alone agreement with regular premium payments. No
medical check is needed for the insurance cover. End customers
receive an insurance certificate to take away from the meeting with
their financial adviser - and their payments are protected right from
the outset. The maximum instalment insured is EUR2,000 and the
maximum sum that can be covered is EUR150,000.
