Company Information/Volume of transactions in 2011

Subtitle: Year-on-year growth of 40.2 per cent; strongest year to
date for the B2B financial marketplace

Berlin (euro adhoc) - 16 January 2012: EUROPACE, the online B2B
financial marketplace, significantly expanded its volume of
transactions in 2011. Transactions worth an aggregate EUR21.17
billion were generated on this platform between January and December
of last year (2010: EUR15.1 billion), which represented a
year-on-year increase of 40.2 per cent.

This transaction volume in excess of EUR21 billion made 2011 the
strongest year to date for EUROPACE. Despite the Christmas holiday
period the fourth quarter of last year was also the most successful
in EUROPACE´s history, generating transactions worth around EUR6.3
billion. Previously, the volume of transactions generated on the
platform in the third quarter of 2011 had reached EUR6.2 billion,
topping the EUR6 billion mark for the first time.

Building finance products make valuable contribution to impressive
performance EUROPACE is steadily growing its market share of German
mortgage finance transactions. Thilo Wiegand, the chief executive
officer (CEO) of Europace AG, believes there are several reasons for
this trend. "The continual diversification of the product range
available on the EUROPACE platform is a key driver of this success.
Our strategic decision to scale up the offering of building finance
products on the platform has proved to be correct. These products now
account for a significant proportion of our total transaction volume.
In addition, yet more financial product distributors and suppliers
realised in 2011 that it is worthwhile using EUROPACE to sell
financial products." Together with its sister platforms - GENOPACE
for cooperative banks and FINMAS for savings banks - EUROPACE had
raised the number of its product distribution and supply partners to
165 by the end of 2011. Thilo Wiegand added: "The crisis around the
euro zone´s sovereign debt and currency boosted demand for real
estate as an investment last year. This further fuelled the
impressive growth in EUROPACE´s transaction volumes."
