stock market/Listing

Berlin, 30/10/2007 (euro adhoc) - Shares in the financial services
group Hypoport AG commenced trading for the first time yesterday on
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The listing of 6,043,610 shares took
place in the Prime Standard segment, the highest level of
transparency of the Frankfurt Bourse, with the first listing quoted
at E15.25. Prof. Dr. Thomas Kretschmar, Hypoport founder and Co-CEO,
commented: "We are delighted with this first step along the path
toward opening up our group to the capital markets. Our intention
with the stock market listing is to widen the current shareholder
base and convince other potential investors about our story." The
Hypoport management board at the start of October took the decision
to apply for a stock market listing without a public offering of
shares. "Our aim is to use the current opportunity to establish
ourselves on the public market and to drive our operating growth even
further," added Hypoport Co-CEO Ronald Slabke.

Hypoport is an internet-based financial services provider
encompassing two parts: marketing and distribution of financial
services products, and B2B electronic financial marketplaces. Within
the group's financial services arm, the subsidiary Dr. Klein provides
independent financial advisory via the internet and, if desired,
through telephone or face-to-face consultancy. The product offering
stretches from real estate financing via insurance products, through
to provision of bank accounts. In its B2B financial marketplaces
component, Hypoport has, with EUROPACE, established an online
proprietary financial marketplace in Germany, on which numerous banks
and financial service product suppliers are networked into several
thousand financial intermediaries and distributors. "The integration
of the two areas within one group and the synergies that result from
this make Hypoport into a financial services provider of a new kind,"
Kretschmar adds.

Hypoport generated turnover of E19.02 million in the first half of
the current year, representing a rise of 92.1% against the same
period in 2006 (full year 2006: E26.29 million). Profit before
interest and taxes in first half 2007 climbed still more strongly to
E3.25 million, reversing a fractional loss in first half 2006 (full
year 2006: E4.62 million) and generating the best result in the
group's history.

The stock market listing took place on the basis of a securities
memorandum approved by the German financial regulator BaFin. This is
available for download in German and English in the investors
relations section of the Hypoport AG internet site. Members of
Hypoport's management and supervisory boards, and their relatives,
own 64.29% of the total issued equity capital of the group. A further
senior shareholder is the German Post Office's Postbank subsidiary,
holding 9.93%. The remaining 25.78% of the stock is owned by small
shareholders. Revenia GmbH, the holding company headed by Hypoport
Co-CEO Ronald Slabke, the Kretschmar Family Trust chaired by Hypoport
Co-CEO Prof. Dr. Thomas Kretschmar, and Postbank, all intend to
remain long-term investors in the company subsequent to the stock
market listing. They have made a mandatory undertaking for a period
of 12 months after first stock listing not to offer for sale, without
the prior consent of the accompanying consortium banks, any Hypoport
shares or financial instruments based on them. Landesbank
Baden-Württemberg has been mandated to execute designated sponsoring

will be traded under the number ISIN DE0005493365, the securities
registration number (WKN) 549336, and the stock market code HYQ.
