Supervisory Board resolves Executive Board composition at Deutsche Börse AG

* CEO Dr Reto Francioni appointed for further term
* Hauke Stars appointed Chief Information Officer
* Securities trading activities to be streamlined

The Supervisory Board of Deutsche Börse AG resolved changes to the
composition of the Executive Board in a meeting held today. CEO Dr Reto
Francioni (57) was reappointed, and will serve a further term of office
until 31 October 2016. He has been CEO of Deutsche Börse AG since 2005.

At the same meeting, Ms Hauke Stars (45) was appointed member of the
Executive Board. IT engineer Stars will assume responsibility for the IT
and Market Data & Analytics departments, along with selected external IT
services which are to be combined into a restructured area of
responsibility, with effect from 1 December 2012. Stars is to succeed Dr
Ing Michael Kuhn (58), whose contract will expire at the end of the year,
and who is leaving the company on good terms.

Frank Gerstenschläger (52), the Executive Board member responsible for
Deutsche Börse's cash market operations, has opted not to extend his
contract when it expires on 31 March 2013, and will be leaving the company
on good terms. Following Mr Gerstenschläger's departure, Deutsche Börse
plans to jointly manage the cash market and the derivatives businesses,
comprising the Xetra and Eurex segments, within the responsibility of
Deputy CEO Andreas Preuss (56), thereby reducing the number of Executive
Board members from six to five. Mr Preuss has already been responsible for
Deutsche Börse Group's entire derivatives business since 2006.

Deutsche Börse Group's Settlement and Custody area remains unchanged under
the leadership of Jeffrey Tessler, CEO of Clearstream; likewise Finance,
under CFO Gregor Pottmeyer.
