++ Michael Hallacker joins the Board of Management of Altira AG as the
member responsible for 'Sales and Sales Support'

++ Hallacker will continue to hold his position as Chairman of the Board
of Management of the Altira subsidiary VCH Investment Group AG

A new member has joined the Board of Management of Altira AG. Michael
Hallacker (48) was appointed to the Board of Management, effectively
immediately.

Altira’s decision to appoint Mr. Hallacker adds a highly regarded and
experienced manager from the investment fund industry to the previous three
members of the Board of Management. His professional career began in 1987
at DIT Deutsche Investment Trust in Frankfurt. In 1994, Mr. Hallacker moved
to a position as of head of fund management at ADIG – Allgemeine Deutsche
Investmentgesellschaft mbH. In 1998, he became Managing Director of Deka
Deutsche Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH, followed by the same position in
Deka Investment, the new company formed from the merger of the special and
mutual funds businesses. Michael Hallacker has been Chairman of the Board
of Management of the Altira subsidiary VCH Investment Group AG since 2005.

Michael Hallacker will join the Board of Management as the member
responsible for sales and sales support. One of his main objectives is to
integrate the separate sales organisations currently existing in Altira
AG’s subsidiaries to significantly strengthen Altira AG’s selling power. A
significant expansion of the sales team is also planned for this purpose.
Michael Hallacker will continue to hold his parallel position as the head
of VCH Investment Group.

Michael Hallacker is looking forward to his new responsibilities: 'Many of
the financial products of Altira subsidiaries, such as VCH Expert Natural
Resources or Themis Equity Partners, have developed very successfully in
recent years, and have built up an impressive track record. We can now use
this as a basis for significantly expanding existing customer groups and
winning new investors.'
