• Previous CFO taking over sales and marketing
• Management Board to be increased to four members in the medium term

Hamburg. Spurred by the Company’s ongoing and successful expansion, the
Management Board and Supervisory Board of Lloyd Fonds AG have decided to
install a separate COO Sales and Marketing position on the Management
Board. Dr. Marcus Simon, hitherto CFO at Lloyd Fonds AG, has taken on this
task with immediate effect.

This decision reflects the fact that Lloyd Fonds AG is making great strides
in diversifying its range of fund products and broadening its retailing
reach. Explains Dr. Torsten Teichert, CEO of Lloyd Fonds AG: 'By making
this decision, we want to send out a signal to the growing number of retail
partners which we have in Germany and Austria. We have found in Dr. Simon
an extraordinarily qualified expert for these important activities. Since
joining Lloyd Fonds AG, Dr. Simon has shown impressively that an
outstanding CFO can also master other functions within an enterprise.'

After graduating with a degree in chemistry, Dr. Simon worked for Marsh
GmbH in Stuttgart for several years as a sales and marketing manager before
switching to Munich-based financial services provider cash.life in spring
2001. As CFO he made a crucial contribution to that company’s expansion and
was also actively involved in the establishment of its retailing system. In
June 2006, Dr. Simon joined Lloyd Fonds AG as CFO with additional
responsibility for personnel and secondary market activities.

Says Dr. Marcus Simon: 'I am looking forward to the new challenge and am
sure that the experience that I have gained to date will come in useful in
extending retailing operations and achieving a substantial increase in
placement figures.'

Dr. Torsten Teichert, who has so far also been responsible for sales and
marketing, will be additionally in charge of finance and controlling on an
interim basis. Holger Schmitz is retaining the position of COO Products and
Design.
