• Swabian bank acquires 9.5% interest in VIB
• VIB Vermögen AG's free float totals 76.0%
• Healthy mix in shareholder structure - broad free float and long-term
  investors

Neuburg/Danube, November 4, 2009 - VIB Vermögen AG, a company specializing
in managing commercial real estate, has been able to acquire an additional
major shareholder - Kreissparkasse Biberach. The Swabian bank, which has
total assets of around EUR 6.3 billion, recently bought an interest of 9.5%
of voting rights. After Raiffeisen-Volksbank Neuburg/Danube (9.7%),
Kreissparkasse Biberach is thus already the second long-term investor of
VIB Vermögen AG from the field of regional banks. In addition, the
management (2.0%) and the Supervisory Board (2.8%) hold significant
interests in the company. The remaining 76.0% of shares are in free float.
This figure continues to be above average in a peer group comparison.

Ludwig Schlosser, VIB Vermögen AG's CEO, is very pleased about the new
major shareholder: 'We regard Kreissparkasse Biberach's equity interest as
further proof that our operating successes are increasingly being
recognized by the capital market. Our solid, judicious financing structure
meant that we have been able to steer our way through the financial crisis
practically unscathed.' His colleague in the Managing Board, Peter Schropp,
who is responsible for real estate, emphasizes the company's healthy
shareholder structure: 'We have an excellent mix of a high free float and
long-term investors. As a result we combine stable ownership with high
liquidity for our shares.'
