In spite of the difficult market environment, the Frankfurt-based company
DIC Asset AG (WKN 509840/ ISIN DE0005098404) has turned over a total volume
of EUR 36 million with several selling transactions concerning the sale of
commercial real estate in Bavaria, Berlin and the Ruhr area. In each case,
last year's book and market values of the properties were exceeded.

The largest of the properties sold was the headquarter of Pfleiderer AG in
Neumarkt, Bavaria, which DIC acquired in 2005. The architecturally
attractive administration building (architect: Hadi Teherani) with 9,500
sqm office space was sold to a private investor.

In Berlin, five smaller office properties were sold to a private investor.
The properties are in locations such as the Teltower Damm, Mariendorfer
Damm and Golzstraße.

In addition, DIC Asset sold a major hypermarket in the greater Paderborn
area to an institutional investor.

For the majority, realisation of the relevant income can still be expected
in the fourth quarter of 2008. DIC Asset was advised in the Pfleiderer and
Paderborn transactions by the brokers Brockhoff & Partner in Essen, and in
the disposal in Berlin by the brokers Engel & Völkers.

CEO Ulrich Höller: 'These disposals put us on the finishing straight for
2008. They provide the proof that our sales strategy and our network are
effective even in an extremely difficult market environment and that
profits can be made.'
