Transfer of assets to FMS Wertmanagement

Dublin, 1 October 2010 - On Thursday, the governing bodies of Hypo Real
Estate Holding AG and its subsidiaries - including DEPFA BANK plc and its
subsidiaries - approved the transfer of assets to FMS Wertmanagement. With
the signing of the relevant contract documentation, the basis for the
transfer of assets to the amount of approximately EUR 200 billion has been
established. The Steering Committee of the German Financial Market
Stabilisation Agency had already approved the transfer on 22 September 2010
and the European Commission gave its provisional approval on 24 September
2010.

Of the transferred assets, approximately 75 percent are from the Depfa sub
group (and approximately 70 percent of these from DEPFA BANK plc) and
approximately 25 percent from Deutsche Pfandbriefbank and its subsidiaries.

Within the framework of the transfer of assets, FMSA has reserved the right
to stipulate a required payment in order to avoid distortion of
competition. With this, the FMSA can, for reasons of fair competition,
reduce the capitalisation of individual legal entities to the required
extent, if the core capital quota of the relevant legal entity is above 15
percent. This payment requirement can be up to a maximum of EUR 1.59
billion and cannot be determined before the year 2011.

Issued on behalf of DEPFA BANK plc in respect of its listed bonds.
