'In the name of the Supervisory Board, I wish to express my heartfelt
thanks to Markus Gunter for his highly successful work on the Management
Board of DAB bank. By means of the bank's program for the future, 'DAB
one,' he positioned DAB bank as the best bank for investors, traders and
asset managers and laid the groundwork for further successes as one of the
leading direct banks in Germany. We wish him all the best, both in his
career and in his private life,' said Dr. Theodor Weimer, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of DAB bank AG. 'We are pleased to have someone like
Ernst Huber, who is intimately familiar with the DAB bank Group and with
the business of direct banking, as our new Management Board Speaker. He
will continue on the successful course we have taken and further extend the
market position of DAB bank in Germany, with the support of Dr. Josef
Zellner, who will continue to manage the B2B Division directly, also as a
member of the Management Board, and so continue to make a crucial
contribution to the success of DAB bank.'
In their meetings of today's date, the Management Board and Supervisory
Board of DAB bank AG agreed to pursue the goal of legally merging

of the Austrian market leader in the online brokerage sector, in
cooperation with Jürgen Kühnel, who is also on the Management Board.
Effective August 1, 2012, Ernst Huber will be appointed to the Supervisory
Board of direktanlage.at AG, where he will take the place of Alessandro
Foti, who will resign from the Supervisory Board effective July 31, 2012.
