Hamburg, (06 March 2008)

HCI Capital AG - ISIN DE000A0D9Y97 an S-Dax listed, non-bank-affiliated
issuing house for closed-end funds and structured products generated group
net income (IFRS) of about EUR 30.6 Mio. in fiscal year 2007 (previous
fiscal year EUR 39.5 Mio.). HCI did not reach its target to generate EUR 35
Mio. group net income due to effects, inter alia, with impact on the tax
result, which have arisen in the course of preparing the annual report. The
adjusted result without these effects reflects the target income.

The managing board and the supervisory board of HCI Capital AG decided to
propose to the shareholders a reduced dividend of EUR 0.70 per share on the
annual general meeting (2006: EUR 1.40 per share). With the proposed
dividend reduction, HCI Capital AG intends to strengthen its group equity
capital base to match the framework conditions on the financial markets
that have significantly changed over the last months. In the course of this
development banks have increased their requirements to finance fund
projects.

As planned, HCI will release its annual report 2007 and present the
financial results on a press and analyst conference on 10 March 2008.
