The liquidity lines are to be made fully available by mid-November. To cover Hypo Real Estate Group's short-term liquidity requirements in the meantime, also against the background of recent market developments, the Group yesterday submitted an application to the Financial Markets Stabilisation Fund (Sonderfonds Finanzmarktstabilisierung 'SoFFin') for a guarantee with respect to a provision of EUR 15bln of liquidity by Deutsche Bundesbank. A decision is expected shortly. Furthermore, the Group will submit an application to SoFFin for additional comprehensive support, including potential capitalisation measures. The utilisation of the Fund is expected to cover the Group's additional funding requirements once the liquidity facilities extended by the consortium have been disbursed, thus providing the basis for the medium-term re-positioning of the Group.'
