Birkenwerder, 25th November 2010. The Supervisory Board of
Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG has extended Hans Szymanski's board of
management contract early for a further three years up to 31st December
2014. At the same time, the Supervisory Board has appointed Herrn Szymanski
Spokesman of the Management Board with effect from 1st January 2011.
Szymanski has been a member of the Management Board of the FP Group since
December 2008, where he is responsible for finance, production, IT,
research and development, personnel and legal matters. He holds a degree in
economics.

Together with his Board colleague, Andreas Drechsler, he has played a major
role in developing the FP Group into a worldwide mail processing service
provider. Following a process of tough restructuring, the Company has now
returned to the profits zone. In the 3rd quarter of 2010, the Company
reported net consolidated income of 1.6 million euros and sales revenue of
39.8 million euros. Szymanski is currently working hard on the realignment
of production at the Birkenwerder site, where the next generation of
machines - the Phoenix series - is due to be produced in 2011.
