SoFFin grants EUR 20 billion framework guarantee to Hypo Real Estate Group 

The German Financial Markets Stabilisation Fund ('SoFFin') has granted a
EUR 20 billion framework guarantee to Hypo Real Estate Group, to strengthen
the Group's liquidity.

Hypo Real Estate Bank AG, part of Hypo Real Estate Group, can use the
guarantees to be issued by SoFFin to collateralise debt securities to be
issued, which must be due for repayment by 15 January 2009 at the latest.
Hypo Real Estate Bank AG will pay to SoFFin a pro-rata commitment
commission of 0.1% of the undrawn portion of the frame work guarantee. The
fee for guarantees drawn will be 1.5% p.a..

The agreed framework guarantee is a result of the ongoing negotiations of
Hypo Real Estate Group with SoFFin regarding longer-term and comprehensive
liquidity and capital support measures for the Group.
