Cologne, 11 June 2015 - DF Deutsche Forfait AG (Prime Standard, ISIN:

join the Board of the trade finance company with effect from 1 July 2015,

Mark West has long-standing and comprehensive experience in the trade

banks such as Noble Trade Finance Services and Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi
UFJ, before setting up his own business as a consultant. Mark West has a

Sales units together with Mark West; thereafter, she will continue to work
for the company under a consultancy agreement.
