On 16 June 2010, round 1,100 shareholders attended the third Annual General
Meeting of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) since its stock exchange
debut in 2007, held at CCH Congress Center Hamburg. This number represents
78.2 percent of the ordinary share capital (previous year: 79.6 percent).

In the course of his address, Klaus-Dieter Peters, Chairman of the HHLA
Executive Board, stated that: 'During a far-reaching economic crisis, HHLA
maintained its position. The Group generated a base for continued dividend
payments, it secured jobs, paid taxes and invested. HHLA possesses a
successful business model geared to the long-term. Along with our strong
earnings power and our solid balance sheet structure, this constitutes a
good foundation for our further development.'

The Annual General Meeting approved all proposals from the Supervisory and
Executive Boards by majorities of over 95 percent. The AGM accordingly
approved the proposal for the distribution of a results-related dividend of
0.40 Euros per 'A share' of the subgroup Port Logistics, amounting to just
under 28 million Euros (previous year: 70.0 million Euros). A distribution
of 1.00 Euro per share is being made for the non-listed 'S shares' of the
subgroup Real Estate, amounting to around 2.7 million Euros.
  
The results of the voting at the Annual General Meeting, the speech by
Klaus-Dieter Peters, Chairman of the Executive Board, and the corresponding
presentation will be published in German only ('Hauptversammlung') under
Investor Relations on HHLA's website.
