Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:

'The re-positioning of TIG Themis Industries Group towards European direct
investments in the field of turnaround and restructuring was successfully
implemented since the approved expansion of the business purpose of the
company in September 2008. The past four months were used to dispose
approximately half of the previous fund-of-funds portfolio with only little
discounts in secondary market transactions. This enables the company to
focus on the upcoming good investing opportunities. In the course of the
optimization of our cost structure we have decided to change the listing
segment from the regulated market/ Prime Standard into the entry standard
which will clearly reduce cost. The expected savings potential lies in the
six-figure sum and therefore directly benefits the shareholders of the
company', stated Christoph D. Kauter, CEO of TIG Themis Industries Group
GmbH & Co. KGaA.
