2 15 YEARS FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY EXPERTISE MEETS HUGE VARIETY Fixed point in the stock exchange year A perfect affair: For many years Invest, as a well-founded contact point and contact forum, has been asserting itself as number one for all topics concerning private and institutional investors. In 2014 the established trade fair takes place for the 15th time. A success factor of Invest is the ability to meet changing needs of visitors and exhibitors with new features - for example, the new hall concept and the focus on two intensive days last year received positive feedback.

6 OPINIONS TESTIMONIALS FOR INVEST 2013 KARIN GEIGER, DEPUTY DEPARTMENTAL DIRECTOR, GERMAN SAVINGS BANK ASSOCIATION/DEKA: The quality of Invest was improved by compressing the trade fair into two days. The number of visitors here in Stuttgart was also impressive; customers came specifically to our stand in order to obtain information on products and investment strategies. CLAUDIA BARGHOORN, DIRECTOR, HEAD OF THE MARKETING & COMMUNICATION DIVISION, CORTAL CONSORS: The new concept of a two-day event went down well. Invest is a very good opportunity to meet regular and prospective customers in person. Dirk Piethe, MANAGING DIRECTOR, flatex: Invest is an important financial market trade fair for our company. We were rather sceptical whether the event could fulfil our expectations this year. However, we were impressed by the large number of visitors. PASCAL NÖRRENBERG, HEAD OF LEVERAGE PRODUCTS, ING MARKETS: The first trade fair day was excellent and we achieved our objectives: We presented our brand and services in order to acquire new customers. Invest is the most important trade fair for the industry. We also attach great importance to this event. Willi Schöller, Managing Shareholder, Schöller Wind: Invest turned out to be very successful for our company. We had some interesting contacts both with existing customers and new customers. At present, visitors are especially interested in interest-optimised packages with regard to opportunity/risk sharing.

7 Frank Talmon l Armée, MANAGING DIRECTOR, Nord-Süd HAUSBAU: Marc Tüngler, MANAGING DIRECTOR, DSW: Invest is and will remain the leading trade fair for private investors. This was shown by the visitor numbers and the first-rate discussions which you can hold here. The asset category of real estate is currently still slightly under-represented at Invest. We exhibited here for the first time and were almost the only company from this sector. Attendance at Invest was therefore definitely worthwhile for our company. We obtained a very good response and were able to make a large number of contacts. Anouch Wilhelms, CERTIFICATES EXPERT, Commerzbank: We were extremely satisfied with this year s Invest. It was our impression that there were more visitors here than last year and that there was a greater need for information in the area of investment opportunities, primarily in shares. We believe this is due to the current pleasing developments on the share market. Dr. Max Schott, MANAGING DIRECTOR, Sand & Schott Vermögensverwaltung: We were slightly disappointed by the group of participants before the event; the financial crisis had probably left its mark. However, we were very positively surprised by the number of visitors. Invest still offers interesting guidance for private investors. Our talks and seminars were extremely well-attended. We also met a very large number of visitors at our stand. WOLFGANG WRZESNIOK-ROSSBACH, Managing Director, DEGUSSA GOLDHANDEL: Degussa was represented for the first time as an exhibitor at Invest. We can now see that the trade fair is very popular. It was definitely worthwhile for us to be here. 7

15 NETWORKING THE FLOOR ROCKS HERE Buddha lounge Trade fair with extended evening affair Take some of the momentum from the first trade fair day to an extended evening full of atmosphere. The Invest Night has long been one of the most coveted highlights of the trade fair. In a relaxed ambience go into more depth in the discussions conducted during the day, maintain existing contacts or meet new customers and colleagues. The route to a really special ambience leads down to the city, an area known by locals as Stuttgarter Kessel, or Stuttgart cauldron, socalled due to the location of Stuttgart between forest and vines. At the edge of the city centre the Buddha Lounge impresses with its stylish ambience, tasty snacks and refreshing drinks - you can even sit outside when the weather is good. 15
