Berlin, 5 March 2010. Marseille-Kliniken AG (Prime Standard, ISIN DE 0007783003,
MKA) is announcing: Axel Hölzer is stepping down from his post as the company´s
Chairman of the Management Board with immediate effect. This is due to the fact
that Mr. Hölzer is suffering from a serious illness, which will require longer
treatment. Mr. Hölzer today asked the Supervisory Board to relieve him from his
duties, which the Supervisory Board complied with. Mr. Hölzer also resigned from
all other board roles connected to Marseille-Kliniken Group. As a consequence of
this unexpected development, the Supervisory Board has appointed the
company-founder and current Chairman of the Supervisory Board Ulrich Marseille
to the Management Board for a period of six months in line with Section 105,
Paragraph 2 of the German Stock Corporation Act. Ulrich Marseille will be
assuming a coordinating role on the Management Board. Uwe Bergheim, member of
the Supervisory Board of Marseille-Kliniken AG, will be the acting Chairman of
the Supervisory Board for this period of time. These circumstances will not have
an impact on the development of Marseille-Kliniken AG´s revenues and
profitability.

Axel Hölzer has served Marseille-Kliniken AG since 1995 and held a variety of
positions in finance. In 1999, he was appointed to the Management Board,
initially responsible for associated companies, taking over as CFO in 2000. In
2002, he was appointed Chairman of the Management Board. His tenure was driven
by expanding the Care business as well as restructuring and preparing the sale
of the Rehabilitation facilities. The Supervisory Board appreciates Mr. Hölzer´s
decision and would like to thank him for the successful cooperation in the past
years and wishes him the best for his recovery and his personal future.
