As part of the multi-stage strategy programme launched on January 7, 2009, the
Management Board of Hamburg-based MPC Münchmeyer Petersen Capital AG
(ISIN DE 0005187603) today decided, with the consent of the Supervisory Board,
to increase the company´s share capital in two steps from EUR 12,146,418 to
EUR 18,212,918 by way of a capital issue out of authorised capital.

The Management Board expects the capital increase to strengthen the equity base
by approx. EUR 48.5 million to a total of EUR 121 million. At the same time, MPC
Capital has obtained important and comprehensive commitments from its financing
partners with regard to existing and new agreements and terms.
In a first step, a total of 1,214,418 new no-par bearer shares will be issued ex
rights at a price of EUR 8 per share to the company´s main shareholder, Corsair
III Investments (Luxembourg) s.á.r.l., out of authorised capital.

In a second step, 4,851,859 new no-par bearer shares will be offered to the
company´s shareholders for subscription at a ratio of 50:19. The new shares will
be taken over by UniCredit (Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG), which is
obliged to offer them to the company´s shareholders for subscription. The
subscription price is EUR 8 per new share. The subscription period will begin on
January 23 and end on February 5, 2009. The subscription rights will not be
traded at the stock exchange.

Shareholders MPC Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH and Corsair III Investments
(Luxembourg) s.á.r.l. have formally agreed to backstop the capital increase,
which means that they will exert their subscription rights in full and acquire
any new shares not subscribed by the eligible shareholders to the extent that
their shareholdings do not exceed 29.9% after the capital increase.

Oldehaver Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, another shareholder of the company, has
also formally agreed to backstop the capital increase and exert its subscription
rights under the capital increase in full and acquire any new shares not
subscribed by the eligible shareholders to the extent that these shares have not
been acquired by Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH and/or Corsair III Investments
(Luxembourg) s.á.r.l.

The new shares from the capital increase are expected to be included in the
pricing of the company´s shares in the regulated market of the stock exchanges
in Frankfurt am Main and Hamburg by mid-2009.
