• Shareholders' Meeting Resolves Dividend of € 0.15 per share
• Shareholders' Meeting Authorises Acquisition of Own Shares
• Prof. Dr. Michael J. A. Hoffmann Elected to Supervisory Board

Birkenwerder, 18th June 2008. At today's Shareholders' Meeting of Francotyp-Postalia Holding AG, a worldwide service provider for the outgoing mail market, shareholders authorised the Company's first ever dividend payout of € 0.15 per share. That corresponds to a dividend sum of 2.1 million euros, and a dividend yield of 3.9% based on the share price of 17th June 2008. The dividend will be paid out from 19th June 2008 onwards.

For the first time since taking office on 1st January 2008, the present CEO, Dr. Heinz-Dieter Sluma, had an opportunity to present his strategy to shareholders at the Shareholders' Meeting in Berlin. "We intend to develop the FP Group into an integrated full-service supplier for the outgoing mail market", explained Dr. Sluma. "With a worldwide market share of over 9% for franking machines, the FP Group has ideal conditions with which to extend its value added chain in the outgoing mail market by offering innovative solutions. Today, we can provide corporate customers of any size with tailored mailstream services."

Dr. Slima sees current business developments and prospects in the service sector very positively. "However, in the classic Mailroom business sector we must further improve profitability. We are tackling this with a restructuring program entitled MOVE, with which we intend to optimise processes and save around 3 to 5 million euros in the next year," concluded Dr. Sluma.

At the Shareholders' Meeting, the CEO confirmed the forecast made at the end of February 2008 for the full financial year 2008. The Company expects sales to reach between 150 to 160 million euros, with an EBITDA result of between 22 to 26 million euros.
