CFO Lothar Lanz to Leave ProSiebenSat.1 Group/Search for successor initiated

Munich, January 10, 2008. Lothar Lanz, 59, the Executive Board member of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG for Finance, Legal Affairs & Human Resources, will be leaving the company soon. This was agreed upon today in mutual consent by the competent committee of the Supervisory Board and the CFO. Lothar Lanz has been a highly successful CFO and valued member of the leadership team at ProSiebenSat.1 for more than 11 years. His contract ends in June 2009 at a time when he will already have turned 60. The search for his successor has commenced and Lothar Lanz will remain with the company until his successor has been appointed, presumably in summer.

Said Götz Mäuser, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG and a Partner at Permira: For more than a decade Lothar Lanz has left his marks during one of the most dynamic periods of Germanys television history. Being a reliable partner to the financial community, he managed both an IPO and two of the biggest mergers within the German media sector. In his own calm way, Lanz thereby greatly contributed to the integration and development of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG over the years.

Clive Hollick, Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, and a Partner at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., said: "Lothar Lanz has been an outstanding CFO, a great colleague and has played a key role in the creation of ProSiebenSat.1 as a leading integrated broadcaster in Europe."

Lothar Lanz was a member of the managing board at HSB HYPO Service-Bank AG in Munich and at Nassauische Sparkasse in Wiesbaden before joining ProSieben in 1996 as CFO. He shepherded ProSieben Media AG through its IPO in 1997 - the first IPO of a TV corporation in Germany. Further highlights of his career were the merger of ProSieben Media AG with Sat.1 in 2000 and the takeover of SBS Broadcasting Group by ProSiebenSat.1 in mid 2007.
