ANICCA AG HAS APPOINTED THOMASLLOYD CAPITAL LLC AS FINANCIAL ADVISOR

Berlin- based Anicca AG has appointed ThomasLloyd Group as Financial
Advisor to help with the financing of their growth strategy.

Anicca AG is set to create ground-breaking standards in the
construction and use of photovoltaic modules in the next few years.
The company intends to establish a module factory for worldwide
production in the solar-innovation-region of Brandenburg.

The business model of Anicca AG is based on the industrial production
of high-quality solar modules. In the first stage of development
modules are being manufactured with an output of 30 MW, and
production is constantly optimised according to a special process
measuring technique. In the next stage the plan is to increase
capacity to 60 MW.

An experienced management team has already initiated the development
of business growth and is currently setting up successful
co-operation and participation partnerships.

Established strategic partnerships in Germany and France already
ensure Anicca AG the sale of 1.5 times first year annual production
volume, and this does not factor in the prospect of further expected
large solar park projects. In addition Anicca AG can benefit from the
existing infrastructure and regional networks of partners, who have
extensive experience with the implementation of wind park plants.

According to the International Energy Agency, the world-wide share of
renewable energies with regard to the total energy-mix will be 16% by
the year 2020. In 2008 alone, the growth was 6%.
The share of solar energy (photovoltaic) within renewable energies
will reach approximately 51% by the year 2030. In the year 2008, the
share was already 24%.

Tony Coveney, Executive Director of ThomasLloyd Group PLC states "we
are looking forward to working with the management team of Anicca AG.
The company has excellent growth potential and has seized the
opportunity to benefit from the production of high-quality solar
modules that are "Made in Germany"."

ThomasLloyd Capital LLC is the Investment Banking business of
ThomasLloyd Group plc.
