Berlin, 27. October 2006. Marseille-Kliniken AG, (Prime Standard,
ISIN DE 0007783003, MKA) will continue its shareholder-friendly

supervisory board will propose the resolution of a dividend
distribution of EUR 0.45 per share at the shareholder meeting slated

The dividend of EUR 0.45 per dividend-eligible share includes a

and leaseback transactions contracted in FY 2005/2006.

the total amount of dividends to be distributed is reduced by EUR 3.3
million to EUR 2.2 million. The Marseille is foregoing its share in
