Subtitle: Allianz has acquired two more wind farms from Nordex France

Hamburg, 23 November 2009. Nordex AG is
further improving its position as one of the leading project 
developers on the French market: Allianz Specialised Investments, 
part of the alternative asset investment activities of the Allianz 
Group, has purchased the wind farms "Barbes d´Or" (12.5 MW) and 
"Joyeuses" (10 MW), planned and erected by Nordex. The total projects
are equipped with Nordex N90/2500 turbines with 100 metre hub heights
and are located in central France near to Issoudun.

In April this year Allianz already acquired the 12.5 MW "Les Cent 
Jalois" wind farm (12.5 MW) in the region of Aisne in northern 
France. This marked the start of the collaboration between Allianz 
and Nordex France. "We are pleased about this partnership. Allianz 
has now decided three times in favour of our N90/2500 technology, 
which has proved such an allround success", said Carsten Pedersen, 
COO Sales and marketing at Nordex.

With 334 MW on grid, Nordex is one of the three largest project 
developers in France. Overall, today Nordex France has a portfolio of
1,000 MW in different stages of development.

David Jones, CEO of Allianz Specialised Investments, said: "We are 
pleased to have acquired these two wind farms from Nordex and thereby
increase our activities in France. We now have four operational wind 
farms in this key wind energy market. These latest investments also 
take our operational asset base in Europe to over 300 MW."
