Zörbig/Leipzig, 27 October 2010 - The Supervisory Board of VERBIO
Vereinigte BioEnergie AG - ISIN DE000A0JL9W6 - appointed Bernd Sauter (41)
as new member of the Management Board responsible for purchasing and
logistics effective 1 November 2010. Since the acquisition of the majority
of shares in Märka GmbH, a purchasing and logistics company operating in
the agricultural sector, these activities are set to become more
strategically important within the VERBIO-group.

The Supervisory Board approved the request of the Chief Technology Officer
and co-founder of VERBIO, Dr Georg Pollert (62), to leave the Management
Board of VERBIO when his current term of office ends in May 2011. Effective
19 May 2010, the Supervisory Board has appointed the following to succeed
Dr Georg Pollert for a period of three years on the Management Board:
Theodor Niesmann (42) for the Biodiesel segment and Dr Oliver Lüdtke (45)
for the Bioethanol/Biogas segment.

The contract with Claus Sauter, CEO of VERBIO AG, which also expires in May
2011, is to be extended by five years.

The Management Board and Supervisory Board will recommend to the 2011
Annual General Meeting that Dr Georg Pollert be elected to the Supervisory
Board. As a result of his successful activities and excellent expertise in
the areas of plant construction and research and development, Dr Georg
Pollert will continue to contribute his extensive understanding and
detailed knowledge in these areas while providing recommendations for
action with respect to the activities of VERBIO.
