Eindhoven, January 12, 2009 - Catalis SE, worldwide provider of outsourcing
services for the digital media industry, is pleased to announce that it
has, with today’s effect, appointed Jeremy Lewis as an executive Member of
the Board of Directors. Mr. Lewis will focus on operations, strategy and
corporate development including the execution of the group restructuring
program which was announced last week. Mr. Nordhoff, previously the sole
executive director, will focus on finance, M&A and investor relations.

Prior to joining Catalis, Mr. Lewis was a partner in Canis Capital
Management, a secondary direct investment company. Before joining Canis
Capital, he was the Vice Chairman and CEO of Terraplay Systems AB, a
Swedish mobile software company spun out of Ericsson AB. He led Terraplay
through the development of its award-winning product to launch and
deployment in numerous mobile network operators world-wide.

Previously he held a variety of senior board positions in the software
industry particularly at Eidos plc, a leading international computer games
company. Eidos develops and publishes entertainment software for the PC,
PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo Wii and handheld markets with such well known
titles as Tomb Raider, Commandos, Deus Ex and Championship Manager.

Dr. Jens Bodenkamp, Chairman of Catalis said 'We are very pleased to have
been able to recruit Jeremy to our team. His considerable experience and
understanding of the digital media space will be invaluable as we continue
to develop the group'.

Mr. Lewis said 'In my view, the global entertainment and media industry is
the most dynamic, vibrant and stimulating in the world. I am delighted to
be joining the team at Catalis, a vital player operating at the heart of
this industry, at this most exciting of times and I look forward to driving
the business to new heights in the future'.

Catalis also announces that, in order to strengthen its capital base ahead
of uncertain times and to fund the planned restructuring, it will increase
its existing capital of EUR 2,689,077.50, consisting of 26,890,775 shares
with a nominal value of EUR 0.10 each by up to EUR 896,359.20 or up to
8,963,592 shares. Shares will be issued with preemptive rights for existing
shareholders allowing existing shareholders to subscribe for one new share
in Catalis for each three existing shares in Catalis held. No preemptive
rights trading will take place.

The issue price per share will be EUR 0.15 reflecting funds raised of up to
approx. EUR 1.3 million. Any shares which are not subscribed for by
existing shareholders will be offered to institutional investors as part of
a private placement. Further details regarding the capital increase will be
announced in due course. In addition to the capital increase, a payout of
maximum 2.4 million shares to the Kuju Management, in line with the Kuju
acquisition, will take place in the first quarter of 2009.
