Atrium European Real Estate (VSX: ATR), one of the leading real 
estate companies focused on shopping centre investment, management 
and development in Central and Eastern Europe, announces that it has 
further strengthened its senior management team with the appointment 
Dominique Beghin as Chief Development Officer.  This follows the 
announcement on 3 September, 2008 of Dr Nils Hakert as Chief 
Operating Officer.
Dominique, age 53, has over 25 years experience in property 
development and investment and joins Atrium from Morgan Stanley 
Properties where, since August 2007, he was an executive director 
with responsibility for European retail investment and sat on the 
boards of a number of subsidiary companies.
Prior to Morgan Stanley, Dominique spent 12 years at Klépierre, the 
listed real estate subsidiary of BNP Paribas and the largest real 
estate owner in France, as a member of the Executive Committee and 
Deputy Director General of SEGECE (a subsidiary of Klépierre).  
During this time, Dominique held responsibility for the acquisition 
and development of shopping centres throughout both Western and 
Eastern Europe. Before Klépierre, Dominique held positions at Eiffage
Real Estate and the London & Edinburgh Trust (Italy).  Dominique has 
a degree in engineering from Ecole Supérieure du Bâtiment, de 
l´Industrie et des Travaux Publics         (National School of 
Building, Industry, and Public Works) in Paris, France.
As Chief Development Officer, Dominique will be responsible for the 
ongoing assessment and execution of Atrium´s development pipeline.
Commenting on the appointments, Rachel Lavine, chief executive 
officer at Atrium, said:  "Dominique has a long and impressive track 
record in real estate development across Europe, especially in the 
retail sector and we welcome him to the Company. He is ideally suited
to head up the evaluation and delivery of the Company´s development 
pipeline, which is crucial to Atrium´s ability to grow and deliver 
value. I am very pleased Dominique will be joining our team and 
believe he would be an asset to Atrium for many years to come.  It 
remains a key priority of mine to make further senior appointments 
and I look forward to adding to the team additional high quality, 
experienced professionals such as Dominique, in due course."
Dominique Beghin, Chief Development Officer, said: "Atrium has a very
robust and unique, but at the same time, challenging development 
pipeline which I believe offers a great deal of potential.  I look 
forward to working with Rachel and her team to carry out a thorough 
assessment of all the developments and to see where and how the 
maximum value can be created.  I am very excited to be joining Atrium
at this transitional time period and am eager to start working."
