Frankfurt/Main, 31. August 2016 - DEMIREDeutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG's ('DEMIRE', ISINDE000A0XFSF0) cash capital increase announced in an ad hoc information release on 11 August 2016 was fully placed with primarily institutional investors, as anticipated, in the context of a private placement. The offer was several times oversubscribed. The cash capital increase was recorded in the commercial register on 31 August 2016 and raised DEMIRE's share capital by EUR4,930,722.00. DEMIRE's share capital currently amounts to a total of EUR54,242,444.00 and includes the issue of subscription shares during the year that resulted from the exercise of conversion rights.

Of the net proceeds of EUR17 million less cost from the cash capital increase, a sum of EUR10 million will be used to fully repay the outstanding amount of the high-interest HFSbond and will lead to immediate interest savings of a further EUR2.0 million annually. DEMIREintends to use the remaining net proceeds to finance real estate purchases and strengthen its financial position.

With the HFSbond's full repayment the weighted interest rate of the DEMIREGroup's financial debt will sink from 5.1 % p.a. to roughly 4.4 % p.a. This will place the weighted interest rate within the planned corridor of 4.0 % to 4.5 % p.a., which is targeted for the end of 2016.

As a result of the cash capital increase, the net financial debt ratio fell from more than 66 % of the real estate holdings to roughly 64 %, bringing it closer to the planned year-end target rate of 60 %.
The publication of the Company's Half-Year 2016 Financial Report is scheduled for 6 September 2016 and will be made available on the Company's website at www.demire.ag under the Investor Relations section (http://www.demire.ag/en/investor-relations/reports-results/2016).
