Frankfurt/Main and Berlin, 27 September 2017. Deutsche Wohnen SE ("Deutsche Wohnen") announces that the reference share price in relation to the new convertible bonds and the convertible bond tender offer has been set at EUR 36.3186 (being the arithmetic average of the daily VWAPs [volume weighted average prices] of the Deutsche Wohnen share on XETRA on September 26 and September 27, 2017).

The initial conversion price of the new convertible bonds due January 2026 amounts to EUR 50.8460.

The New Convertible Bonds are initially convertible into approximately 15,73 million new or existing ordinary no par value bearer shares of Deutsche Wohnen or can be repaid in cash.
