According to Section 15 of the WpHG (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz; German Securities Trading Act), domestic issuers of financial instruments are obliged to immediately publish insider information that concerns them directly.
The purpose of the ad-hoc disclosure requirement is to ensure the same level of information of all market participants by rapidly and uniformly distributing information to the market so that no inappropriate stock exchange prices or market prices can develop as a result of erroneous or incomplete information of the market. The ad-hoc disclosure requirement therefore serves the interests of the entire investing public, ensures the proper functioning of the capital market, and creates equal opportunities by creating transparency.

Frankfurt/Main and Berlin, November 27, 2015 - Today, Deutsche Wohnen AG entered into an agreement for the acquisition of a real estate portfolio comprising approximately 13,600 residential units from PATRIZIA Immobilien AG.

In total, Deutsche Wohnen has acquired around 15,200 residential units since midyear. Around 5,600 of such residential units are located in Berlin and around 3,800 residential units are located in Kiel. The purchase price including transferred liabilities amounts to around EUR 1.2 billion and is financed by approximately 50% each through the banking market as well as existing liquid funds.

The transaction, based on the projected financing structure will presumably increase Deutsche Wohnen AG's annual FFO by approximately EUR 40 million after full integration.

Subject to customary sales conditions, such as antitrust clearance, the acquisition will be concluded in the coming months.
