PRESS RELEASE

Deutsche Annington increases its portfolio by more than 5,000 apartments

Bochum, September 2, 2014 - The Deutsche Annington Immobilien Group ("Deutsche Annington") has announced the purchase of more than 5,000 apartments and around 210 commercial units focusing on Berlin. The portfolio, which will be acquired from CitCor Residential Group (CitCor), a joint venture of Citigroup Property Investors and CORPUS SIREO, is spread across a number of cities including Berlin, Dresden, Jena, Leipzig and Erfurt.* The total portfolio encompasses living and usable space of more than 344,000 square metres.

'The purchase of the new units represents another step in our growth strategy to generate value from our existing portfolio and to develop new, high-quality portfolios with the acquisition', said Rolf Buch, CEO of Deutsche Annington.

The purchase meets the acquisition criteria published by Deutsche Annington and has a positive effect on both FFO and NAV per share and maintains our BBB rating from Standard & Poor's.

'The new apartments are located in growth areas in Germany with attractive markets. In addition, we are raising our countrywide presence as Germany's largest apartment company with the acquisition of the new apartments in metropolitan areas of the new federal states. The housing package fits our existing portfolio well and can be optimally integrated into our efficient and price-conscious management platform. With an average price per square metre of EUR 5.52, the net rents fulfil our claim of ensuring affordable housing even in metropolitan areas', explained Klaus Freiberg, Member of the Management Board of Deutsche Annington.

The transaction was signed on 29 August. The purchase is subject to certain conditions. Closing is expected at the end of the year and the integration should be completed by early 2015.
