PRESS RELEASE

Prime Office sells the 'SZ-Tower' and strengthens its equity ratio

- Headquarters of publishing company Süddeutscher Verlag ('SZ-Tower') in Munich sold for 164.1 million Euro

- Sale strengthens equity and reduces leverage sustainably

Munich, 21 November 2013. Prime Office REIT-AG ('Prime Office') has sold the headquarters of publishing company Süddeutscher Verlag - the so called 'SZ-Tower' - in Munich to an international investment consortium for 164.1 million Euro.

The contract, which was notarised on 20 November 2013, provides for the closing of the transaction by the end of December 2013. The disposal significantly improves the equity ratio of Prime Office from 39.8% as at 30 September 2013 to almost 50% while at the same time sustainably reducing its leverage. The disposal marks a key milestone for the company in the financial year 2013. In the second half of 2013, Prime Office had announced the finalisation of key contracts: one with Daimler AG for a lease in the property in Stuttgart/Möhringen, which is now fully rented, and one on the disposal of 'BMW's design centre' in Munich.

'With the sale of the 'SZ-Tower' we meet a material criterion of the business combination agreement with OCM German Real Estate Holding AG and take a further scheduled step towards the merger. At the same time, we clearly reach our target of increasing the equity ratio of Prime Office above 45% and comply insofar with the legally specified REIT equity ratio by the end of 2013', says Alexander von Cramm, member of the executive board of Prime Office REIT-AG.

All of the other conditions which have to be fulfilled in the run-up of the merger by Prime Office and OCM German Real Estate Holding AG are in the process of being implemented. The process is far advanced and the merger is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2014.

Effective 30 September 2013, the book value of the state of the art property 'SZ-Tower' with a rental area of around 62,200 square metres, was 165 million Euro.
