GAGFAH GROUP Refinances EUR 176 Million GBH Loan with HSH Nordbank

- Two loan tranches of EUR 134 million and EUR 42 million reflect the
portfolio strategy for the underlying assets

- Weighted average maturity of the new loan is six years

- Weighted average interest rate is 3.05%, about 130 basis points lower
than for the previous loan

Luxembourg, April 23, 2014 - GAGFAH GROUP successfully refinanced the GBH
portfolio with more than 4,400 residential units mostly located in Southern
Germany in the city of Heidenheim with HSH Nordbank. The previous loan was
fully repaid on its final maturity date.

The new loan from HSH Nordbank comprises two tranches, reflecting the
strategy for the underlying portfolio. The first tranche of EUR 134 million
for the core portfolio has a seven-year maturity while the second tranche
with EUR 42 million is mostly secured by a sales portfolio and has a
three-year maturity.

With a weighted average of around six years, the maturity rate has been
significantly extended compared to the previous loan, and on the basis of
the current hedging strategy and the current Euribor rate the weighted
average interest rate of the new loan is 3.05%, about 130 basis points
lower than for the previous loan. In addition, GAGFAH was able to save
one-off refinancing fees of ca. 1% that would have been incurred if GAGFAH
had executed the two-year extension option with the previous lender.

Gerald Klinck, CFO of GAGFAH GROUP commented, "Securing stable and
long-term financing for the GBH portfolio is another important step for us
in our continuous efforts to improve our capital structure and maturity
profile. We are very happy to have reached another financing agreement with
HSH Nordbank. We have already worked with them in the past, and we
appreciate their reliability and professionalism."
