Bundeskartellamt clears plans of Deutsche Annington to combine with GAGFAH

Bochum / 28 January 2015 - The German merger control authority
("Bundeskartellamt") has cleared plans of Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE
("Deutsche Annington") to combine with GAGFAH S.A. ("GAGFAH") without
conditions and obligations. The combination of Deutsche Annington and
GAGFAH will create a company with a portfolio comprising around 350,000
residential units. With a total portfolio value of around EUR 21bn, it will
be the second largest listed real estate company in continental Europe.

By receiving the approval of the Bundeskartellamt, Deutsche Annington has
fulfilled another condition for combining with GAGFAH, after the minimum
acceptance level of the voluntary public takeover offer had already been
reached. Deutsche Annington expects the formal closing in the first quarter
of 2015.
