Ad-hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG

WCM reports on the first quarter of 2015

- Accelerated portfolio build-up

- Positive earnings - large portion of transaction costs already
recognised in first quarter

- Continued strong growth planned for the full year

Frankfurt, 21 May 2015 - WCM Beteiligungs- und Grundbesitz-AG (WCM AG,
ISIN: DE000A1X3X33) today announced figures for the first quarter of 2015,
which reflect the build-up of the Company's portfolio. WCM AG recognised
investment property totalling EUR 86.0 million as at 31 March 2015, up from
EUR 17.3 million at the close of 2014. This was due mainly to the fact that
the acquisition of three commercial properties that were announced back in
late 2014 was finalised in the second half of March. Naturally, the
transactions of WCM AG initiated in April have not yet been included in the
figures. Total assets increased from EUR 43.9 million as at 31 December
2014 to EUR 94.1 million as at 31 March 2015. The Group's equity rose by
approximately EUR 5.1 million to EUR 36.9 million.

Revenue in the first quarter of 2015 amounted to EUR 0.7 million and
includes initial rental income. In this context, it has to be noted that
revenue from rental income for the full quarter was limited to just one
commercial property. The three properties for which WCM AG did not assume
ownership until the second half of March contributed to revenue for only
two weeks. No revenue was generated in the first quarter of 2014. WCM AG
reports a consolidated profit of EUR 0.4 million for the first quarter of
2015; this compares to a loss of EUR 0.3 million in the first quarter of
2014. This figure already includes transactions costs of EUR 2.9 million
that were recognised as one-off charges.

WCM AG plans to continue on its dynamic growth trajectory during the course
of the year
