Mobimo plans to acquire a majority interest in Dual Real Estate Investment
SA
* Mobimo signs a purchase agreement with the major shareholder under which
it will acquire some 73% of the shares in Dual Real Estate Investment SA
* Mobimo is establishing itself in Geneva and expanding its position in
French-speaking Switzerland
Lucerne, 6 October 2015 - Mobimo Holding AG ("Mobimo") signed an agreement
with Dual Holding SA, Fribourg, under which it is acquiring its majority
interest of some 73% in Dual Real Estate Investment SA ("Dual"). With this
acquisition, Mobimo is entering into the Geneva real estate market and thus
continuing to expand its position in French-speaking Switzerland.

Entry into the Geneva real estate market
Dual invests successfully in residential property and in mixed-use
properties in the low and medium rental brackets in the Canton of Geneva.
82% of its rental income comes from residential use, and its properties
have an estimated fair value of CHF 244 million. Dual's strategy focuses on
residential property with good scope for rent increases and on the
long-term preservation, management and continuous maintenance of the
properties that it lets. The Geneva real estate market features a very low
new-build rate relative to the demand for new apartments, which results in
a consistently high need for residential property. Dual is listed on the
Bern eXchange.

Expansion of activities in French-speaking Switzerland
Mobimo has successfully established itself in French-speaking Switzerland
since its merger with LO Holding Lausanne-Ouchy S.A. in 2009. The
acquisition of this shareholding adds 29 new properties in Geneva to its
portfolio.

Purchase will be funded from cash resources
The purchase price will be slightly around CHF 65 million. The closing of
the purchase agreement and definitive fixing of the purchase price will
depend on certain regulatory conditions. The acquisition is being financed
from cash holdings. Even after the purchase of the shareholding, Mobimo's
equity ratio will remain above the strategic minimum threshold of 40%.
