    to WCM's portfolio. The transfer of ownership is expected to be completed
    by the end of the fourth quarter, leading to a portfolio net yield 6.3%.
    The weighted average remaining lease term (WALT) over the total portfolio
    is at 9.4 years as of end of November 2015.

    Strong Asset Management and Leasing Activities

    new leases of 3,912 sqm, as well as lease extensions of around 14,530 sqm
    for the office properties in Berlin, Dusseldorf and Bonn. The low vacancy
    rate of 6.2% reflects the high attractiveness of WCM's real estate
    portfolio.

    Attractive Financing Structure

    The rental income is complemented by attractive financing conditions. The
    current portfolio is financed with an average interest rate of 2.2% and a
    loan maturity of 7.5 years. By 31 December 2015 the pro forma average
    interest rate for the entire portfolio is expected to stand at 2.1% with a
    loan maturity of 6.1 years. The third quarter's loan to value (LTV) equals
    39.6%. The pro forma LTV for WCM's entire portfolio is expected to stand at
    60.5%. At the end of the third quarter 2015, WCM has c. 29 million Euro in
    cash reserves.

    2016 Outlook

    Given the strong growth of the portfolio, WCM AG will announce annualized
    rental income and FFO on a quarterly basis going forward.

    Based on the total contractually secured and closed portfolio, the
    annualized rental income amounts to 31.6 million Euro.

    WCM AG's funds from operations (FFO I), the result of operating activities,
    are expected to equal c. 20.2 million Euro or 0.18 Euro per share in 2016.
