IMMOFINANZ has successfully completed the sale of its logistics portfolio
to Blackstone. Blackstone will integrate all the assets into Logicor, its
European logistics platform. The closing took place today, Monday, and
leads to net cash inflows (after the repayment of loans) of approx. EUR 305
million. Of this total, about EUR 245 million will be transferred
immediately. The remainder will be received by the end of October 2016
after the transfer of the three development projects, which will be
completed by IMMOFINANZ as planned.

The transaction is based on a total property value of approx. EUR 536
million, less outstanding construction costs of approx. EUR 28 million for
the three development projects. This reflects the value of the properties
as of 31 July 2015.

"With this sale, we have completed the reorientation of IMMOFINANZ to focus
exclusively on the retail and office commercial asset classes. The funds
generated by the sale will strengthen our balance sheet and will be
invested in the expansion of our high-quality office portfolio in Germany
by 2018", explained Oliver Schumy, CEO of IMMOFINANZ.

Blackstone acquired all 36 logistics standing investments with approx. one
million sqm of rentable space. The properties are located primarily in
Germany (24) as well as in Hungary (5), Romania (3), Poland (2), Slovakia
(1) and Russia (1). The transaction also included three development
projects in Hamburg (DE), Bucharest and Ploiesti (RO) and land reserves.
