    ATRIUM ANNOUNCES PROPOSED SCRIP DIVIDEND PROGRAMME AND
    INTENTION TO HOLD AN EGM
    Jersey, 29 May 2020. Atrium European Real Estate Limited (VSE/Euronext: ATRS),
    ("Atrium" or the "Company"), a leading owner, operator and redeveloper of
    shopping centres and retail real estate in Central Europe, announces the
    introduction of a voluntary Scrip Dividend Programme. The programme will be
    subject to the required shareholder approval being obtained at an extraordinary
    general meeting (the "EGM").

    Atrium is encouraged by the ongoing easing of government restrictions on trading
    in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia where c.80% of the Company's gross
    lettable area is now open. Atrium maintains strong liquidity, with a cash
    balance of EUR326 million including drawn down credit facilities and low
    leverage of 34.5%. Given the ongoing uncertainty as a result of the pandemic and
    its impact on trading, the Company believes that the implementation of a Scrip
    Dividend Programme is a prudent initiative which provides additional flexibility
    to address the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Scrip Dividend Programme

    * The Board has resolved, subject to the required shareholder approval being
    obtained, to offer shareholders (the "Shareholders") the option to receive
    each of the Q2, Q3 and Q4 2020 dividend distributions either in cash ("Cash
    Dividend") or in newly issued shares at a 2% discount to the reference share
    price ("Scrip Dividend") via a Scrip Dividend Programme (the "Programme"). The
    Company's dividend policy continues to be subject to quarterly review.
    * The quarterly dividend distribution for Q2 of 2020 is maintained at EURcents
    6.75 per share.
    * Unless a Shareholder informs the Company that it elects to receive the Scrip
    Dividend, the Cash Dividend will be distributed.
    * Both the Cash Dividend and Scrip Dividend shall be deemed a repayment of
    capital.


    Extraordinary General Meeting
    Atrium furthermore announces today that it will hold the EGM in order to obtain
    the required shareholder approval at 09:00 a.m. (UK time) on Monday, 15 June
    2020 at the offices of Aztec Financial Services (Jersey) Limited at 11-15 Seaton
