DIC receives PLATOW Immobilien Award 2021 - jury honors "dynamic performance"

Frankfurt am Main, 18 November 2021. DIC Asset AG ("DIC"), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany's leading listed property companies, has just been declared the winner of this year's PLATOW Immobilien Award in the "commercial real estate" category.

The eulogy praised DIC Asset AG for its outstanding conduct over the past years and specifically when faced with the coronavirus pandemic. It also quoted the example of the company's CEO, Sonja Wärntges, who countered bleak predictions about the demise of the conventional office with the resolute rejoinder "Everybody is talking about home office but I, for one, am not." She was said to consider a new form of agile working, rather than working from home, the way forward. The eulogy went on to say that despite the persistent uncertainty among many office market observers, DIC Asset AG managed to develop its share price on the pre-COVID-level and to expand its real estate business significantly. This, the eulogy concluded, makes it reasonable to expect an exciting development ahead.

In her acceptance note, CEO Sonja Wärntges said: "It is not just the pandemic that has challenged us. Rather, we are generally facing a major societal transformation that has made many players nervous. Awareness of the shift motivates us even more as a company to provide reliability, stability and solidarity not only to our clients and business partners but also to our employees. This requires a strategic sense of direction, expertise and stamina. We at DIC Asset AG have continuously developed these strenghts in our teams over the past years, and have done very well with them. It is something I'm very proud of. Let me express my gratitude for this prestigious award, which commends all of my co-workers and employees."
