---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In view of the recent significant deterioration in economic conditions in
Russia, the Executive Board of IMMOFINANZ AG has commissioned CBRE, the
newly appointed appraiser for the CEE portfolio, to prepare a special
appraisal of IMMOFINANZ's Russian properties as of 31 January 2016.
The first indications from the appraiser's valuation lead to expectations
of a foreign exchange-adjusted write-down of approx. EUR 400 million to
the five Moscow retail properties in the third quarter of 2015/16. The
carrying amount of these five properties totalled approx. EUR 1.57 billion
as of 31 October 2015.
The outlook for IMMOFINANZ's distribution policy for the 2015/16 financial
year and the 2016 abbreviated financial year, which was announced on 2
February 2016, remains unchanged.
The final results of the special appraisal and results for the first three
quarters of 2015/16 will be announced as planned on 16 March 2016 after the
close of trading.
