HELMA Eigenheimbau AG reports 10th consecutive new order intake record: 2016 new order intake up 6.5 % to EUR 286.8 million - Seite 2

the past years' significant growth, by contrast. The new order intake of
HELMA Wohnungsbau GmbH in 2016 increased by around 9 % from EUR 138.6
million to EUR 150.8 million. Due to focusing on the metropolitan regions
of Berlin/Brandenburg, Hamburg, Hannover and Munich, as well as Leipzig
since the start of the year, the residential property offerings of HELMA
Wohnungsbau GmbH have enjoyed consistently high demand for many years. Such
demand particularly reflects the continued securing of attractive land
plots as well as the marked growth of major cities, which recent studies
suggest will continue in the future. The highest rate of new order intake
growth in 2016 was achieved by HELMA Ferienimmobilien GmbH, where new order
intake was up from EUR 19.6 million to EUR 37.0 million. This represents a
growth rate of around 89 %, especially reflecting very good order intake
figures at the Baltic Sea resort project in Olpenitz.

Planned switch to Deutsche Börse's new SME listing segment:
Deutsche Börse will launch a new market listing segment prospectively on
March 1, 2017 with the aim of further improving access to investors and
growth capital for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs, in German:
KMUs). The Management Board of HELMA Eigenheimbau AG has passed a
resolution to implement a switch to this new market segment ("KMU
Segment"), which is to replace the Entry Standard, on its start date.
