Bochum, 19.06.2013 - Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE ('Deutsche Annington'), Germany's largest privately held residential real estate company in terms of portfolio value and number of units owned, and the selling shareholder Monterey Holding I S.à r.l. ('Monterey'), together with the syndicate banks, have determined additional details of the planned initial public offering ('IPO') of the Company. The price range has been set between EUR 18 to EUR 21 per share. The offer period is expected to start on 20 June 2013 and is expected to end on 2 July 2013. The listing of the shares on the Prime Standard of the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is planned for 3 July 2013.

The offering consists of public offerings in Germany and Luxembourg and private placements in other jurisdictions. Deutsche Annington is offering up to 22.2 million newly issued shares with no par value from a capital increase. Expected gross proceeds of a minimum of EUR 400 million will be used primarily to repay debts. Furthermore, the selling shareholder will offer 27.4 million existing registered shares with no par value. In addition, up to 7.4 million registered shares with no par value are being offered in connection with a potential over-allotment (greenshoe option).

At the mid-point of the price range, the offer corresponds to a placement volume of EUR 1.1 billion and a market capitalization of EUR 4.3 billion assuming full exercise of the greenshoe option. The prospectus relating to the IPO has been filed with the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority ('BaFin') today. After approval by BaFin which is expected in the course of the day, the prospectus will be made available on the website of Deutsche Annington. The final pricing will be set and announced at the end of the book building process.

Shares carry full dividend rights for the financial year 2013. Provided that the Group's business performance remains stable, Deutsche Annington aims to distribute an annual dividend of around 70% of FFO 1. For the fiscal year 2014 onwards this represents around 4.0% of the then current EPRA NAV. For the fiscal year 2013 the dividend yield is expected to be lower, however in line with German residential peers.

'As Germany's largest residential property company with a nationwide portfolio Deutsche Annington is an attractive investment for investors looking to benefit from the stability and strength of the German residential real estate market. Sustainable growth, steady cash flows and dividend payments distinguish this industry', said Rolf Buch, CEO of Deutsche Annington. 'Deutsche Annington follows a clear strategy focused on three pillars: constant improvement in efficient property management, an investment program of more than 800 million Euros in energy-related modernizations and senior living as well as a flexible and diversified financing structure. With this strategy we are creating sustainable value and offer an attractive investment proposition to investors. Thanks to our investment grade rating, which is unique in the sector, we will be able to profit from more flexible financing forms in the future.'
