TAG Immobilien AG today successfully placed EUR 262 million convertible bonds

Hamburg, August 23, 2017 - TAG Immobilien AG ("TAG" or the "Company") placed convertible bonds maturing in September 2022 with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 262 million, divided into 2,620 bonds with a nominal amount of EUR 100,000 each (the 'Bonds'). The Bonds are convertible into approximately 14.6 million new or existing TAG bearer shares with no par value (the "Ordinary Shares") or may be repaid in cash.

The Bonds have a term of five years and were placed at 100% of their principal amount and with a coupon of 0.625%. The initial conversion price amounts to EUR 17.9331, representing a conversion premium of 30% above the reference share price and a premium of 54% above the Company's EPRA NAV of EUR 11.65 at June 30, 2017. The Bonds have been placed solely to institutional investors in certain jurisdictions (other than the United States, Australia, Canada and Japan) via a private placement under exclusion of the shareholders' pre-emptive rights.

The settlement of the Bonds is expected to take place on or about September 1, 2017. TAG intends to apply for inclusion of the Bonds to trading on the Open Market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange subsequent to the settlement.

The Company has agreed to a lock-up period of 90 days after the settlement date which is subject to certain customary exceptions.

The Company will have the option to redeem the Bonds at their principal amount (plus accrued but unpaid interest) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds at any time (i) on or after September 1, 2020, if the price of the Ordinary Shares is equal to or exceeds 130% of the then prevailing conversion price over a specified period, or (ii) if 20% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds remains outstanding.

The net proceeds raised from the issue of the Bonds will be used for general corporate purposes including the refinancing of existing indebtedness of the Company.

'We are very pleased with the confidence given to us from the capital market with regard to the successful placement of the convertible bonds' says Martin Thiel, CFO of TAG Immobilien AG. 'Through this transaction, we can repay significantly higher interest-bearing liabilities and reduce our average cost of debt materially.'

Deutsche Bank acted as Sole Global Coordinator and together with Berenberg and Credit Suisse as Joint Bookrunner on this transaction. VICTORIAPARTNERS acted as Financial Advisor to TAG.
