Deutsche Wohnen AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous 24.10.2012 / 07:33 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Frankfurt (Main) / Berlin, October 24, 2012. Today, Deutsche Wohnen AG informed its shareholders of an extraordinary general meeting it has called for December 4, 2012 in Frankfurt (Main). The management board and the supervisory board intend to pro-actively create a new authorized capital at the extraordinary shareholders meeting. With the last two rights issues in November 2011 and June 2012, Deutsche Wohnen successfully achieved net proceeds of around EUR 620 million. Within one year, the proceeds have almost completely been invested in the Dusseldorf portfolio (1,160 units), the BauBeCon portfolio (more than 23,000 units), acquisitions in greater Berlin (around 1,500 units), and a further acquisition of about 5,100 units which has been notarized. Large volume portfolios and a number of smaller portfolios are currently on the market or will be in the near future. These present excellent acquisition opportunities for Deutsche Wohnen to expand and enhance the value of its portfolio. Deutsche Wohnen needs to obtain new authorized capital, in order to be fast and flexible in transaction processes. Michael Zahn: 'At the annual general meeting in June 2012, we explicitly announced our intentions to grow. We kept this promise and have created value for our investors which is also shown by the development of our share price. Given our positive market reputation, we are convinced to receive the necessary support from our investors in order to continue our growth story.'
