Deutsche Wohnen AG / Key word(s): Capital Increase 26.06.2012 / 09:23 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Not for release, publication or distribution in or into the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan Frankfurt am Main / Berlin, June 26, 2012 - Deutsche Wohnen AG's cash capital increase from authorized capital resolved on June 11, 2012, for which the subscription period ended yesterday, has been completed successfully in a difficult market environment. The take-up quota for the offered new shares was 99.05%. The new shares not subscribed for as part of the subscription offer have entirely been placed with institutional investors in a private placement arranged by the Joint Bookrunners involved in the capital increase at EUR 12.30 per share. Following the registration of the implementation of the capital increase with the commercial register, which is expected to take place on June 27, 2012, the company's share capital will be increased from EUR 102,300,000 by EUR 43,842,858 to EUR 146,142,858 through the issue of 43,842,858 new no par value bearer shares, each with a notional value of the company's share capital of EUR 1.00. The new shares will carry full dividend rights from the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The new shares are expected to be included in the existing quotation for the company's listed bearer shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on June 28, 2012. The aggregate gross proceeds from the capital increase will amount to approximately EUR 461.1 million. Deutsche Wohnen intends to use approximately 75% of the net proceeds for financing the envisaged acquisition of the BauBeCon Group and the remainder for complementary acquisitions, in which Deutsche Wohnen is in advanced or promising negotiations, as well as for general corporate purposes. The successful capital increase, in particular the high take-up quota of 99.05%, highlights on the one hand the trust of the shareholders in Deutsche Wohnen and demonstrates on the other hand the high attractiveness of the asset class 'residential property'. Credit Suisse and UBS Investment Bank were acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners for the capital increase. Co-Lead Managers were DZ Bank, BayernLB, Kempen & Co and UniCredit Bank AG.
