April 2008 POLIS Immobilien AG [ISIN: DE0006913304, WKN: 691330] has sold its office property at Torstrasse 15 in Stuttgart for approximately EUR 18.2 million and expects to generate a gain of EUR 1 million over the current book value of the property after fulfilling its obligations under the sales agreement. The specialist in upgrading and managing office real estate acquired the building in February 2007 and later concluded a long-term lease with Barmer Ersatzkasse, one of the largest statutory health care funds in Germany. POLIS will modernize the building, thus enabling the tenant to move in in 2009. POLIS had already reported one valuation gain on the property as of 31.12.2007. The commercial building (with its 6,300 square meter rental space) was placed by HIH Hamburgische Immobilien Handlung GmbH with a fund of Warburg-Henderson Kapitalanlagegesellschaft in connection with an asset management mandate. The private bank, Ellwanger & Geiger, served as an advisor to the buyer. 'We were able to prove once again that POLIS invests in the right properties and can create value through its letting operations and expertise in modernizing commercial buildings,' Dr. Alan Cadmus, Chief Executive Officer of POLIS Immobilien AG. 'This transaction is part of our moderate buy and sell strategy. By selling select properties from time to time, we capture the gains in valuation we have generated and produce earnings which can be paid as dividends to our shareholders.' The transaction will be reflected in the Companys financial statements for the 1st quarter 2008.
