Westgrund AG received financial commitment to replace bridge financing of
"Berlinovo"- Portfolio

  - Group interest rate decreases to below 3%

  - Almost 100% of owned properties are financed through German
    Landesbanken

Berlin, 27.11.2014 - Westgrund AG received the finanical commitment to
replace the bridge financing of the "Berlinovo"-Portfolio. The Landesbank
Baden-Württemberg ("LBBW"), one of the most renowned Landesbanken in
Germany, provided financial commitment for the "Berlinovo"-Portfolio. As a
consequence, the obtained bridge financing for the "Berlinovo"-Portfolio
will be replaced by a final long-term financing at the end of the year.

Details of this loan will be fixed during the next weeks, valuing the loan
presumably in December 2014. As expected, the interest rate will be around
2.5% with a maturity of c. 7 years. The average interest rate of
Westgrund's credit portfolio will decrease to considerably below 3%. The
bridge financing provided by Barclays will be paid back at the same time.

"We look very much forward to working with LBBW. As expected, we reached
the next step for a successful integration of the "Berlinovo"-Portfolio",
says Sascha Giest, CFO of Westgrund AG.

BF.direkt AG Berlin and Stuttgart were supporting Westgrund AG on the
structuring and coordination side.
