(GAGFAH) hereby gives notice that a change of control (Change of Control) pursuant to the terms and conditions (the Terms and Conditions) of the 1.50% convertible bonds due 20 May 2019 (ISIN: DE000A1ZJD18, WKN: A1ZJD1) issued by it (the Convertible Bonds) has occurred upon expiration of 21 January 2015.

The adjusted conversion price within the meaning of § 11(c) of the Terms and Conditions is EUR 12.3057. GAGFAH points out that one or more Change of Controls within the meaning of the Terms and Conditions may occur until the Effective Date. In such event, no further adjustments to the conversion price will be made. On 26 January 2015, Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE announced that its voluntary public takeover offer has been accepted for a total of 183,997,924 shares of GAGFAH. This corresponds to approximately 85.20 % of the currently issued share capital and currently existing voting rights of GAGFAH. Thereby, an Acceptance Event pursuant to § 11 (f) of the Terms and Conditions has occurred. Due to occurrence of the Change of Control, the holders of the Convertible Bonds (the Bondholders) may either demand the early redemption of their Convertible Bonds or exercise their conversion rights on the basis of the adjusted conversion price. In order to demand the early redemption of their Convertible Bonds, Bondholders must declare some or all of their Convertible Bonds due by giving not less than 10 calendar days' notice prior to 9 March 2015, as set forth in the Terms and Conditions. In this event, the Convertible Bonds of Bondholders, who have validly declared their Convertible Bonds due, will be redeemed at their principal amount plus accrued interest on 9 March 2015. In our notice dated 19 December 2014, we informed Bondholders who intended to alternatively exercise their conversion right on the basis of the adjusted conversion price that such Bondholders had to send a conversion notice specified to be a conditional conversion notice via their respective custodian to the principal conversion agent (Citibank, N.A., Citigroup Centre, Global Transaction Banking, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB, England) and to deliver the relevant Convertible Bonds to the principal conversion agent by no later than 21 January 2015, 4 p.m. (Central European Time) in order to exercise their conversion right. GAGFAH does not intend to exercise the cash alternative election set forth in the Terms and Conditions. According to the Terms and Conditions, the settlement shares must be credited to the Bondholders no later than on the 15th business day following the conversion date. GAGFAH intends to deliver the settlement shares as soon as possible after valid exercise of the conversion right in order to enable the Bondholders to accept the Takeover Offer within the Additional Acceptance Period. However, GAGFAH assumes no warranty or liability for the delivery of the settlement shares within the Additional Acceptance Period. Fractions of settlement shares will not be compensated in cash. The settlement shares will be issued out of GAGFAH's authorised capital.
