DEMIRE acquires commercial real estate portfolio containing approximately
144,000 m² of rental space

  - Net rent, excluding utilities (actual): roughly EUR 14.8 million 

  - All locations have long-term rental contracts with Deutsche Telekom

  - Secured, long-term debt structure with high redemption

Frankfurt/Main, 01 July 2015 - With the consent of the Supervisory Board,
the Executive Board of DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG
("DEMIRE", ISIN DE000A0XFSF0) concluded a purchase agreement on 30 June
2015 to acquire a 94 percent interest in Germavest Real Estate S.á.r.l. In
the cities of Ansbach, Bonn, Flensburg, Freiburg, Regensburg and
Stahnsdorf, Germavest Real Estate S.á.r.l. has a commercial real estate
portfolio containing 143,788 m² of rental space as well as 1,171
underground and free-standing parking spaces. All of the 6 locations have
long-term rental contracts with Deutsche Telekom AG. The net annual rent,
excluding utilities and based on the properties' current full occupancy,
amounts to roughly EUR 14.8 million and will rise periodically based on a
contractually agreed fixed annual indexation. The largest property with
approximately 38,000 m² has a rental agreement spanning 10 years.

With the acquisition of Germavest Real Estate S.á.r.l., a long-term
financing structure should be taken over whose interest rate leads to a
reduction in DEMIRE's average interest rate. The financing will be repaid
by means of accelerated payments, which will lead to a sustainable increase
in DEMIRE's equity.  Based on the portfolio's favourable return ratios,
DEMIRE expects an additional contribution to be made to the positive cash
flow of the entire Group portfolio.

The acquisition of the 6 properties enlarges the commercial real estate
portfolio in the context of the growth strategy of the Frankfurt-based real
estate group to now over 750,000 m² of space with annual rental income of
roughly EUR 47.6 million.

Further details of the transaction have not been disclosed. 

The transaction is still subject to the existing financing being assumed by
DEMIRE.
