The successful completion of the Takeover Offer would create a real estate group with a commercial real estate portfolio totalling around EUR 1 bn. PUBLIC TAKEOVER OFFER BY DEMIRE DEUTSCHE MITTELSTAND REAL ESTATE AG FOR ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF FAIR VALUE REIT-AG DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG intends to offer the shareholders of Fair Value REIT-AG two (2) new no-par value bearer shares of DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG, each representing a pro rata amount of the registered share capital of EUR 1.00 each and a right to dividends as of 1 January 2015 (the "DEMIRE Shares") from the capital increase in kind (the "Capital Increase"), still to be resolved by the General Meeting, in exchange for one (1) Fair Value share tendered to DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG in the context of the Takeover Offer, subject to the final determination of a minimum offer price and the final terms in the offer document.

DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG's Takeover Offer will presumably be made subject to, inter alia, a minimum acceptance ratio of 50.1% of the outstanding Fair Value shares, the absence of material transactions, material adverse effects, or material compliance violations, as well as the registration of the implementation of the capital increase.

Insofar as legally permissible, DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG reserves the right to deviate in the final terms and conditions of the Takeover Offer from the basic information described herein.
