* Currently c. 30.4 % of Deutsche Wohnen shares have been tendered (on an
undiluted basis, including shares already held and shares from convertible
financial instruments)



Bochum, 10 February 2016 - Vonovia SE ("Vonovia") has likely not reached
the minimum acceptance level of its voluntary public takeover offer to
shareholders of Deutsche Wohnen AG ("Deutsche Wohnen"), assuming that there
are no material changes during the subsequent rebooking period because of
shares tendered shortly before the Deadline (Nachbuchungsfrist). Based on
the information available as of 12:00 noon CET on 10 February, Vonovia's
tender offer published on 1 December 2015 has been accepted for
approximately 30.4 % of all Deutsche Wohnen shares (on an undiluted basis,
including shares already held and shares from convertible financial
instruments).

A key condition for the completion of the takeover was that Vonovia reaches
the minimum acceptance threshold of 50 % of all Deutsche Wohnen shares, the
percentage necessary  to realise the full synergy potential.

Vonovia expects to publish the final acceptance level of the offer on 15
February 2016.



Important information:
The shares in Vonovia SE have not been nor will they be registered under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended and, subject to certain
exceptions, may not be offered or sold within the USA.
