Citycon continues to implement its strategy by divesting a portfolio of non-core
properties. Citycon has today sold five properties comprising 46,800 sq.m. and
located across Finland to a Finnish investment fund, eQ Finnish Real Estate, for
a total value of approximately EUR 74 million. The sales price is above the IFRS
fair value for the properties.

“These divestments are part of Citycon’s strategy to recycle capital and focus
on urban, grocery-anchored shopping centres in the Nordics and Baltics,” says
Nils Styf, Chief Investment Officer at Citycon.

The portfolio consists of the following assets: Sinikalliontie 1 Koy (Espoo),
Kontulan Asemakeskus Koy (Helsinki), Lentolan Perusyhtiö Oy (Kangasala),
Lillinkulma Koy (Kaarina) and Länsi-Keskus Koy (Espoo).

Adjustment to the Direct Operating profit outlook

According to the outlook announced by Citycon on 28 April 2016, the company
forecasted that its Direct Operating profit will in 2016 increase by EUR 20-34
million compared to the previous year based on the existing property portfolio.
Due to the divestment of the non-core portfolio, Citycon has today adjusted the
outlook and forecasts that its Direct Operating profit will change by EUR 16-30
million from the previous year. The EPRA Earnings and EPRA Earnings per share
(basic) guidance remains unchanged.
