TLG IMMOBILIEN AG launches capital increase by way of accelerated bookbuilding offering

- Approx. 7.4 m new shares to be placed with institutional investors, representing around 7.8% of the share capital

- Issue proceeds to be invested in recent real estate acquisitions as well as future acquisitions

Berlin, 9 November 2017 - Today, the management board of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG resolved, with the consent of the supervisory board, to increase the company's share capital by issuing up to approx. 7.4 m new shares against cash contributions while excluding subscription rights of existing shareholders. This represents an increase by around 7.8% of the current share capital, with the total share capital amounting to up to approximately EUR 102.0 m following the registration of the capital increase.

The new shares will be offered exclusively to institutional investors as part of a private placement by way of an accelerated bookbuilding offering. The bookbuilding process will begin on 9 November 2017 and is expected to end on 10 November 2017, subject to acceleration. The placement price will be determined by the management board after the conclusion of the accelerated bookbuilding offering and is expected to be announced on 10 November 2017.

It is expected that the new shares will be admitted to trading on 13 November 2017 and will be included in the existing quotation on the sub-segment of the regulated market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse) on 15 November 2017. The new shares will carry full dividend rights from 1 January 2017. Settlement/closing of the transaction is expected to take place on 15 November 2017. TLG IMMOBILIEN AG has agreed to a customary lock-up period of three months.

TLG IMMOBILIEN AG intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for recent and future acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. While it intends to maintain its target maximum Net LTV-Ratio of 45%, TLG IMMOBILIEN AG will also consider taking on additional debt financing and deploy the funds of such financing in the context of future acquisitions.

Commenting on the capital increase, Peter Finkbeiner, member of the management board of TLG IMMOBILIEN AG, said: 'We are fully focused on delivering on our communicated portfolio growth strategy. The capital increase will enable us to take advantage of the financially-accretive acquisition opportunities we are currently assessing and to bolster the company's growth further.'

Following the offering, TLG IMMOBILIEN AG may decide to take further measures to optimize its financing structure, including by potentially drawing on the debt capital markets through the issuance of an investment grade bond in the near term future.

Deutsche Bank and J.P. Morgan are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners for the private placement. VICTORIAPARTNERS is acting as independent financial advisor to TLG IMMOBILIEN AG.
