Duisburg, 18 July 2012 - HAMBORNER REIT AG has successfully completed its capital increase, increasing its share capital by one third. A total of 11,373,333 new bearer shares were issued with full dividend rights from
1 January 2012 at a subscription price of EUR6.50 per new share. The new total number of shares issued now amounts to 45,493,333.
During the subscription period, approximately 85% of the subscription rights of the existing shares were exercised by the holders of these rights, with 9,674,674 new shares being subscribed to as a result. The remaining new shares were placed with institutional investors by the banking syndicate by way of a private placement. The company has now an authorised capital of EUR5.69 million left.
The net issue proceeds for HAMBORNER REIT AG amount to approximately EUR71.5 million. The company intends to use these funds to step up its growth. Properties in the large-area retail, office and high-street segments are to remain the main focal points here.

'We are currently looking at four properties for which we could sign contracts in the next few months. As ever, our priorities are attractive locations, a high occupancy rate and long-term contracts with tenants with a good credit rating', said management board member Hans Richard Schmitz. 'We are pleased that our shareholders have shown so much confidence in us once again, enabling us to use the current favourable financing situation for future growth. Overall, this rights issue was very well-timed for HAMBORNER.' 'With these issue proceeds and favourable borrowing opportunities, we can make investments of around EUR150 million, helping us to further increase rental income and FFO whilst continuing to pay attractive dividends', explained Dr Rüdiger Mrotzek.

Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG acted as Sole Global Coordinator and together with Kempen & Co N.V. as Joint Bookrunner in this transaction.
