HAMBORNER REIT AG starts new year with additions to portfolio

Duisburg, 8 January 2018 - HAMBORNER REIT AG has had a successful start to the new year and is reporting the transfer of four properties. The retail centres in Passau, Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf were transferred to HAMBORNER's portfolio as the new year began.

Ownership of the "Neustift Center" in Passau was transferred to HAMBORNER on 22 December 2017. The retail centre was built in the Passau area of the same name, Neustift, last year, and was transferred to the main tenant REWE and other smaller tenants after it was completed in November 2017. The purchase price for the 4,300 m² property is EUR14.9 million. Annual rental income amounts to around EUR0.9 million.

Ownership of the retail centres in Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf were transferred to HAMBORNER on 2 January 2018. These are conveniently located, high-quality retail properties that benefit from a sound competitive situation and a large catchment area. The properties have been leased to EDEKA on a long-term contract, which operates them as modern E-Centers. At the Cologne site, the EDEKA supermarket is accompanied by ALDI, dm and Sparkasse Köln. With annual rental income of EUR2.34 million in total, the purchase price of the properties amounts to EUR43.7 million. Following the signing of the purchase agreements in October 2017, the conditions for transfer were quickly established so that the three properties will now contribute to rental income and FFO for the whole of 2018.
