PRESS RELEASE Hamburg (12 July 2016) - TAG Immobilien AG successfully concludes the offer for early conversion of its convertible bond 2012/2019 with an acceptance quota of 94% / Announcement of clean-up call for remaining outstanding convertible bonds / Further strengthening of capital and financing structure of TAG by means of early conversion offer, which has been successfully conducted in Germany for the first time Today, TAG Immobilien AG ("TAG" or the "Company") successfully concluded the early conversion offer (the "Transaction") for all 5.50% outstanding convertible bonds maturing in June 2019 with a total nominal value of EUR 74.5 million (ISIN DE000A1PGZM3, the "Convertible Bond"). Until the end of the offer period on 12 July 2016 16:00 CEST, bond holders accepted the early conversion offer for bonds with a nominal value of EUR 70.1 million. This corresponds to an acceptance quota of 94%. Bond holders who accepted the offer will receive the underlying number of shares from the conditional capital according to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bond plus a cash payment to compensate for any remaining interest payments or the difference of the value of the underlying shares compared to the market value of the Convertible Bond at the time of the announcement of the offer on 30 June 2016 (plus an incentive premium) at an amount of 12.75% of the nominal value of the Convertible Bond. Based on the acceptance quota of 94% the total cash payment amounts to EUR 8.9 million. The Transaction will be settled on 18 July 2016.

The Company plans to call these remaining bonds according to the terms and condition of the Convertible Bond ("Clean-up Call"). The Company will issue a separate announcement with respect to the Clean-up Call. The Transaction allows for a strengthening of the TAG capital structure even before the regular maturity date in June 2019 and thus fits into the management's long-term initiative to continuously optimize the capital structure of the Company. The Convertible Bond has traded in the money and hence the Transaction will not lead to an additional dilution for the shareholders of TAG. The Transaction will reduce the Company's loan-to-value (LTV) from 61.0% to approx. 59.3%, based on the financials in the IFRS interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2016 and early conversion including Clean-up Call.
