Grand City Properties S.A. - Tap issue of Series C Bonds by EUR 100 million
Luxembourg / Berlin, 16 June 2014 - The Board of Directors of Grand City Properties S.A. ("Company") has resolved today to carry out a tap issue of the Company's EUR 150 million senior, secured convertible bonds convertible into new and/or existing ordinary shares having a par value of EUR 0.10 (the "Shares") of the Company ("Series C Bonds") by issuing additional Series C Bonds with a total nominal value of EUR 100 million ("Further Series C Bonds"). The total aggregate principal amount of the Series C Bonds will thereby increase to EUR 250 million. The Further Series C Bonds will be issued without subscription rights at an offer price to be determined by a bookbuilding process. Bookbuilding will start immediately and is expected to close with short notice.

The net proceeds will be used to fund the Company's acquisitions. The Company is in final process of signing and closing several acquisitions of various currently under-performing property portfolios with a total volume of more than EUR 250 million. The portfolios under consideration are consistent with the Company's business strategy.

Settlement is expected to take place on or around June 19, 2014. Inclusion of the Bonds to trading on the Open Market (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expected to take place on the same day.
The Further Series C Bonds will be placed only to institutional investors in selected European countries in reliance on Regulation S of the US Securities Act 1933, as amended, by way of a private placement. There will be no public offering. The Further Series C Bonds will be merged with the existing Series C Bonds and will form a single series under the existing ISIN XS1036325527.
