Grand City Properties S.A. - Announcement of resolution of Board of Directors to increase share capital

The Board of Directors of Grand City Properties S.A. (the 'Company') resolved today to increase the Company's share capital from EUR 8,842,500 by up to EUR 2,200,000 to up to EUR 11,042,500 through an issue of up to 22,000,000 new ordinary shares with a par value of EUR 0.10 each, against cash contributions ('New Shares'), by using part of the authorized capital of the Company.

The Company is in advanced process of signing several acquisitions of various under-performing property portfolios with a total volume of more than EUR250 million. The portfolios under consideration are consistent with the Company's business strategy, and the geographic distribution is with primary focus on North Rhine Westphalia and Berlin. The proceeds of the capital increase will be used to fund the Company's acquisition pipeline.
The issue price for the New Shares will be determined in an accelerated book building process which commences 2 December 2013 and is expected to close on 3 December 2013. The Board of Directors will fix the issue price and the final number of New Shares by separate resolution following the end of the accelerated book building process. The new shares will be issued without subscription rights. The New Shares are placed with institutional investors in selected 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 New Shares will be included in the existing stock exchange listings of the Company's shares on the Open Market (Entry Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and on the open markets (Freiverkehr) of the Berlin Stock Exchange and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange on or around 5 December 2013. The envisaged transaction will increase the Company's free float from currently 50.3% to up to 60.26 %. Berenberg will be acting as Sole Global Coordinator for the capital increase and, together with J.P. Morgan, as Joint Bookrunner.
