The shareholders of CA Immo are offered an offer price of EUR 27.50 per CA Immo share on a cum dividend basis. That means that the offer price per CA Immo share will be reduced by the amount of any dividend declared per CA Immo share between the announcement of this takeover offer for CA Immo and settlement of this takeover offer for CA Immo, provided that settlement of this takeover offer for CA Immo occurs after the relevant record date for CA Immo.

The shareholders of Immofinanz are offered an offer price of EUR 2.10 per Immofinanz share on a cum dividend basis. That means that the offer price per Immofinanz share will be reduced by the amount of any dividend declared per Immofinanz share between the announcement of this takeover offer for Immofinanz and settlement of this takeover offer for Immofinanz, provided that settlement of this takeover offer for Immofinanz occurs after the relevant record date for Immofinanz.

The completion of the takeover offer for CA Immo will be subject to the following offer conditions:

(i) merger control clearance;

(ii) no material adverse change at CA Immo including but not limited to merger, spin-off or split; and

(iii) no consent by CA Immo management to transfer the four registered name shares.

Details on the contents and scope of the offer conditions will be set out in the offer document.

The completion of the takeover offer for Immofinanz will be subject to the following offer conditions:

(i) merger control clearance;

Details on the contents and scope of the offer conditions will be set out in the offer document.

Both takeover offers are independent from each other.

Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital Group, said, "Starwood Capital has a long track record of investing in and successfully growing public companies, and we believe that the substantial capital resources and experience we can contribute as a strategic shareholder of CA Immo and Immofinanz could provide significant value."

Keegan Viscius, a Vice President responsible for real estate investments across Europe, said, "We have a tremendous amount of respect for the achievements of the management teams at both CA Immo and Immofinanz, and are firmly supportive of both management teams through the next phase of growth."

The publication of both offer documents will take place in accordance with the legal provisions.

It is not the intention of the Bidder to completely take over CA Immo and Immofinanz with these takeover offers. Upon completion of both takeover offers, CA Immo and Immofinanz shall remain listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange (and relating to Immofinanz also on the Warsaw Stock Exchange).
