Business Update

Strong access to off-markets deals major competitive edge

Imminent acquisition of c. 3,750 residential units creates additional upside to future FFO PS

  • Transaction is currently close to signing (closing expected for Q4-2018)
  • Acquisition in LEG core markets allows for high synergies & scale effects with existing portfolio
  • Properties are mainly located in the Greater Ruhr area
  • Off-market deal due to strong network and reputation in the NRW market
  • No need to raise fresh equity due to strength of LEG balance sheet
  • Deal expected to be FFO per share accretive and NAV neutral
  • Due to initial investments full earnings impact is expected to become visible in FY-2020
  • FFO 2019: smaller positive effect
  • FFO 2020e: >€5m; assumption 100% debt financing

Accelerated asset sales for further portfolio optimisation planned for FY-2019

  • Potential volume: 1,000-2,000 units
  • Further streamlining of portfolio with expected positive impact on operating efficiency/margins
  • Proceeds earmarked for financing of future growth (capital recycling)

1) Employed by CBRE as indicator of an average rent value that could theoretically be achieved, not implying that an adjustment of the in-place rent to the market rent is feasible, as stringent legal and contractual restrictions regarding rent increases exist.

2) ≤5 years = 2019-2023; 6-10 years = 2024-2028; ≥10 years = 2029ff.

3) Rent upside is defined as the difference between LEG in-place rent as of H1-2018 and market rent (defined in footnote 1) as of FY-2017.
