LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

We are delighted to present the report on the first nine months of the 2016 financial year today. HAMBORN-ER REIT AG has continued the good business performance of the first half of the year and systematically kept on pursuing its growth targets in the third quarter. Income from rents and leases increased by 18.7% yearon-year to €45.3 million in the first nine months of this financial year. Our key control figure, FFO, was €26.5 million as at the end of the third quarter, 20.9% above the previous year's figure.

After the transfers of ownership in the first half of this year of the Haerder Center in Lübeck and the DIY store in Ditzingen acquired in 2015, we have laid the foundation for further portfolio growth in the past third quarter of the year. In July, HAMBORNER signed the purchase agreement for an office property in Kiel, which will be built at an attractive and established office location in the city centre in the coming months. In addition, the purchase agreement for another building under construction in Hanau was signed at the beginning of September. The "Rondo Steinheim" retail centre is currently being built in a well-known commercial area in the Hanau district of Steinheim and is characterised by good connections and unique architecture. Ownership of the two new buildings with a total investment volume of €58.4 million is expected to be transferred to HAMBORNER's portfolio in mid-2017.

In addition to investing in these two new build projects, our company acquired two existing properties in Mannheim and Dortmund in the third quarter. With the acquisition of the "Kurpfalz Center" in Mannheim we have purchased a highly attractive retail centre and carried out the largest property investment in the company's history to date. The comprehensively modernised property with excellent building quality and appealing architecture is located at an established shopping centre in the east of Mannheim. The purchase price was €80.0 million. The high street building "DOMI", acquired in September, is located on Ostenhellweg, one of the main shopping streets in Dortmund's pedestrian zone, and has a purchase price of €30.9 million. While ownership of the property in Dortmund is scheduled to be transferred at the end of this year, the Kurpfalz Center has been owned by HAMBORNER since 1 October 2016 and is thus already contributing to the company's rental income and FFO.

In order to finance our further future growth, especially after acquiring the Kurpfalz Center, we carried out a capital increase in September and increased our share capital by 28.6%. All new shares were placed in the capital increase, thereby generating gross proceeds of €166.5 million. The company's successful growth course with further increases in rental income and FFO can thus continue.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your confidence, and we look forward to further success in the rest of the year.

Duisburg, November 2016

Dr Rüdiger Mrotzek Hans Richard Schmitz

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

General Economic Conditions

In their autumn report, the leading economic research institutions are assuming stronger growth for the German economy than in the recent past. Experts are predicting an increase in gross domestic product of 1.9% for 2016 as a whole and growth of 1.4% for the coming year. The stable labour market and strong domestic consumption are cited as the main reasons for this.

The labour market is still in good condition. The number of people in employment rose further to 43.7 million in September 2016 and is expected to climb to 44 million in 2017. The number of people out of work was 2.6 million at the end of September of this year, with an unemployment rate of 5.9%. Institutes are forecasting a stable unemployment rate of 6.1% for 2017. Consumer prices could rise significantly again moving ahead. After just 0.4% for 2016 as a whole, the rate of inflation is set to climb to 1.4% in 2017.

Report on Result of Operations, Net Asset Situation and Financial Position

As expected, the result of operations, net asset situation and financial position of HAMBORNER REIT AG were good in the first nine months of 2016.

Result of Operations

Income from rents and leases amounted to €45,341 thousand by the end of September 2016 (previous year: €38,199 thousand). The increase as against the same period of the previous year was therefore €7,142 thousand or 18.7%. €7,596 thousand (19.9%) of this growth resulted from the property acquisitions of 2015 and the first nine months of the current financial year. The rental income from properties that were in our portfolio in both the first nine months of this year and the same period of 2015 (like-for-like) also increased to €569 thousand (1.6%). As a result of property disposals, rental income declined by a total of €1,023 thousand (2.7%).

The economic vacancy rate including agreed rent guarantees was 1.4% in the first nine months of the reporting year (previous year: 2.2%). Not including rent guarantees, the vacancy rate was 1.7% (previous year: 2.3%).

The company generated income from passed-on incidental costs to tenants of €5,976 thousand, up €1,802 thousand (43.2%) on the figure for the same period of the previous year (€4,174 thousand). At the same time, operating expenses for the management of properties increased by €2,605 thousand (45.0%) to €8,400 thousand (previous year: €5,795 thousand) by the end of September 2016.

For the first nine months of 2016, the expenses for the maintenance of the land and property portfolio amounted to €1,726 thousand and were €251 thousand higher than in the previous year (€1,475 thousand). The costs relate predominantly to various minor planned measures and ongoing maintenance.

At €41,191 thousand, the net rental income derived from the above items is €6,088 thousand or 17.3% higher than the value for the same period of the previous year (€35,103 thousand).

Administrative and personnel expenses totalled €3,779 thousand in the reporting period, up €258 thousand or 7.3% on the previous year's level (€3,521 thousand). The administrative expenses increased by €36 thousand (4.1%) year-on-year. At the same time, personnel expenses climbed by €222 thousand or 8.4%. The operating cost ratio, i.e. administrative and personnel expenses to income from rents and leases, declined further as a result of the low rise in administrative and personnel expenses relative to rental income and was 8.3% (previous year: 9.2%).

Depreciation and amortisation expenses rose by €2,770 thousand to €16,543 thousand in the reporting period after €13,773 thousand in the same period of the previous year as a result of property additions in particular.

Other operating income amounted to €554 thousand in the period from January to September (previous year: €813 thousand). This included €169 thousand from the reversal of provisions (previous year: €51 thousand) and €309 thousand in compensation, reimbursements and expenses passed on in connection with property management.

Other operating expenses amounted to €778 thousand in the first nine months (previous year: €553 thousand). This item includes costs of public relations work of €250 thousand (previous year: €124 thousand) and membership fees of €110 thousand (previous year: €111 thousand). Furthermore, €211 thousand (previous year: €196 thousand) relates to input tax adjustments due to the conclusion of VAT-exempt leases (section 15a of the Umsatzsteuergesetz (UStG – German VAT Act), which were passed on to tenants or compensated for by corresponding rent adjustments.

Thus, as at 30 September 2016, the company generated an operating result of €20,645 thousand after €18,069 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

The company generated earnings of €4,089 thousand (previous year: €458 thousand) from the disposal of properties in the first three quarters of 2016. Sales in the year under review related to a property in Essen, ownership of which was transferred to the buyer in the third quarter of 2016, in addition to the properties already sold in Dinslaken, Duisburg and Solingen in the first quarter.

The financial result is €-10,657 thousand as against €-9,895 thousand in the same period of the previous year. At €-10,659 thousand (previous year: €-9,907 thousand), the amounts for interest expenses included in this increased as against the same period of the previous year on account of the utilisation of further loans to finance property acquisitions in particular.

A net profit for the period of €14,077 thousand was generated in the first nine months of the current year after €8,632 thousand in the same period of the previous year. FFO (funds from operations), i.e. the operating result before depreciation and amortisation expenses and not including proceeds from disposals, increased by 20.9% and amounted to €26,531 thousand in the reporting period (previous year: €21,947 thousand). With 17,715,032 (28.6%) more shares outstanding than in the same period of the previous year, this corresponds to FFO per share of 33 cents (previous year: 35 cents).

Net Asset Situation and Financial Position

Besides the additions of the properties in Lübeck and Ditzingen in February and June of this year, which were already reported in the first half of the year under review, four further purchase agreements for properties in Dortmund, Hanau, Kiel and Mannheim with a total purchase price volume of €169.2 million were concluded in the third quarter.

While the risks and rewards of ownership of the retail centre in Mannheim (purchase price: €80.0 million) already transferred at the beginning of the fourth quarter and ownership is expected to transfer at the end of the current financial year for the retail property in Dortmund (purchase price: €30.8 million), the corresponding transfers of ownership the two properties still under construction in Kiel (purchase price: €20.9 million) and Hanau (purchase price: €37.5 million) are not expected until the second half of 2017.

In terms of sales, ownership of one smaller property in Essen no longer consistent with strategy was transferred on 2 August 2016. At a sale price of €3.3 million and with a remaining carrying amount value of €1.6 million, this meant a book profit of €1.7 million.

The updated fair value of the developed property portfolio taking into account the above changes was €955.5 million as at the end of the quarter under review (31 December 2015: €899.8 million). The retail centre in Mannheim is not yet included here as the transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership, as stated above, only took place at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The company had cash and cash equivalents of €118.9 million on 30 September 2016 (31 December 2015: €27.1 million). The increase in cash and cash equivalents results in particular from inflows of €163.5 million from the capital increase in September, cash inflows from operating activities (€35.4 million; previous year: €31.4 million) and loan borrowings (€81.8 million). These cash inflows are offset by cash outflows for investments in property assets (€154.0 million), interest and principal repayments for loans (€19.8 million) and dividend payments (€26.0 million). Furthermore, there are other financing commitments of €40.0 million as at 30 September 2016.

On the equity and liabilities side, as a result of the capital increase on 27 September of this year in particular, equity rose to €556.6 million as at 30 September 2016 after €406.1 million as at 31 December 2015. The reported equity ratio as at the end of the reporting period was 55.0% after 51.6% as at 31 December 2015. The REIT equity ratio was 68.3% after 61.5% as at 31 December 2015.

As a result of the utilisation of loans to finance the property acquisitions less scheduled repayments in particular, current and non-current financial liabilities rose by a net amount of €72.2 million to €416.5 million as at the end of the reporting period after €344.3 million as at 31 December 2015. The average borrowing rate for loans in place and those agreed but not yet utilised as at 30 September 2016 is 3.2%.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments improved by €1.7 million as against 31 December 2015 and was €-6.5 million as at 30 September 2016.

The net asset value (NAV) of the company was €719.8 million as at 30 September 2016 (30 September 2015: €564.7 million). This corresponds to NAV per share of €9.03 (30 September 2015: €8.53).

Risk Report

As a property company with a portfolio spread across the whole of Germany, HAMBORNER REIT AG is exposed to a number of risks that could affect its result of operations, net assets situation and financial position. There are not currently any new significant changes in the assessment of risks to the business development of the company as against 31 December 2015. The comments made in the risk report in the 2015 management report therefore still apply.

No risks to the continuation of the company as a going concern are currently discernible.

Forecast Report

As an asset manager for commercial properties, HAMBORNER REIT AG held a portfolio of 67 properties as at 30 September 2016. In future, the company's strategy will be geared towards value-adding growth in the fields of retail, high street commercial properties and office properties.

Following the successful business performance to date and in particular on account of the prompt transfer of ownership of the retail centre in Mannheim after the capital increase in September, the forecast for the current financial year has been raised. Instead of an increase in income from rents and leases of around 15%, we now anticipate growth of around 18%. We expect FFO to rise by around 20%. With 17.7 million more shares after the capital increase, bringing the total number to 79.7 million, this would correspond to FFO per share of 44 cents.

Supplementary Report

The risks and rewards of ownership of the Kurpfalz Center in Mannheim transferred on 1 October 2016. With a purchase price of €80.0 million and annual rental income of €4.1 million, the gross initial yield on the fully rented property is around 5.1%. A loan agreement for €40.0 million with an interest rate of 1.22% was also concluded in October for pro rata debt financing. The loan is to be utilised by 30 September 2017.

The presentation of information in these interim financial statements has been condensed compared to the separate IFRS financial statements as at 31 December 2015, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").

The interim financial statements as at and for the period ended 30 September 2016 are based on the same accounting policies as the separate IFRS financial statements as at 31 December 2015. The accounting standards applicable from 1 January 2016 that have been endorsed by the EU and revised were complied with. However, the application of these accounting standards had no significant impact on the interim financial statements.

This interim report was neither audited by an auditor in accordance with section 317 HGB nor reviewed by an auditor.

In the opinion of the Management Board, the interim report contains all the significant information needed to understand the changes in the result of operations, net asset situation and financial position of HAMBORNER REIT AG since the last annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015. The significant changes and transactions in the reporting period are presented in the interim management report of this document.

Material Transactions in the First Nine Months of 2016

Risks and rewards of ownership of the properties in Lübeck (29 February 2016) and Ditzingen (25 June 2016) were transferred to the company's portfolio in the first nine months of the reporting year. The purchase prices not including incidental costs of acquisition together amounted to €62.8 million.

Risks and rewards of ownership of the properties in Dinslaken, Duisburg and Solingen reported under "Non-current assets held for sale" as at 31 December 2015 were transferred on 29 January 2016. Furthermore, a property in Essen was sold, and the risks and rewards of ownership were transferred as at 2 August 2016.

On the basis of the authorisation of the Annual General Meeting on 28 April 2016, the Management Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, increased share capital from Authorised Capital II by issuing 17,715,032 new shares against cash contributions. The shares were available to shareholders for subscription at a ratio of seven to two and a subscription price of €9.40. The capital increase was entered in the commercial register on 27 September 2016.

As at the end of the quarter, the share capital therefore increased to €79,717,645 after €62,002,613 as at 31 December 2015. The company generated gross issue proceeds of €166.5 million from the capital increase. The costs incurred in connection with the capital increases of €4.9 million were deducted directly from equity as a reduction of capital reserves in accordance with IAS 32.35.

Other Selected Notes

The item "Advance payments on investment property" relates to the purchase price payment of €80.0 million for the Kurpfalz Center in Mannheim as at the end of the third quarter. The risks and rewards of ownership did not transfer until 1 October 2016 on account of the regulations of the purchase agreement.

During the process of preparing these interim financial statements, we reviewed the fair values of our investment properties as calculated by an independent expert as at 31 December 2015. The review did not identify any factors affecting their value that would have led to a significantly different valuation. Therefore, the estimated fair values calculated by an expert as at 31 December 2015 continue to be reasonable for these interim financial statements. Property additions in Lübeck and Ditzingen after 31 December 2015 were also valued by an independent expert and included in the fair value measurement disclosure accordingly.

The item "Cash and cash equivalents" includes a fixed-term deposit of €50.0 million with an initial remaining term of five months.

Owing to the decline in capital market interest rates, the discount rate used to measure pension obligations was reduced to 1.0% as at 30 September 2016 (31 December 2015: 2.0%). This interest adjustment caused pension provisions to rise by €875 thousand, which was recognised in the revaluation surplus.

With the exception of derivatives recognised at fair value, all assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

For the assets and liabilities recognised at amortised cost, except for the financial liabilities, the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are a good approximation of their fair value.

The fair values of financial liabilities are equal to the present values of the payments associated with the liabilities, taking into account the current interest rate parameters (Level 2 under IFRS 13) as at the end of each reporting period, and amount to €453,069 thousand as at 30 September 2016 (31 December 2015: €372,477 thousand).

The derivative financial instruments reported in the statement of financial position are measured at fair value. These are exclusively interest hedges. The fair values result from discounting the expected future cash flows over the residual term of the contracts on the basis of observable market interest rates or yield curves (Level 2 under IFRS 13).

Significant Related Party Transactions

There were no reportable transactions with related parties in the 2016 reporting period.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the net asset situation, financial position and result of operations of the company, and the interim management report of the company includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the company, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the company for the remaining months of the financial year.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

General Development on the Capital Market

International stock market activity was again defined by geopolitical events such as the Ukraine crisis and war negotiations in the Middle East in the third quarter of 2016. There was also the US election campaign, which sparked turbulence on the financial markets. Furthermore, this volatility was compounded by uncertainty over a possible forthcoming interest rate hike by the US Fed.

The start of the third quarter was influenced by the repercussions of the UK's Brexit referendum. The DAX reached its lowest point in the past quarter at 9,373 points on 6 July. In the weeks that followed, however, the benchmark index rose sharply and reached its high for the third quarter on 7 September at 10,753 points. The DAX settled at a closing price of 10,511 points by 30 September.

HAMBORNER REIT AG shares

Like the performance of the DAX, HAMBORNER's shares were able to build on the positive development of the first half of the year. After being quoted at €9.73 as at the end of the first half of the year, the shares rose to their high for the first nine months of €10.76 by the middle of August. The shares were therefore well above NAV, which was €8.93 as at the end of the first half of the year. As the third quarter progressed, in line with the general industry trend, the share price was pulled down by the uncertainty concerning a possible increase in interest rates. During the capital increase in September 2016, the price was slightly higher than the subscription price, which was €9.40. After the completion of the capital increase, the share price was €9.42 as at 30 September 2016.

This corresponds to a year-on-year increase of 8.9% (€8.65), and is 4.3% above NAV per share as at 30 September 2016 (€9.03). Market capitalisation was around €751 million at the end of September. An average of around 122,000 shares was traded per day in the first nine months of this year. The daily average was 135,000 shares in the third quarter.

Capital increase in September 2016

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of HAMBORNER REIT AG resolved a capital increase against cash contributions with pre-emption rights for shareholders on 12 September 2015. Share capital was to be increased with the partial utilisation of authorised capital and the issue of up to 17,715,032 new shares. In line with the subscription ratio of seven to two, shareholders had the opportunity to subscribe to two new shares at a subscription price of €9.40 for every seven shares already held. Around 92% of the shares available were subscribed to during the subscription period, which ended on 26 September 2016. The remaining share of around 8% was sold to institutional investors via the syndicate banks at a price of €9.40 by way of a private placement. The company therefore placed all new shares in the capital increase and generated gross proceeds of €166.5 million. On entry of the new shares in the commercial register on 27 September 2016, the share capital of the company was increased by €17,715,032 to currently €79,717,645.
