IMMOFINANZ AG: Issuance of New Convertible Bond due 2018
Repurchase of outstanding Convertible Bonds due 2014 and due 2017

IMMOFINANZ AG (the 'Company') intends to issue a new convertible bond due
2018. In parallel to the new issue a repurchase of the outstanding 2.75%
convertible bonds due 2014 (ISIN XS0283649977) ('CB 2014') and the 1.25%
convertible bonds due 2017 (ISIN XS0332046043) ('CB 2017') shall take
place, to be financed out of the net proceeds of the new issue.

Issuance of new convertible bonds (CB 2018) with subscription rights of the
existing shareholders

On 14 February 2011 the management board of the Company with the approval
of the supervisory board resolved upon the issuance of up to 125.029.692
convertible bonds due 2018 (ISIN XS0592528870), bearing interest at a rate
of at least 1% per annum, with conversion rights into initially up to
125.029.692 no-par-value bearer shares of the Company (ISIN AT0000809058)
('CB 2018'). The maturity date of CB 2018 will be 8 March 2018. Each
bondholder may at his option give notice and declare its bonds to be
redeemed on 8 March 2016 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
CB 2018 (the 'Terms and Conditions'). The Company may redeem the CB 2018
after five years of issuance pursuant to the Terms and Conditions provided
the share price of IMMOFINANZ AG during a certain period is equal to or
exceeds 130 per cent. of the conversion price.

The CB 2018 will be offered to existing shareholders of the Company for
subscription by way of a non-public offer within the subscription period
from and including 16 February 2011 to and including 2 March 2011.

On the basis of a subscription ratio of 23 : 3 the shareholders are
entitled for every [23] existing shares to subscribe for three convertible
bonds (CB 2018) at a subscription price (corresponding to the principal
amount, the initial conversion price and the redemption price) of not more
than EUR 5.50 per bond (CB 2018) and a coupon of at least 1%. The
shareholders' subscription rights are allocated according to the balance on
the securities accounts as at the end of 15 February 2011. Each CB 2018
entitles initially to convert into one no-par-value share. No trading in
subscription rights will be organised by the Company or by the Joint
Bookrunners and such trading is not intended.

The subscription invitation (Bezugsaufforderung) will be published in the
Austrian Official Gazette (Amtsblatt zur Wiener Zeitung) on 16 February
2011. The subscription price per one CB 2018, which corresponds to the
principal amount, the initial conversion price and the redemption price, as
well as the interest rate of the CB 2018 (together the 'Terms') have not
been determined yet.

It is envisaged that on 3 March 2011 the management board of the Company -
after having obtained the approval of the supervisory board - will
determine the final Terms of the CB 2018 after a book-building process for
the placement of those CB 2018 for which no subscription right has been
exercised (the 'Price Fixing Date'). Credit Suisse Securities (Europe)
Limited is acting as Sole Global Coordinator and jointly with Deutsche Bank
Aktiengesellschaft and UniCredit Bank Austria AG as Joint Bookrunner. The
Joint Bookrunner have committed themselves to offer all bonds (CB 2018)
which were not subscribed during the subscription invitation for purchase
to institutional investors outside of the United States of America,
Australia, Canada and Japan by way of a book building process.

It is expected that the management board will publish the final Terms of
the CB 2018 via electronic media in accordance with sec 48d Austrian Stock
Exchange Act (BörseG) on the Price Fixing Date and presumably on 5 March
2011 in the Austrian Official Gazette (Amtsblatt zur Wiener Zeitung) in
accordance with sec 174 para 2 Austrian Stock Corporation Act
(Aktiengesetz).

The bonds are expected to be delivered on 8 March 2011 (valuta).

The terms of the bonds are determined by the Terms and Conditions which may
be requested by each shareholder through its custodian from UniCredit Bank
Austria AG stating an email address for the delivery of the Terms and
Conditions. The Terms and Conditions may be submitted only to shareholders
of the Company entitled to subscription rights.

In relation to the subscription offer of the CB 2018 to the shareholders of
the Company only the terms and conditions of the subscription invitation
and the Terms and Conditions are binding.

Invitation to offer to sell CB 2014 and CB 2017

On 14 February 2011 the management board, with the approval of the
supervisory board, passed the resolution that the Company invites
bondholders of outstanding CB 2014 and CB 2017 to offer to sell their CB
2014 and/or CB 2017 for purchase by the Company in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the tender invitation memorandum dated 15 February
2011 (the 'Memorandum').

Offers to sell may be submitted by bondholders of CB 2014 and/or CB 2017 in
the period from 15 February 2011 to 7 March 2011 at 16:00 hours CET. The
results of the invitation to offer to sell will be announced on 7 March
2011. The settlement date will be 8 March 2011 (the 'Settlement Date').

Bondholders of CB 2014 and CB 2017 are requested to contact their
custodians regarding the respective cut-off periods for the submission of
offers to sell, which might end significantly earlier than the end of the
invitation period.

The Company will pay for accepted offers to sell a purchase price of EUR
99,750 for each CB 2014 in the principal amount of EUR 100,000 and of EUR
106,000 for each CB 2017 in the principal amount of EUR 100,000. In
addition, the Company will pay pro rata accrued interest until (and
excluding) the Settlement Date.

Any acceptance of offers to sell by the Company is subject to the issuance
of the CB 2018. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this
issuance to refinance the repurchase price for the CB 2014 and CB 2017
(excluding accrued interest) ('Maximum Repurchase Price').

Offers to sell by bondholders of CB 2014 and/or CB 2017 which have received
allocations of CB 2018 in course of the private placement will receive
preferential acceptance. If the bonds offered to sell exceed the 'Maximum
Repurchase Price', the Company will accept offers to sell in the
corresponding ratio.

The invitation to offer to sell is exclusively made in accordance with the
terms and conditions set out in the Memorandum. The Memorandum may be
requested from Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, One Cabot Square,
London E14 4QJ, United Kingdom, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Winchester
House, 1 Great Winchester Street, London EC2N 2DB, United Kingdom and
UniCredit Bank Austria AG, Schottengasse 6 - 8, 1010 Vienna, Austria, free
