PRESS RELEASE

Two fund hotels sold by Lloyd Fonds at top prices

– Two hotels in Berlin and Nuremberg successfully sold for “Moderne Großstadthotels” real estate fund

– Pretax return of over 11 percent p.a. for investors

– Substantial income for Lloyd Fonds through share in the proceeds

Hamburg, June 28, 2016. The Lloyd Fonds Group has sold the two hotels operated by renowned hotel group Motel One and held by the “Moderne Großstadthotels” real estate fund at top prices. The Motel One Group is the buyer.

Lloyd Fonds had initiated the “Moderne Großstadthotels” real estate fund in 2008, thus continuing a series of successful hotel funds. The fund invested in two hotel buildings in the CBDs of Berlin and Nuremberg leased to Motel One Group on a long-term basis. Lloyd Fonds was one of the first fund initiators to discover the trend in favor of budget hotels and to make the projects of the Motel One Group, which was still young at the time, available to investors. The two hotels were acquired at a multiple of 14.6 times the net annual rental. Lloyd Fonds has now sold them very successfully at a multiple of around 19.8 times for the fund investors.

“German real estate, particularly also hotel buildings, are currently attracting very strong interest. The current sales price, which is around 42 percent up on the original purchase price, testifies impressively to the quality of our funds and our professional asset management,” says Dr. Torsten Teichert, CEO of Lloyd Fonds AG. “We have been able to achieve an outstanding result for investors. We are very pleased about this. As Lloyd Fonds participates in the fund’s performance via a contractual arrangement, we have also been able to secure a substantial contribution to our earnings from this transaction.”

Above-average return for investors

With the successful sale of the two fund assets together with the regular payouts of a total of around 41 percent, investors will receive a capital flowback of almost of 189 percent before tax. In terms of the fund’s duration of 7.5 years, this translates into an annual pre-tax return of over 11 percent. 94 percent of the fund investors voted in favor of the motion to sell the hotel buildings at this point in time.
