conwert Immobilien Invest SE: Shareholders decline Deutsche Wohnen offer

mandate to increase profitability and shareholder value

Vienna (pta025/15.04.2015/21:20 UTC+2) conwert Immobilien Invest SE, traded on the Austrian ATX, announces that the majority of shareholders have not accepted the offer made by Deutsche Wohnen AG ("Deutsche Wohnen") for EUR11.50 per share, even though Deutsche Wohnen had managed to secure acceptance pledges for major share packages should the offer have succeeded. The shareholder structure therefore remains unchanged at present.

Management sees the rejection of the offer as a mandate from shareholders to continue to improve profitability and, as announced, to review the financing structure in order to start a significant reduction in interest costs. conwert sees the high quality property portfolio and qualified, dedicated staff as an important building block for the strategy to increase shareholder value.

Nevertheless, management anticipates a further consolidation in the property sector in Germany and Austria. The Administrative Board and Executive Directors will strive to achieve the best-possible results for shareholders in the course of this consolidation process.
