Vienna, 25 March 2013 - The management board of Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs Aktiengesellschaft ("Warimpex" or "Company") today resolved to launch a private placement of convertible bonds, whereto the supervisory board has granted its consent. The management board thereby exercises the authorization granted by the resolution of the general meeting of 11 June 2012 in this regard. The subscription rights of the shareholders to subscribe for the convertible bonds have been excluded by virtue of the adoption of a resolution of the general meeting of 11 June 2012.

The final volume of the issue, the conversion price and the interest rate will be determined by the management board with the approval of the supervisory board after the end of the bookbuilding-procedure.
The proceeds from the offering shall be used to optimise the existing financing structure, mainly for the refinancing of short-term liabilities, as well as for the financing of projects, in particular in St. Petersburg and Budapest.
The convertible bonds shall be offered and placed by means of a private placement to qualified investors in particular in Poland, but in any case outside the USA, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and Japan. A public offering shall not be conducted. Warimpex intends to list the convertible bonds on the Catalyst alternative trading system operated by BondSpot S.A., a subsidiary of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
