UBM Development AG (the "Issuer") decided today to issue a new sustainability-linked bond ("Sustainability-Linked Bond" or "UBM Bond 2021") with a maturity of five years, an interest rate of 3.125% p.a. and a denomination of EUR 500.00. Sustainability-linked bond means that in case both ESG Ratings defined in the terms and conditions are below the ESG Rating threshold set forth in the terms and conditions during the term of the Sustainability-Linked Bond at the determined observation dates ("Adjustment Event"), investors will receive an increased redemption amount at the end of the term. The redemption amount to be adapted will increase by 10 basis points on each observation date on which an Adjustment Event exists.

The issue volume of the UBM Bond 2021 is to be up to EUR 75 million, with the possibility of an increase to up to EUR 125 million, and will depend in particular on the acceptance rate of the exchange offer.
Subject to the approval of a prospectus by the Austrian Financial Market Authority ("FMA") and its publication, interested investors will be able to subscribe for the Sustainability-Linked Bond during the period which is expected to be from 11 May to 17 May 2021, subject to early closing.
The re-offer price for institutional investors will amount to 100% of the nominal amount. Retail investors may subscribe the UBM Bond 2021 at the Re-offer Price plus a selling fee of up to 1.5%-points charged by the respective financial intermediary placing the UBM Bond 2021.

Pursuant to the exchange offer, the holders of the 3.250% UBM Bond 2017-2022 (ISIN: AT0000A1XBU6 ) issued in 2017 with a denomination per unit of EUR 500.00 (the "UBM Bond 2017") will be invited to tender their UBM Bonds 2017 in the exchange for the new UBM Bond 2021 to be issued by the Issuer. The exchange period is expected to begin on 27 April 2021 and to end on 7 May 2021. Holders of UBM Bonds 2017 whose tender is accepted by the Issuer shall receive one new bond of the UBM Bond 2021 for one existing bond of the UBM Bond 2017 (exchange ratio 1:1) as well as an additional cash settlement amount of EUR 18,01 per exchanged bond of the UBM Bond 2017. The cash settlement amount shall be calculated on the basis of the proportionate accrued interest and an additional amount. The accrued interest will amount to EUR 9,88 (per bond of the UBM Bond 2017). The additional amount was set at EUR 8,13 (per bond of the UBM Bond 2017). Upon completion of the exchange offer, the UBM Bond 2021 is to be offered for subscription in Austria, Germany and Luxembourg by way of a public offer subject to a prospectus requirement and in other countries by way of offers which are exempt from the prospectus obligation (cash subscription offer). The UBM Bond 2021 is intended to be listed on the Official Market (Corporates Prime) of the Vienna Stock Exchange.

The transaction is subject to the approval and publication of a prospectus by the FMA.

As the UBM Bond 2021 can be redeemed with a redemption amount of more than 100% of the nominal amount due to the sustainability rating (ESG Rating), a corresponding key information document (KID) will be prepared in accordance with Regulation (EU) 1286/2014, which will be available on the Issuer's website (subject to approval of the prospectus).

The Management Board of the Issuer resolved today to examine in detail the possibility of issuing a sustainability-linked hybrid bond. The Issuer is considering issuing a sustainability-linked hybrid bond (including the possibility of an exchange offer of the hybrid bond 2018, ISIN: XS1785474294) at the earliest in June 2021, subject to prevailing capital market conditions at the possible issue date. In contrast to the Sustainability-Linked Bond, the offer of a sustainability-linked hybrid bond would be aimed exclusively at institutional investors.
