Branicks Group expands business model to include renewables asset class and
cooperates with Encavis Asset Management AG

Frankfurt, 26. 04. 2024 - Branicks Group AG (Branicks), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4,
is strengthening its focus on operational value enhancement and additional
return potential in the area of sustainability in the Commercial Portfolio
and Institutional Business segments. On the one hand, this includes the
consistent further expansion of the green building ratio as the equivalent
of ecological assets, which already stood at 43.6% at the end of FY 2023. In
addition, Branicks has started a cooperation with Encavis Asset Management
AG (Encavis AM) in the Institutional Business segment to establish an
independent "Renewables" asset class. The aim is to develop and offer
investment vehicles in the field of solar and wind power plants in Germany
and other European countries. A first fund with a target volume of EUR 300
million is being set up for this purpose and will be launched on the market
shortly. Encavis AM's expertise as an independent asset manager and advisor
for solar and wind power and Branicks' expertise in the structuring of
investment vehicles complement each other perfectly. In the solar sector in
particular, the use of land and buildings within the existing office and
logistics asset classes also opens up additional yield potential.

Sonja Wärntges, CEO of Branicks Group AG: "The accelerated conversion of
electricity generation in Germany to CO2-free energies as part of the energy
transition requires a strong acceleration in the expansion of renewable
capacities, especially in the solar and onshore wind sectors. The
cooperation with Encavis as a specialist in the field of renewable energy
and Branicks as an expert in investment vehicles and commercial real estate
is an ideal combination to offer investors attractive investment
opportunities in this dynamic market and to further develop Branicks'
business spectrum in a value-driving manner."

"We are convinced that our expertise and network in the field of renewable
energies, combined with Branicks' structuring and investment competence,
will form a solid foundation for profitable and sustainable investments.
Given the dynamic growth of renewable energies in Europe, this collaboration
is a significant contribution to a successful energy transition," commented
Karsten Mieth, Spokesman of Encavis Asset Management AG, on the partnership.

With more than ten years of established sustainability expertise, Branicks
sets standards in the real estate sector in terms of analytics, consulting
and the development, management and operation of properties. Decarbonization
and ESG criteria are increasingly becoming the focus of investor and user
interest and are an integral part of Branicks' corporate strategy and
business activities. The development of an additional asset class
"Renewables" is a logical step towards broadening Branicks' business
spectrum.

Branicks already has an excellent reputation in the field of ESG, occupies
top positions in ratings such as Morningstar Sustainalytics, S&P Global CSA
and properties in the Branicks portfolio have been awarded renowned
certificates such as DGNB, LEED or BREEAM, which demonstrate the highest
sustainability standards.
