ACCENTRO Real Estate AG: Background to the notification of the orders for
audit by BaFin

            Berlin, 8 July 2024 - Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory
     Authority ("BaFin") announced in decisions dated 13 and 25 June 2024
    that it had ordered an examination for cause pursuant to section 107,
          paragraph 1, sentence 1, German Securities Trading Act, towards
          ACCENTRO Real Estate AG ("Company") and reported on this on its
   homepage today. The orders for audit concern exclusively the Company's
   accounting for the reversal of the acquisition of DIM Holding AG ("DIM
         transaction") in the disclosed annual and consolidated financial
    statements dated 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 along with the
      related combined management reports for the 2021 and 2022 financial
                                                                   years.


            The reason for the order were indications suggesting that the
    Company's claim to repayment of the purchase price including interest
    in the amount of EUR 15.8 million as of 31 December 2021 (31 December
           2022: EUR 16.5 million) and the loan granted to DIM Holding AG
    including interest in the amount of EUR 3.1 million as of 31 December
   2021 (31 December 2022: EUR 3.3 million) might have had to be adjusted
                                       in the respective financial years.


      As a result of the orders for audit, BaFin will audit the Company's
      accounting separately in relation to the DIM transaction during the
            2021 and 2022 financial years. Other than that, the Company's
          financial reports for the 2021 and 2022 financial years are not
                                subject to any further auditing by BaFin.


          The Company maintains close communication with BaFin to further
     clarify the past facts and to bring the examinations for cause to an
                            amicable conclusion in a constructive dialog.


       Independently of this, the new Management Board has already made a
      value adjustment of EUR 13.3 million as of 30 September 2023 due to
     ongoing developments in connection with the enforcement of the claim
    and to the very distressed situation on the real estate market, which
     was reported in detail in the respective opportunity and risk report
   (page 10 of the interim financial statement for Q3 2023). The residual
   receivable from the DIM transaction has therefore only amounted to EUR
     4.4 million since 30 September 2023. In this respect, the Management
        Board does not expect any relevant disadvantages for the Company.
