Branicks continues to drive consolidation and significantly reduces loan
liabilities

* Bridge financing reduced by a further EUR 40 million

* Strategic realignment and financial consolidation making good progress

* Office properties in Mannheim, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf go to VIB

Frankfurt am Main, 28 June 2024. Branicks Group AG ('Branicks'), ISIN:
DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany's leading listed real estate companies, is
consistently implementing its course of strategic realignment and financial
consolidation with further progress. In this context, office properties from
Branicks' commercial portfolio were transferred to VIB Vermögen AG - in
which Branicks holds around 69% - this week. The purchase price amounted to
EUR 125.8 million.

The properties in Mannheim, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf have a total rental
area of 38,280 sqm and are well let. The transfer supports the strategic
development of VIB into a diversified holder of assets in the logistics and
office classes and into a major portfolio holder within the Branicks Group.

At the same time, Branicks announces the further reduction of its loan
liabilities by repaying a partial amount of the VIB bridge financing of EUR
40 million at the end of the quarter.

Following the previous consolidation steps in the past quarter and financial
year, this leaves a residual bridge financing of EUR 120 million. In
accordance with the restructuring plan drawn up and approved on the basis of
the corporate planning reviewed by independent experts, this remaining
amount will be repaid by the end of 2024 at the latest.

'We are delivering what we promised and are making very good progress in the
further development of our company and its financial consolidation. We are
making progress in reducing our debt as planned and agreed. We are also
sharpening our strategic profile and the roles of the Group companies. In
the gradually recovering commercial real estate market, we are positioning
Branicks Group AG as a high-profile holder and manager of real estate in the
logistics, office and renewables asset classes and as a consultant and
service provider with a creative approach and a willingness to innovate
along the entire value chain,' commented Sonja Wärntges, CEO of Branicks
Group AG.
