Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG sells 14 retail properties / Proceeds from the sale
will be used in full to repay financial liabilities

Potsdam, 28 March 2024 - The Management Board of Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG
(ISIN DE000A14KRD3) today notarised the sale of a sub-portfolio of 14
properties. The sub-portfolio comprises a total rental area of around 72,000
sqm at the locations Ludwigslust, Guben (Karl-Marx-Straße), Stendal
(Nordwall), Hohenmölsen, Aschersleben, Tangerhütte, Eisenhüttenstadt
(Karl-Marx-Straße), Seebach, Elsterwerda, Eggesin, Lübz, Lübtheen, Staßfurt
(Neundorfer Straße) and Osterfeld.

The sub-portfolio is made up of various property types - from free-standing
food discounters to regionally dominant retail parks, the retail properties
form a cross-section of DKR's portfolio. The properties currently generate
an annual rent of EUR 5.5 million with a remaining lease term of 5.0 years
and a vacancy rate of around 6%. The selling price is around 4% below the
IFRS carrying amount at which the Company recognised the properties after
the last portfolio valuation on 30 September 2023. The parties have agreed
not to disclose the purchase price. The transfer of benefits and
encumbrances for all properties is expected to take place by June 2024. The
buyer is an institutional German real estate investor in the retail segment.

DKR acquired the properties for sale mainly in individual transactions
between 2015 and 2022 at an average initial yield of 10% and with an average
remaining lease term of 5.7 years. The vacancy rate at the time of
acquisition was around 6%. During the holding period, the properties
generated rental income totalling more than EUR 36 million. On average, DKR
has succeeded in increasing the annual rent of the properties for sale by
around 10% over the holding period since the properties were acquired.

The proceeds from the sale are to be used in full to repay bank liabilities
and to partially repay maturing bonds. This will significantly reduce the
LTV ratio by several percentage points.

The Company is currently working on further selected sales, which will be
carried out to streamline the existing real estate portfolio. The resulting
liquidity will also be used to optimise the debt structure.
