TLG HAS SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED SEVERAL STEPS TOWARDS A BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH AROUNDTOWN

Berlin, 26 September 2019 -TLG IMMOBILIEN AG (ISIN: DE000A12B8Z4) ("TLG") has successfully adopted multiple measures towards a business combination with Aroundtown SA ("Aroundtown") in accordance with its announcement on 1 September 2019.

On 19 September 2019, TLG successfully increased the nominal amount of the senior unsecured notes placed by it on 17 September 2019 from EUR 500 million to EUR 600 million and the nominal amount of the undated, perpetual subordinated notes placed by TLG Finance S.à r.l. on 17 September 2019 from EUR 500 million to EUR 600 million. Both issuances were settled on 23 September 2019 resulting in net proceeds to TLG of app. EUR 1,180 million. Any (remaining) payment obligations for the proposed participation of up to 14.99% in Aroundtown have thereby been fully refinanced. The excess liquidity is at TLG's disposal and may be deployed for selective real estate acquisitions.

Yesterday, after the German Federal Cartel Office approved the proposed acquisition of the stake in Aroundtown, TLG exercised its call option to acquire an additional 3.0% of the currently outstanding shares in Aroundtown from Avisco Group ("Avisco") as agreed in the option agreement announced 1 September 2019. Following the exercise, TLG continues to hold a call option over ca. 2.0% of the shares in Aroundtown.

Following the exercise of the call option, TLG's shareholding in Aroundtown increases to ca. 13.0%.

TLG intends to pursue discussions with Aroundtown for the benefit of both companies and their shareholders to create a leading commercial office platform in Europe.
