Berlin, 25 March 2019 - Brack Capital Properties N.V. (BCP), a c.70% subsidiary of ADLER Real Estate AG, has entered into a binding sale and purchase agreement with an established London-based real estate private equity firm to dispose of 3 retail assets located in Rostock, Celle and Castrop-Rauxel. BCP will retain a minority stake of 10.1% as part of the share deal. Closing remains subject to customary closing conditions.

The disposal of these three retail assets is in line with ADLER's strategy to remain a pure play German residential real estate company.

Tomas de Vargas Machuca, ADLER's Co-CEO, commented: 'The disposal of our non-core residential assets in December 2018 and this first disposal of BCP's retail portfolio demonstrates the Company's commitment to improve our LTV, streamline our portfolio and is also a testament to our execution capabilities.'

Maximilian Rienecker, ADLER's Co-CEO added: 'BCP intends to opportunistically dispose of the remaining parts of its retail portfolio, which have already received interest by institutional, private equity and private groups of investors.'
