Aschaffenburg, 17 July 2018 - EYEMAXX Real Estate AG (General Standard; ISIN DE000A0V9L94) today announced the successful completion of negotiations for the acquisition of a 14 percent equity interest in ViennaEstate Immobilien AG ("ViennaEstate") as well as the agreement of a strategic partnership with the Austrian real estate company. Both parties have signed an agreement to this effect. EYEMAXX`s stake in ViennaEstate could be increased to more than 25 percent in the medium term.

EYEMAXX acquired the equity interest in ViennaEstate by contributing its B2C property development business in Austria and Germany and three of EYEMAXX's smaller-scale Austrian B2C property development projects as part of a non-cash capital increase at ViennaEstate. The smaller-scale projects are located in Vienna and the surrounding area and are not part of EYEMAXX's core project pipeline. They are accounted for with a figure in the low single-digit million euro amount in the EYEMAXX balance sheet. The deal does not affect EYEMAXX's current B2C property development projects in Germany.

ViennaEstate Immobilien AG has many years of experience as a real estate investor and asset manager. The total value of the residential and hotel properties under management and held in the company's own portfolio amounts to around EUR 352 million. ViennaEstate has equity in the mid-double-digit million euro amount and works at a profit. The Austrian public limited company is privately owned and plans to continue disbursing significant dividends in future, which will also benefit EYEMAXX.

Under the agreed strategic partnership, EYEMAXX will provide planning and development services as a preferred partner of ViennaEstate for B2C development projects in Germany and Austria. ViennaEstate plans to build up to 1,000 residential units as part of property development projects in these countries.

This means that EYEMAXX will continue expanding its regular income based on both fees and dividend payments from ViennaEstate. Going forward, EYEMAXX will focus on higher-volume B2B projects for global sales to institutional investors. EYEMAXX also intends to add more selected attractive properties to its own portfolio to further boost its current income.

Under the collaboration with ViennaEstate, EYEMAXX will generate service revenue without having to spend its own capital or maintain its own sales channels in the B2C domain. Dr. Michael Müller, CEO of EYEMAXX Real Estate AG, has been elected to the Supervisory Board of ViennaEstate Immobilien AG.
