DUNA HOUSE HOLDING Public Limited Company (seat: 1016 Budapest, Gellérthegy str. 17, Hungary; company registration number: Cg. 01-10-04838; hereinafter referred to as "Company"), with reference to the detailed provisions on public notice obligation of Decree No. 24/2008. (VIII.15.) PM of the Minister of Finance publishes the following information within the form of extraordinary notice:

On November 6, 2018, Metrohouse Franchise S.A. ("MF"), the 100% subsidiary of the Company has signed an agreement in Warsaw to acquire 100% ownership in Gold Finance Sp. z o.o. ("Gold Finance"). The transaction has successfully been completed on the same day. The total investment was PLN 3.9 million (HUF 293.9 million at current exchange rates), out of which the purchase price was PLN 3.5 million, plus MF acquired shareholder loans from the sellers with the face value of PLN 0.4 million.

Gold Finance is a significant loan broker on the Polish market, its volumes totaled PLN 845.6 million in 2017 (HUF 63.2 billion at current exchange rates) and has increased its performance in the first 10 months of the current year - it is the 5thlargest player on the Polish market.

The acquisition allows the Company to strengthen its position on the Polish market and almost triple the loan volumes intermediated by the Company and its group in Poland. The combined loan volumes place the Company in a better position to increase its market share in this segment in the future.

The acquisition is expected to have a negative impact on the net profit of the Polish operations in the first three months, while the management expects neutral impact in the second. Due to various areas of potential synergies, the management expects a payback period of 3-4 years, excluding the potential impact of additional market share increase (i.e. at current loan volumes).
