Fair Value REIT AG further expands influence in participations

Munich, August 4, 2011 – Fair Value REIT AG has taken over 100% of the shares in the general partners of five real estate partnerships, two of which are subsidiaries and three are associated companies. Aside from its already existing voting rights, this allows Fair Value to further expand its influence on the management of the companies in question.

Frank Schaich, CEO of Fair Value REIT AG, explains the reasoning behind this move: "The previous owners of the general partners were ready to sell. It was therefore logical for us, as the largest respective investor in the partnerships, to take responsibility. We are convinced that our many years of experience in the real estate markets will also allow us to generate added value for our participations in the role of the general partner."

Taking into account the real estate owned directly and the voting rights majorities held in its subsidiaries, this investment increases Fair Value's direct influence to over 90% of its market-value weighted portfolio of real estate and participations. This portfolio currently encompasses 74 commercial real estate properties with a market value totalling € 494 million.
