("Sirius Real Estate" or the "Company")

Completion of the acquisition of Wiesbaden Business Park for €17.7 million

and New Banking Facility

Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany, is pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of the Wiesbaden business park for €17.7 million (including acquisition costs), taking the number of business parks in the Company's portfolio to 43.

The total consideration for the acquisition represents a 9.1% EPRA net initial yield. Currently, the site has 19,602 sqm of gross lettable area of which 65% of this space is occupied with 3 tenants paying a total annual rental income of €1.88 million on leases with an average lease length remaining of 2.7 years.

Wiesbaden is one of the core cities in the Frankfurt/Rhine-Main regions and the business park offers primarily good quality office space which in particular fits Sirius's flexible multi-tenanted workspace strategy.

The Company continues to reduce the average cost of its borrowings and is pleased to confirm it has completed a new 7 year €70 million banking facility with BerlinHyp with an all-in fixed interest rate of 1.48% for the term of the loan to replace an existing €39.3 million facility which was incurring an all-in fixed interest of 2.73%. This has further reduced the Company's weighted average cost of debt to 2.0%. The extra funds from the increased facility are being used in part to fund the previously announced Dresden acquisition as well as the Wiesbaden property.

The interest rate achieved is a record low fixed rate for Sirius and highlights the acquisition yield to interest rate opportunity currently available to the Company. Sirius has a further €10 million of equity remaining from the June 2016 equity raise, which it is intending to use to acquire further assets.

Andrew Coombs Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, said, "We are very pleased to have completed the acquisition of this excellent site and to have agreed this long term low interest new facility with BerlinHyp."
