Colonia Real Estate Decides on Capital Increase and Defines Terms - Financing of Future Growth



    THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT FOR PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA, JAPAN OR AUSTRALIA.

    Today, the Management Board of Colonia Real Estate AG (ISIN:
    DE0006338007, WKN 633800), with the approval of the Supervisory Board,
    has resolved to increase the Company's share capital from EUR
    15,704,000 to EUR 21,985,600 by issuing 6,281,600 new ordinary shares
    from authorized capital. Existing shareholders will be granted
    subscription rights. New ordinary shares will be offered to existing
    shareholders of Colonia Real Estate AG at a subscription ratio of two
    new shares for each five shares held.

    The subscription price was set at EUR 28.50 per new share, and
    Colonia Real Estate AG expects to generate approx. EUR 179 million of
    gross proceeds from the capital increase. The subscription period will
    commence on 26 April 2007 and is expected to end on 09 May 2007.
    Rights trading will also commence on 26 April 2007 and is expected to
    end on 4 May 2007. The new shares carry full dividend rights as from 1
    January 2006. The new shares are expected to be included in the
    quotation of the Frankfurt stock exchange as of 11 May 2007.

    Swiss Real Estate AG, the 32.5% shareholder of Colonia Real Estate
    AG, has notified Colonia Real Estate AG, that it is intending to
    participate in the capital increase with at least an 'Operation
    Blanche', using the proceeds from the disposal of the majority of its
    subscription rights to exercise the remaining subscription rights,
    thus increasing its absolute number of ordinary shares held.

    Colonia Real Estate will use the proceeds to further expand and
    implement its strategic goals. In particular, Colonia Real Estate AG
    will partially re-finance the recent acquisitions of majority stakes
    in two residential real estate companies with approximately 9,850
    residential units in aggregate (including the potential future
    acquisition of the remaining stakes of 49% each, not yet acquired).
    Furthermore, Colonia Real Estate AG intends to use parts of the
    proceeds for its strong pipeline of potential investments in
    residential real estate portfolios and co-investments in commercial
    real estate in order to take advantage of the current favorable market
    conditions. Additionally, Colonia Real Estate AG will use the proceeds
    to further develop its strong market position in the German asset
    management market, to strengthen its overall equity base and for
    general corporate purposes.

    UBS Limited as Global Co-ordinator, Merrill Lynch International as
    Joint Bookrunner and UniCredit Markets & Investment Banking as Co-Lead
    Manager are the underwriters on Colonia Real Estate AGs indirect
    rights offering. Silvia Quandt Bank - Reprasentanz der biw Bank fur
    Investments und Wertpapiere AG will act as Selling Agent.
