Frankfurt am Main, August 16, 2024: Branicks Group AG (“Branicks”), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, one of Germany’s leading listed real estate companies, has continued its course of strategic focusing and financial consolidation with the sale of four retail park properties to a leading US real estate investment manager. One property comes from the existing portfolio of Branicks AG. The other three belong to the portfolio of BBI Bürgerliches Brauhaus Immobilien Aktiengesellschaft, a subsidiary of VIB Vermögen AG. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

The annual rent for the four properties amounts to EUR 4.3 million. The cash inflow from the sale amounts to a good EUR 27 million. The sale, including the effect on rental income, the further focusing of the portfolio on the strategic asset priorities of the Branicks Group and the organizational streamlining of the Group contribute to the goals of the Performance Program 2024 and are in line with the independently audited restructuring plan adopted in the spring of this year.

The three properties owned by BBI Bürgerliches Brauhaus Immobilien Aktiengesellschaft are located in Bavaria – Pfaffenhofen, Simbach and Landshut. The property from the existing portfolio of Branicks AG is located in Stockstadt.

The Annual General Meetings of BBI Bürgerliches Brauhaus Immobilien AG and VIB Vermögen AG approved the merger of BBI Bürgerliches Brauhaus Immobilien AG with VIB Vermögen AG. This will streamline the structure of the Branicks Group.
