Frankfurt am Main, 19 March 2019. DIC Asset AG, one of Germany’s leading listed property companies, reported the disposal of a first block of shares of its TLG Immobilien AG stock holdings. The company had already announced its plan to dispose the TLG Immobilien AG holdings in December 2018. The buyer of the now sold stake is Ouram Holding S.à.r.l. (“Ouram”) who exercised its call option on a 6% block of shares of the TLG Immobilien AG equity, completing the transaction in accordance with the contractual agreement.
 
The result of the transaction amounts to 32.9 million Euro and is directly recognized within retained earnings without affecting the income statement. As of 31 December 2018, we have already recognized around 29.7 million Euro in the reserve for the financial instruments classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income. On transaction date, equity of DIC Asset AG has been increased by 3.2 million Euro compared to year end.
 
Analogously, the implementation of the sale and purchase agreement with Bedrock for a share block of about 8% in TLG Immobilien AG is scheduled for April 2019. This would successfully complete the sale of DIC Asset AG’s shares in TLG Immobilien AG, which amounted to a total of around 14% of that company’s share capital.
 
The sales proceeds are earmarked for DIC Asset AG’s own continued growth.
