Changes in the DEMIRE Supervisory Board and Shareholder Structure
Langen, 20 January 2017 - Following the Group's restructuring,
repositioning and successful expansion of business activities, Günther
Walcher will step down as a member of the DEMIRE Supervisory Board. In
addition, DeGeLog, in which Günther Walcher held a minority share, sold its
8.32 % shareholding in DEMIRE to Klaus Wecken of Wecken &Cie. Dr Peter
Maser is also terminating his Supervisory Board mandate at DEMIRE. Dr Maser
was appointed to the Supervisory Board of DEMIRE at the beginning of 2015
and elected as deputy chairman. He advised the Company in the areas of
equity and capital market law based on his many years of banking and
capital market experience and his expertise as a lawyer. The Company has
already initiated the appropriate actions to promptly fill the two vacant
Supervisory Board seats with competent candidates.
As a result, Wecken & Cie. now holds 26.53 % of DEMIRE's share capital,
which makes it the Company's largest investor. Dr Walcher assumed his
Supervisory Board activities in 2013 when DEMIRE - which at that time was
still known as MAGNAT Real Estate Opportunities AG - had a market
capitalisation of just roughly EUR 4 million. During Mr Walcher's position
on the Supervisory Board, all of the Company's governing bodies were
reorganised and the business activities were refocused on the German
commercial real estate market. The majority of the portfolio, which had
been held in Eastern Europe by MAGNAT, has since been sold or written off.
DEMIRE also executed an extensive restructuring and realignment programm
with Mr Walcher. This programme, which has been successfully completed, is
the reason DEMIRE now holds roughly EUR 1 billion in assets and has a
market capitalisation of over EUR 200 million, representing a fifty-fold
increase.
"Mr Walcher closely accompanied our Company's repositioning and, as an
important partner and advisor, strongly influenced the Company in all
aspects. Dr Maser contributed to the Company's strong growth through his
many years of transaction experience and was a valuable advisor to the
Executive Board at all times. We are very grateful to both of these former
Supervisory Board members for these contributions. Now, with Wecken & Cie.,
we have a professional and very successful name as our largest shareholder.
The team led by Mr Wecken has already proven in many of their investments
that they can realise potential and create value through forward-looking
thinking. We look forward to a stronger cooperation and are pleased to have
not only a stable but also supportive shareholder structure," commented
Prof Andreas Steyer, CEO of DEMIRE.

About DEMIRE - First in secondary locations
DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG has commercial real estate
holdings in mid-sized cities and up and coming areas bordering German
metropolitan areas. As at September 30, 2016, DEMIRE held real estate
consisting of 178 properties with a market value of EUR 981 million. As at
the reporting date, contractual rents had been firmly agreed upon in the
amount of EUR 74.4 million (at an occupancy rate of 87.3 % of the potential

DEMIRE aims to maintain its corporate organisation as lean as possible,
although it still believes that economies of scale and portfolio
optimisation are best achieved by having its own in-house asset, property
and facility management. This safeguards the Company's business expertise
and, equally important, allows the Company to maintain direct contact with
the customer.

listed in the Prime Standard segment of the Deutsche Börse in Frankfurt.
