DIC Asset AG: Issue of Third Corporate Bond

Freie-PM.de: Frankfurt, 02 September 2014 - The SDAX-listed real estate company DIC Asset AG (WKN A1X3XX / ISIN DE000A1X3XX4) is issuing its third corporate bond.

The five-year corporate bond will be issued in a volume of at least EUR 100 million. The final bond volume and the coupon will be determined on the basis of an international private placement, and subsequently published on the website of DIC Asset AG. Moreover, the corporate bond is to be offered within the framework of a public offering in Luxembourg and Germany as soon as the prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Financial Sector Supervisory Commission (CSSF) and the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has been notified. This is expected to occur in the course of 02 September 2014, the prospectus will subsequently be published on the website of DIC Asset AG.

The private placement is being carried out by Bankhaus Lampe KG and Citigroup Global Markets Limited as joint lead managers.

DIC Asset AG intends to use the net issue proceeds to repay existing debt. In particular the Company's first bond (ISIN DE000A1KQ1N3, EUR 100,000,000 with a coupon of 5.875 per cent) is to be repaid prematurely.

Corporate bonds have proven to be a flexible and cost-effective financing component for DIC Asset AG. The new issue and the planned early redemption of the first corporate bond will bolster the Company's existing funding structure, and will help to optimise the terms of financing for the Company. At the same time, DIC Asset AG's medium-term goal of reducing the gearing ratio (LtV) to less than 60% by the end of 2016 remains in place.
