----------------------------------------------------------------------
In its last session this year, the Berlin Parliament unanimously approved
the application of HSH Real Estate AG, Hamburg, for the transfer of the
remaining 15% of the shares in GEHAG GmbH to Deutsche Wohnen Group. GEHAG
GmbH is thus entirely under the ownership of Deutsche Wohnen Group, apart
from the 0.01 per cent which remains with the State of Berlin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:
On July 2, 2007, Deutsche Wohnen AG reached agreement, in the form of a
notarized agreement, with the investment companies administered by Oaktree
Capital Management LLC on a merger of the Deutsche Wohnen Group with the
GEHAG Group, Berlin, which originally belonged to the State of Berlin.
Under the merger terms, Deutsche Wohnen Group initially and indirectly took
over nearly 85 per cent of GEHAG GmbH. The transfer of the remaining 15 per
cent of the shares, held by HSH Real Estate AG, Hamburg, was an integral
part of the merger agreement, but was subject to the suspensory approval of
the State of Berlin. This approval has now been obtained within the period
stipulated and is in the interest of both the selling and the purchasing
company.
