The repurchase price for each validly tendered 2018/2021 Note will be 103.243% of the outstanding amount of such note. ACCENTRO intends to redeem any of the 2018/2021 Notes outstanding after the Tender Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2018/2021 Notes. The New Notes will be governed by German law and will only be offered in a private placement and exclusively to qualified investors outside the United States of America (Reg S). A public offer of the New Notes will not take place. The coupon of the New Notes has not yet been set and will be determined by way of a book-building process. Interest payments shall be made semi-annually.

ACCENTRO intends to use the net proceeds from the New Notes to redeem the 2018/2021 Notes in full, finance acquisitions of new real estate assets in Germany and for general corporate finance purposes.
