Important milestone: DEMIRE achieves formal approval for bond extension

Langen, 6 September 2024. DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG (ISIN: DE000A0XFSF0) has achieved the formal approval of creditors representing more than 90% of the outstanding nominal amount of the 2019/24 bond (ISIN: DE000A2YPAK1). The vote was held in accordance with the German Bond Act (Schuldverschreibungsgesetz). This means that the new bond conditions for an extension of the bond until the end of 2027 can be implemented. This important step allows the company to focus fully on its operating business.

“With the approval of the creditors, DEMIRE has taken an important step towards completion of its recapitalization,” said CEO Frank Nickel. “We have, also thanks to the strong support of our major shareholder, an affiliate of funds managed by Apollo Global Management Inc., found a good solution. We have thus created a stable foundation for the positive future of our company. We will utilise the internal resources that have now been freed up to strengthen our asset base.”
