PRESS RELEASE Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG acquires retail park "Cottbus-Center" and two grocery stores in Saxony-Anhalt Potsdam, 10 August 2022 - Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG ("DKR") (ISIN DE000A14KRD3) has acquired the retail park "Cottbus-Center" and two grocery stores in Saxony-Anhalt by notarial deed. Located on the northern outskirts of Cottbus (Brandenburg), the Cottbus-Center was built in 1992, extensively refurbished from 2017 to 2020 and currently has more than 30,000 sqm of lettable space. The well-established property, which has good connections to public transport, fulfils the key local supply function for the northern part of the city and the surrounding communities and is a popular location for specialist stores and service providers. The anchor tenants of the property are the food retailer Kaufland as well as Rossmann, Deichmann and Woolworth. Other well-known tenants at the location are expert, Adler Modemärkte, KiK, Takko and TEDi. Overall, the property currently generates an annual rent of more than EUR 2.8 million with a comparatively long WALT of 7.2 years and a vacancy rate of 3.6%. The acquisition yield is approximately 7.8%. DKR also acquired two fully let grocery stores in Staßfurt and Osterfeld (both in Saxony-Anhalt) for EUR 2.8 million in individual transactions. The tenants of the properties are the food discounters Netto Marken-Discount (Staßfurt) and Diska (Osterfeld), both of which belong to the EDEKA Group. Both properties generate total annualised rental income of TEUR 232 with a WALT of 3.7 years. The acquisition yield is 8.2%. The acquisition of the property in Osterfeld is subject to subsequent formal approval by the seller, which DKR expects shortly. In the current financial year 2021/2022, DKR has thus acquired 24 non-cyclical and mainly food-anchored retail properties with a rental area of around 102,100 sqm and an annual rent of approximately EUR 8.0 million for around EUR 97.5 million, which corresponds to an average initial yield of 8.2%.
