<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In the first nine months of 2012, alstria’s revenues
increased by 12.7% year-on-year to EUR 75.1 m, mainly as a result of
the acquisition of real estate assets. The funds from operations (FFO) improved
by 25.2% to EUR 32.0 m in the first nine months of 2012, driving the FFO margin
by 4.2 percentage points to 42.6%. This development was driven by alstria’s increased
revenue base, a sub- proportional growth of financing costs and efficiency
gains. alstria’s FFO per share increased by 13.9% to EUR 0.41 (Q1-Q3 2011:
EUR 0.36), again demonstrating the Company’s ability to deliver on FFO
accretion. <span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">The net profit for the first nine months of 2012 amounted to EUR 32.5 m

portfolio, which was consolidated as of May 1, 2012. alstria’s equity amounted
to EUR 819.6 m as of September 30, 2012. The increase of EUR 51.4 m
reflects the capital increase and the operating profit in the first nine months
of 2012 on the one hand and the dividend payment to the Company’s shareholders
on the other hand. alstria’s G-REIT equity ratio improved to 49.5% as per end
of September 2012, the Company’s net LTV at the reporting date was 48.1%. The
EPRA NAV per share amounted to EUR 10.90 as of September 30, 2012, and has
therefore recouped the full dilution from the capital increase<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6320097746951883698#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: DE;"><span style="color: blue;">[1]</span></span></span></span></span></a>.
In the third quarter of 2012 alstria secured a new loan of EUR 42.5 m
with a seven year maturity to finance the DIVE acquisition. The Company has
continued to sell smaller assets mainly in Eastern Germany with the signature
of an SPA for the sale of an asset in Dresden for a total consideration of EUR
2.65 m (vs. book value of EUR 2.5 m as of Dec. 31, 2011). </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

continuously improving our FFO per share since we came back to the market at
the end of 2010”, said Olivier Elamine, CEO of alstria. “We are still scouting
the market for further acquisition opportunities that would allow us to invest
our current cash at hand. The recent success of our real estate operations in
leasing is ahead of our plans and should allow us to further add value to the
newly acquired assets.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The results of the German Office Rent
Reversion Index (DMX), annually published by IPD and sponsored and initiated by
alstria office REIT-AG, show a very low rent reversion for the reporting year
to May 2012. After the strong result of 3.9% in the last reporting period the current
value of the DMX to May 2012 is only 0.3% and therefore shows a nearly balanced
relation between the average contract rents and the average sustainable rents
of office leases. The current contract rent for all running office leases is
12.85 EUR/sqm/month which is very close to the average sustainable rent of
12.89 EUR/sqm/month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The German Office Rent Reversion Index
(DMX) shows the potential for rental growth for the German office market by
comparing the contract rents with the sustainable rents and thus creating more
transparency for the German office market. While in the<span style="color: #b2a1c7; mso-themecolor: accent4; mso-themetint: 153;"> </span>last year nearly all analyzed
office markets showed a positive rent reversion, this reporting year shows much
more diverse results. “About half of the eight analyzed locations, including
the B-Cities segment, show a positive rent reversion and therefore potentially
increasing rents. The other half shows a negative rent reversion, which means
potentially decreasing rents”, explains Lars Dierkes, project manager at IPD
Investment Property Databank GmbH, Wiesbaden. “But the amounts of rent
reversion in the positive direction as well as in the negative direction are
very moderate in this reporting year – with the exception of Hamburg – compared
to the results of last year.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Sustainable rents in all analyzed locations

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">After the positive
growth of sustainable rents of 7.7% on average in the last reporting period to
May 2011, sustainable rents could not keep this level in the last 12 months.
The results of the DMX show a decrease of sustainable rents in all analyzed
locations. On average the decrease was -3.8%, whereas Frankfurt am Main shows
the strongest decrease with -7.0%. In contrast, the average contract rents were
nearly stable and only decreased by -0.3% compared to last year’s value. Most
of the analyzed locations even show a slightly positive growth of contract
rents in the last 12 months except Frankfurt am Main which shows the strongest
decrease of contract rents with -6.5%. The strongest increase of contract rents
was currently measured in Munich with 2.1%.<span style="color: red;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“For us as an
investor, the DMX is a very useful tool”, says Olivier Elamine, CEO of alstria,
“however, we do not focus that much on the actual numbers, but are interested
in the trend. It shows that there is not much to be expected from the market in
terms of rent reversion. Value needs to come from hard work, the market will
not help.”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Due
to the decrease of sustainable rents and the nearly stable contract rents, both
values have become very close and result into a very small rent reversion of
0.3%. The highest positive rent reversion is currently measured in Hamburg with
6.3%, followed by Munich with 0.7%, Frankfurt am Main with 0.6% and Cologne
with 0.5%. Dusseldorf shows the highest negative rent reversion with -3.0%
followed by Stuttgart with -2.2% and Berlin with -1.3%. Average contract rents
and sustainable rents in the B-Cities segment are nearly balanced and therefore
only show a slight rent reversion of -0.3%<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In
the long-term view of rent reversions over the last 10 years, Berlin shows the
strongest positive rent reversion of 6.1% on average per year, followed by
Frankfurt am Main with 2.4%. The highest negative potential in the long-term view
was measured in Dusseldorf with -4.8% on average per year, followed by Cologne
with -2.2%. B-Cities show a slightly positive rent reversion of 1.1% and
therefore nearly match the total long-term result of the DMX with 1.0% average
rent reversion per year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">“The
insights of the DMX and its regional sub-indices are reliable and a good basis
for further analyses, as IPD put together a very comprehensive database with
primary data”, explains Dr. Daniel Piazolo, managing director of IPD Investment
Property Databank GmbH. The results of the DMX are based on eight sub-indices
that are calculated out of 26,000 office leases with a monthly rental value of
EUR 336m. These leases are analyzed based on their market segments and their
lease term and lease age. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

increased by 10.7% year-on-year to EUR 23.6 m, mainly as a result of
the acquisition of real estate assets in 2011. The funds from operations improved
by 22.2% to EUR 9.8 m in the first three months of 2012, reflecting the increased
revenue base and normalised administration expenses. More importantly, the FFO
per share increased by 9.1% to EUR 0.12 (EUR 0.11 in Q1 2011),
demonstrating the company’s ability to deliver on FFO accretion. alstria’s
net profit for the first three months of 2012 amounted to EUR 10.2 m
and was up by 3.7% compared to the first quarter of 2011. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

property totalled EUR 1.5 bn. This number is unchanged compared to
December 31, 2011. The real estate portfolio acquired in February 2012 was consolidated
as of May 1, 2012 and is therefore not reflected in the numbers for the first
quarter 2012. alstria’s equity amounted to EUR 837 m as of March 31, 2012.
The increase of EUR 69 m compared to December 31, 2011 was mainly driven by the
capital increase executed end of February 2012 and the operating profit for the

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The total physical vacancy rate in the portfolio
has increased in the first quarter 2012 from 8.6% (as of year-end 2011) to 10.7%,
mainly reflecting the expected vacancy of the Hans-Böckler-Strasse asset
(Düsseldorf), which was acquired in 2011 as part of the Vastned portfolio. The
EPRA vacancy rate<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6320097746951883698#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">[3]</span></span></span></a>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“It was of paramount
importance that we generated FFO per share growth following the capital
increase reinvestment, and we are glad that we have been able to deliver on
this promise” said Olivier Elamine, CEO of alstria. “The consolidation of the
recently acquired DIVE portfolio should allow us to further improve our FFO per
share. Our asset management work is now focusing on leasing up the new vacant
space that we have acquired, providing even further upside to the FFO.”<span style="color: #888888;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

(symbol: AOX, ISIN: DE000A0LD2U1), the leading German office REIT, announces its
result for the financial year 2011.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span class="headline1"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><strong>Revenues of EUR 90.8 m and FFO of EUR 34.7 m in line

<br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">In the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>financial
year 2011, alstria generated revenues of EUR 90.8 m. The increase of 1.9%
year on year was mainly attributable to the acquisition of real estate assets
in the course of the year. Funds from operations for the same period amounted
to EUR 34.7 m and were slightly higher than the 2011 guidance of EUR 34 m<a href="http://draft.blogger.com/" name="OLE_LINK2"></a><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">.
The substantial increase of alstria’s FFO margin from 30.9% (FY 2010) to 38.2%
(FY 2011) was driven by accretive acquisitions and the deleveraging process of
the Company. alstria’s operating success is also shown by the FFO per share,
which increased by 7% to EUR 0.48 compared with EUR 0.45 in the same
period last year. Considering the increase in the number of shares following
the capital increase executed in March 2011, the increase in FFO per share is
testimony to alstria’s ability to raise capital and invest it in an accretive
manner for all its shareholders. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The net loss from fair value adjustments on financial derivatives was
EUR -3.2 m and improved substantially compared with the prior year
period (EUR -35.7 m). alstria’s net profit for the year 2011 therefore was
EUR 27.4 m compared with EUR 0.2 m in 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<br /><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As a result of the annual valuation process, the portfolio value
decreased by EUR 16.7 m (2010: EUR -12.8 m) to EUR 1.53 bn.
The negative valuation impact is mainly due to the increase in transfer tax in some
German states (EUR -7.5 m) as well as to the devaluation of a
specific number of short-dated assets. The negative valuation result was almost
compensated by a positive result from joint ventures amounting to
EUR 13.1 m (2010: EUR 12.1 m), mainly related to the
successful disposal of the prime development project ‘Alte Post’. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

strong market position, alstria invested approximately EUR 172 million in
value-enhancing acquisitions of German offices over the past 12 months. The
investments were mainly financed using the available cash raised through the
recent capital increase. As part of its deleveraging strategy it was alstria’s
target to lever the new acquisitions at around 40% LTV. This new loan allows
the company to achieve this target, while providing a gross EUR 56 million of cash
inflow, which will improve the company’s financial flexibility. </span></span></div>

declining revenues, funds from operations improved strongly by 18.7% to EUR 25.6

capital structure of the Company and the recent acquisitions closed in the

the FFO increased by 1 cent/share from EUR 0.35/share to EUR 0.36/share. This
increase of FFO/share is testimony to the ability of alstria to raise capital
and invest it in an accretive manner for the benefit of all its shareholders. alstria’s
net result for the first nine months of 2011 amounted to EUR 27.6 million

property totalled EUR 1.5 billion and increased by 14.0% compared to
year-end of 2010. This reflects the inclusion of ten assets, acquired in the
course of 2010/2011. As of September 30, 2011, alstria’s equity amounted to EUR
767.6 million (+10.9%). The increase of EUR 75.2 million
compared to the end of 2010 is mainly resulting from the capital increase in
March 2011, but also reflects the dividend payment to shareholders of EUR 31.5
million in June 2011 and the positive operating cashflow in the first nine
months of 2011. alstria’s G-REIT equity ratio amounted to 48.7% as per end of September
2011, the company’s net LTV at the reporting date was 51.7%.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

history. The total physical vacancy rate in the portfolio as of September 30,
2011 stood at 8.5% or 73,500 sqm. The increase compared to June 30, 2011

opportunities”.<span style="color: #888888;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
