DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG ANNUAL REPORT 2016 Financial year January 1 – December 31, 2016 2 DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG | Annual Report 2016 DEMIRE at a glance FIRST IN SECONDARY LOCATIONS DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG has commercial real estate holdings in mid-sized cities and upcoming areas bordering metropolitan areas across Germany. The Company has its special strength in these secondary locations – first in secondary locations – and focuses on properties which that are particularly attractive for medium-sized companies. DEMIRE has grown rapidly in recent years as a result of aquisitions of individual properties and company shares alike. At the end of the 2016 fiscal year, DEMIRE’s portfolio contained rental space of 1.1 million sqm with a market value of more than EUR 1 billion. The portfolio’s focus on office, retail and logistic properties results in a risk structure that DEMIRE believes is reasonable for the commercial real estate segment. The Company places importance on long-term contracts with solvent tenants and, therefore, anticipates stable and sustainable rental income. DEMIRE intends to maintain its corporate organisation as lean as possible, although it believes that economies of scale and portfolio optimisation are best achieved by having its own in-house asset, property and facility management. This safeguards the Company’s business expertise and, equally important, allows the Company to maintain direct contact with the customer. The shares of DEMIRE Deutsche Mittelstand Real Estate AG are listed on the regulated market (Prime Standard Segment) of the Frankfurter Stock Exchange. » Portfolio Management / Strategy » Risk Management / DEMIRE Compliance » Finance and Controlling trategy S » Legal » Investor Relations Property & Asset Facility Management Management » Operational property- and tenant-related functions » Accounting & IT » Efficient and effective daily operations » Direct tenant relationship DEMIRE » Cost & quality control Immobilien Ma- Praedia Facility perational Business perational Management GmbH O nagement GmbH Integrated platform enables to scale the portfolio while maintaining an efficient and effective corporate structure 3 DEMIRE at a glance TOTAL REVENUE EBIT EPS (diluted) + 113 % 92.1 + 42 % 1.74 83.2 + 1.070 % 43.3 + 1 % -59 %* 58.7 - 45 %* 58.4 0.71 3.7 0.39 2014 2015 2016 2014 2015 2016 2014 2015 2016 in EUR million in EUR million * considering district increase in average number of shares EPRA NAV (diluted) EPRA NAV per share (diluted) EQUITY RATIO (%) + 15 % + 12 % 28.2 % 312.5 + 8 % 271.9 4.60 + 281 % + 50 % 4.25 + 75 % 25.6 % 71.4 2.84 14.6 % 2014 2015 2016 2014 2015 2016 2014 2015 2016 in EUR million in EUR AVG.

FOREWOrd OF THE EXECUTivE BOard | REPORT OF THE SUPErvisOry BOard | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 7 FirsT IN SECONdary LOcaTIONS | COMBINED MANAGEMENT REPORT (GROUP AND AG) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BALANCE shEET OATH | AUdiTOR’S REPORT » Foreword of the Executive Board Foreword of the Executive Board Ladies and Gentlemen, The focus during the 2016 fiscal year was the integration and optimal management of the real estate acquired as part of the Company’s major growth step in the previous year. The refinancing and repayments made during the year were a further successful step on the way to improving DEMIRE’s financial results going forward. During the fiscal year, we redeemed a high-yield SME-bond in its entirety and reduced one of our key ratios, the LTV ratio (loan-to-value), representing the net financial debt ratio in relation to real estate assets, from its level of 67.5 % at the end of 2015 to 62.8 % as at December 31, 2016. By the year-end reporting date, we had also reduced the average interest rate for the DEMIRE Group’s financial debt from 5.2 % to 4.4 % p.a. thereby meeting our 2016 target range of 4.0 % to 4.5 % p.a. The bond was repaid using our operating cash flow and the funds raised from our 10 % cash capital increase in August 2016. The remaining net proceeds from the capital increase further strengthened DEMIRE AG’s financial position and will be used to finance future real estate acquisitions. Another milestone in improving our financing structures was achieved in February 2017 with the early renewal of a promissory note, originally due in 2019, at much more favourable terms. The interest rate was reduced from 5 % p.a. to 4 % p.a. with retroactive effect as of January 1, 2017, with the option for a further reduction to 3.5 %, without paying a prepayment penalty.
