€11m Sale of Dusseldorf Asset
Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and flex-
ible workspace in Germany, is pleased to announce that it has notarised the sale of its business park in
Wiesenstrasse, Dusseldorf for €11 million.
The Dusseldorf asset has been fully developed under the Sirius brand and with occupancy now at 96.2%
is considered a mature asset within the Company’s portfolio. It intended that the proceeds of the sale be
recycled into new assets with greater total return opportunity.
Since this site was acquired in 2008, Sirius’s asset management activity has significantly improved the
tenant mix and lease terms. The sale price of €11 million represents a 25% premium to the site’s book
value of €8.7 million as at 30 September 2016 and an EPRA net initial yield for the purchaser of 7.2%
(including acquisition costs). The purchaser is a German institutional fund.
There is a secured loan of around €3.9 million outstanding on the asset. Under the terms of the loan Sirius
has the option of substituting other assets into the facility in place of the Dusseldorf asset, which it expects
to do.
The sale will add to the Company’s cash resources and provide further support for acquisitions whilst
maintaining the Company’s stated LTV target of 40%. Sirius continues to see a healthy acquisition pipeline
of assets on which it can use its asset management skills to drive value for shareholders.
Andrew Coombs Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, said, “The Dusseldorf business park has
been a good asset for Sirius, we have added to the income and capital values of the site and taken it to
maturity and it is pleasing now to be able to recycle the capital we have created into opportunities with
greater scope to increase total returns for our shareholders.”

About Sirius Real Estate
Sirius is a property company listed on the main market and premium segment of the London Stock Ex-
change and the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. It is a leading operator of branded busi-
ness parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany. The Company’s core strategy
is the acquisition of business parks at attractive yields, the integration of these business parks into its
network of sites under the Company’s own name as well as offering a range of branded products within
those sites, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of existing and vacant space to appeal to the local mar-
ket, through intensive asset management and investment. The Company’s strategy aims to deliver attrac-
tive risk adjusted returns for shareholders by increasing rental income and improving cost recoveries and
capital values, as well as by enhancing those returns through financing its assets on favourable terms.
Once sites are mature and net income and values have been optimised, Sirius may consider their disposal
in order to recycle equity into assets which present greater opportunity for the Group’s asset manage-
ment skills.
