Ernst Vejdovszky, Member of S IMMO AG’s Management Board, comments: “The difference between the net asset value of the S IMMO Share and its current market price makes the share repurchase programme one of the best investments we can make at present. At the same time, the repurchase programme for S IMMO INVEST participating certificates that we launched earlier this year has constituted a major step in the process of simplifying our capital structure.”

According to the above mentioned General Meeting resolution the Management Board has been authorised to repurchase up to 10% of the registered share capital of S IMMO AG within 30 months following the day of the General Meeting in accordance with section 65 para 1 no 8 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act.

The Company now intends to repurchase via the stock exchange treasury shares up to 3% of the registered share capital, i.e. up to 2,043,561 no-par value shares of the Company. The repurchase is made for any purpose allowed by section 65 para 1 no 8 of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. The Company reserves the right to cancel the acquired treasury shares, to build-up an acquisition currency for potential share and real estate acquisitions or resell the shares via the stock exchange. The repurchase programme shall start on 06 October 2011 and is expected to end on 31 May 2012 at the latest.

The repurchase relates to the no-par value bearer shares (ordinary shares) of S IMMO AG (ISIN: AT0000652250) and will be effected via the Vienna Stock Exchange.
