Eurocastle Interim Dividend

Eurocastle (Euronext Amsterdam: ECT) announced today that its
Board of Directors has declared an interim cash dividend of EUR 0.29
per share (in relation to the first two months of fourth quarter
2006) that will be payable on 15 December 2006 to holders of record
of the Company's Shares on 27 November 2006 (the "Interim Dividend").
The shares issued as part of the Offer described below will not carry
any entitlement to this interim dividend. All shareholders will
benefit from the final 2006 dividend that the Company intends to
declare during the first quarter of 2007.

Eurocastle Share Offer

The Company also announced today its intention to raise
approximately EUR 600 million through an offering to institutional
investors (the "Offer") of new ordinary shares (the "Shares"). An
institutional bookbuilding process is expected to be completed on or
around 30 November 2006, following which the number of Shares being
offered in the Offer and the offer price per Share will be announced.
It is expected that the net proceeds of the Offer will be used to
fund the acquisition of further investments to increase the size and
diversification of the Company's commercial real estate portfolio in
Germany and to fund the repayment of amounts drawn down under the
Company's revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank. The Company
will grant an over-allotment option to the stabilising manager on
behalf of the underwriters to acquire additional shares representing
up to 10 per cent of the Offer at the offer price. Deutsche Bank AG,
Goldman Sachs International, Lehman Brothers International (Europe)
and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited are joint lead
managers and joint bookrunners in respect of the Offer.
