ATRIUM SUCCESSFULLY PLACES A EUR350MILLION UNSECURED EUROBOND

-Atrium's first unsecured bond is 3.7 times oversubscribed-

Jersey, 19 April 2013. Atrium European Real Estate Limited
(VSE/Euronext:ATRS), a leading owner, operator and developer of
retail real estate and shopping centres in Central and Eastern
Europe, announces that it has successfully completed the placement of
a EUR350million unsecured seven year eurobond (the "Bond"), maturing
in April 2020 bearing a fixed coupon of 4.00% per annum. The issue
price was 99.569%.

The order book for the issue was over EUR1.3billion, representing an
oversubscription of some 3.7 times. The Bond has been placed with a
broad range of institutional debt investors across Europe and
confirms the confidence of investors in Atrium's credit profile.

Both Standard & Poors and Fitch have assigned a BBB- investment grade
credit rating to the Bond, in line with Atrium's own corporate
rating.

The proceeds of the issue will strengthen Atrium's liquidity and will
be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, as
and when identified, as well as the refinancing of its existing
secured debt.

Commenting on the transaction, Rachel Lavine, Atrium's chief
executive, said: "The success of this issue, which has been heavily
oversubscribed, is a real endorsement of the progress we have made at
Atrium and provides us with substantial financial liquidity to
support the Group's growth strategy. It both builds on the progress
we have made, which led to achieving our investment grade ratings at
the end of last year, and enables us to take advantage of the current
low interest rate environment, and the highly active debt capital
markets. I am very pleased with the result."
