Subtitle: Purchase of two land plots totalling around 11,000 m² /
Construction of a total of 423 student apartments close to the
university / Management regards 2011 business targets as achieved

Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - YOUNIQ AG is further strengthening
its position as a leading provider of high-quality student apartments
in Germany with the acquisition of two new sites in Bayreuth and
Lübeck. From April 2012, a total of 236 student apartments are to be
created in Bayreuth, and a total of 187 in Lübeck, entailing a
rentable space of around 9,100 m². The 5,800 m² (Bayreuth) and 5,200
m² (Lübeck) land plots are both located directly next to university
campuses. YOUNIQ AG is investing around EUR 28 million into the new
projects. The company anticipates that the construction and
subsequent rentals will be completed by the 2013/14 winter semester.
Both projects are to be recognised in profit or loss statement of the
fiscal year 2011.

Rainer Nonnengässer, CEO of YOUNIQ AG, commented as follows on these
new acquisitions: "We have gained two renowned and up-and-coming
university locations with Bayreuth and Lübeck. Our growth strategy
and focus on our core student housing business have proved correct
and groundbreaking. We have achieved our 2011 business targets,
having now completed five acquisitions since the capital increase in
June. We take a positive view of the coming 2012 year, and we will
continue to work further on YOUNIQ AG's expansion."

Along with high rent levels and a low number of competing student
residences, the locational benefits offered by the Bayreuth and
Lübeck sites include their proximity to their respective campuses,
and direct access to shopping and other amenities. The number of
students in Bayreuth is also to be boosted to more than 15,000 over
the coming years, compared with currently around 10,500, according to
a target agreement between the federal state of Bavaria and the
university. This represents an increase of more than 10 percent per
year. These new projects will raise the number of apartments that
YOUNIQ AG manages or is currently constructing to a total of 3,264
units.
