- Construction commenced during the third quarter
- Agreements in place for 79% of the project, with an average lease

adding a further 15,400 sqm of GLA to the portfolio.

Commenting on the results, Rachel Lavine, CEO of Atrium European Real
Estate, said:

"We have continued to build on the strong first half performance and,
despite the ongoing economic uncertainties across the Eurozone, and
their impact on the CEE region, we have again delivered substantial
growth in our operating results which has also translated in to
higher cash flow. In light of this strong financial performance and
our confidence in Atrium's future prospects, the Board has approved
an increase in Atrium's annual dividend for the third consecutive
year. Our future growth prospects are reinforced by our Atrium
Felicity development, which we expect to be open to the public by the
end of next year. Construction is now underway and the centre is
already 79% pre let.

"At a corporate level we were also very pleased to achieve our
strategic objective of gaining an investment grade credit rating
which reflects the progress we have made in improving the Group's
financial strength and operational stability."
