Flughafen Wien AG announces that it has been informed about IFM
Global Infrastructure Fund's intention to make a public offer for an
increase of 10 % to up to 39.9% in their stake of the share capital

"IFM Global Infrastructure Fund: Public Offer to increase minority
stake in Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG)

The IFM Global Infrastructure Fund ("IFM GIF") intends to launch a
voluntary public offer pursuant to section 4 et seq of the Austrian
Takeover Act (Übernahmegesetz) to increase its non-controlling
minority stake by up to 10.0% to up to 39.9% of the share capital in
Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG) (ISIN AT0000911805) through its
indirect subsidiary, Airports Group Europe S.à r.l. ("Airports Group
Europe"). Airports Group Europe acquired its non-controlling stake of
29.9% in Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG) by means of a public
voluntary offer pursuant to section 4 et seq of the Austrian Takeover
Act in 2014. The vast majority of investors in IFM GIF are
institutional pension funds investing on behalf of millions of
individual workers, spread over multiple jurisdictions including
Australia, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, the United States
and Canada. The principal advisor of IFM GIF is IFM Investors Pty
Limited ("IFM Investors").

The price per share will amount to EUR 100 (one hundred Euro) and
represents a premium of 20.9% over the closing share price of Friday,
March 11, 2016 and a premium of 24.2% over the 1-month
volume-weighted average price (VWAP). To the knowledge of Airports
Group Europe, the State of Lower Austria and the City of Vienna,
acting as a syndicate, together hold 40.0% of the share capital of
Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG), which exempts Airports Group
Europe and any other person from the obligation to launch a mandatory
takeover offer pursuant to section 22 of the Austrian Takeover Act
provided that such person does not hold more voting rights than the
syndicate shareholders (section 24 of the Austrian Takeover Act),
even if the control threshold of 30.0% is exceeded. The offer will be
published in accordance with the Austrian Takeover Act provided that
the publication is not prohibited by the Takeover Commission. The
offer will also be acceptable in the United States. This announcement
neither constitutes an offer of shares nor a solicitation or
invitation to offer shares in Vienna Airport (Flughafen Wien AG).
Nomura is acting as financial advisor and Eisenberger & Herzog
Rechtsanwalts GmbH is acting as Austrian legal advisor to Airports
Group Europe."
