Peach Property Group repays EUR 50 million bond

Zurich, 1 July 2016 - Peach Property Group, an investor specialising in the management of residential property in Germany, yesterday repaid the corporate bond of its German subsidiary Peach Property Group (Deutschland) AG (ISIN DE000A1KQ8K4) with a nominal amount of EUR 50 million on schedule. The final amount outstanding of EUR 46.7 million was repaid from the cash flow from operating activities. This resulted from Peach Property Group's successful asset management over the past few years, in particular from the sale of the Gretag site in Regensdorf by Zurich and the commercial property "Erkrath Retail" by Düsseldorf. It was thus possible to repay the bond without having to take out new borrowing. The balance sheet ratios have improved as a result, as the Group's liabilities have fallen substantially with a simultaneous reduction in total assets. In addition, financing costs have fallen significantly. Details will be announced in the 2016 six-month financial statements, which will be published on 24 August 2016.

The 6.6% bond was issued in July 2011 and was listed in the Entry Standard on Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Shares of Peach Property Group (PEAN, ISIN CH0118530366) and the hybrid bond (PEA15, ISIN CH0305711647) are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

Dr. Marcel Kucher, Chief Financial Officer with Peach Property Group, commented: "The repayment of the EUR bond from our operating cash flow is a milestone in our company's growth. This means that our equity ratio has increased again significantly and we are now in an ideal position to enjoy further profitable growth on this basis."
