8 Investor Relations 67.9 % free float nav / Share Developments on the stock exchange The third quarter 2014 saw high trading levels on the Vienna Stock Exchange, whereby share prices were heavily affected. Equity trading volumes were at 11.4 bn and thereby 17% higher than the comparable period of the previous year (1-9/2013: 9.7 bn). Equity trading volumes were up considerably again in September versus the summer months, reaching 4.2 bn. Total equity trading volume on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the first three quarters of 2014 was 36.1 bn (1-9/2013: 28.9 bn), marking an increase of 25% this year. Despite the pleasing development of equity trading liquidity, price trends reflect the rather subdued sentiment on the markets. The reasons as many economists and analysts have confirmed are geopolitical crises as well as downward revisions of economic forecasts and profit warnings. The ATX reached its year low of 2, points on 29 September However, analysts have forecast price increases for the ATX by year-end, provided the geopolitical situation does not deteriorate. (Source: Vienna Stock Exchange, press release dated 5 October 2014 Third Quarter 2014: Equity Trading on Vienna SE Still Brisk, Market Sentiment Dims ) The economic backdrop led the ATX to decline by 13.5% in the first nine months In contrast, IATX, the Austrian property index, held steady and achieved a slight plus of 4.5%. In the same period the DAX recorded a slight decline of 0.8%. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe Index was able to achieve a good performance and was up by 12.4%. In international terms, the general mood for investments in property-based securities therefore continues to be extremely positive. The conwert share in the first three quarters 2014 In the reporting period the conwert share dipped slightly by 3.2%, although this decline was far less pronounced than that of the ATX. The share started the year at a price of 9.33, before reaching a year high of on 24 April The year low of 8.52 was hit on 24 June The share closed at 9.03 on 30 September 2014 and the discount to the net asset value (NAV) per share of was 41.1% as of the reporting date.

Despite numerous sales in the past twelve months, the increase in total usable space is due to the consolidation of a residential portfolio from GE Capital Real Estate Germany (GE portfolio). The number of rental units also rose to 31,042, following on from 28,961 units in the comparable period of the previous year. 27,893 units were residential (30/09/2013: 25,801 units) and 3,149 units were commercial (30/09/2013: 3,160 units). The number of parking spaces stood at 13,890 as of the reporting date (30/09/2013: 13,139 parking spaces). At the end of the third quarter 2014 conwert held property assets of 2,827.7 mn (30/09/2013: 2,798.9 mn), an increase of 1.0% against 2013 owing to the purchase of the GE portfolio.

The occupancy rate improved once again by 11.9%. At the reporting date the vacancy rate was 10.4% (30/09/2013: 11.8%). The strategic vacancy rate improved from 2.6% in the previous year s reporting period to 1.9% at present as a result of completed renovation and development measures. The actual vacancy rate stood at 8.4% at the reporting date (30/09/2013: 9.2%). This is a good development in view of the consolidation of the GE portfolio, which had an above-average vacancy rate on the date of consolidation. On a like-for-like basis, vacancy rates overall fell by 7.2% to 9.5%. Property services In the first three quarters 2014 conwert service companies sold 1,936 units, of which 971 units were from 64 property sales. In total 67.8% or 1,312 of the units sold were for conwert and the remaining 32.2% for third parties. In the first nine months 2014 new rental agreements are in place for 535 units (incl. parking spaces) in Austria. In the other segments new rental agreements were concluded for a total of 3,433 units (incl. parking spaces) of which 3,205 units in Germany and 228 units in the other countries 75.1% were for conwert.

18 Revenues Rental income rose by 8.2% to mn, following on from mn in the same period of the previous year. The main growth drivers were the consolidation of the GE portfolio and the subsequent increase in property held in Germany. Net Rental Income (NRI) increased by 4.9% to mn (1-9/2013: mn). However, the NRI margin declined to 62.2% as a result of higher property expenses in the first nine months 2014 (1-9/2013: 64.2%), even though the NRI margin for the third quarter 2014 recovered to 64.0%. The net initial yield stood at 6.3%, following on from 6.0% in the comparable period. Proceeds from the sale of properties decreased as planned by 57.6% to 70.9 mn (1-9/2013: mn). The planned reduction in sales income led to a 25.5% decline in conwert revenues to mn (1-9/2013: mn). The focus of sales activities was on Germany in the first three quarters 2014, with sales revenue totalling 46.4 mn. Sales revenue amounted to 23.3 mn in Austria and 1.2 mn in the other countries. Total sales revenue were 70.9 mn, whereby the IFRS margin amounted to 9.1 mn or 14.7%. The management stands by the guidance of generating mn in sales proceeds by year-end Revenue from external property services decreased by 45.9% to 6.8 mn (1-9/2013: 12.6 mn), resulting from the concentration on selected service mandates for third parties. Revenue from internal services amounted to 26.2 mn (1-9/2013: 34.1 mn) at the reporting date. This reduction is mainly the result of the streamlined corporate structure in Germany which led to lower internal commissions.

At the end of the third quarter 2014 earnings before tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) stood at 82.5 mn (1-9/2013: 92.8 mn). Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) decreased from 92.3 mn at the reporting date of the previous year by 18.2% to 75.5 mn. As in the first half of the year 2014, negative fair value adjustments for individual properties in other countries were a contributing factor. conwert is involved in advanced sales negotiations with potential buyers for the portfolio in the Czech Republic and for assets in Slovakia. This required a negative fair value adjustment of around 5 mn for individual properties in the first half Furthermore, conwert reduced the fair value of an office property in the Ukraine by around 2 mn. A revaluation of 1.3 mn was also applied in the third quarter 2014 as a result of property sales which will only be realised at a later date. In total net income from fair value adjustments amounted to (6.0) mn. There were positive developments in personnel expenses, which fell by 16.6% to (20.4) mn (1-9/2013: (24.5) mn). While other operating expenses remained almost unchanged at (28.8) mn in the first three quarters 2014 (1-9/2013: (28.9) mn), the management assumes that there will be a significant decrease in other operating expenses for the full year Earnings before tax (EBT) stood at (27.8) mn as of the reporting date (1-9/2013: 36.0 mn). A key factor in this decline was net finance costs, which increased in particular in the first half 2014 as a result of a negative non-cash effects from swaps, due to the decrease in the interest rate curve. These non-cash effects totalled (45.0) mn from January to September 2014, following on from (0.9) mn in the previous year. Net finance costs amounted to (103.3) mn (1-9/2013: (56.3) mn). Owing to these negative influences in the reporting period, conwert recorded a loss after income tax and non-controlling interests of (19.9) mn (1-9/2013: 24.7 mn).

A key factor in this slight increase compared to the reporting period of the previous year was the acquisition of the portfolio from GE Capital Real Estate Germany (GE portfolio) in 2013, which more than compensated for the numerous sales in the past twelve months in terms of value. The assets of the Germany portfolio amounted to 1,781.8 mn at the end of the third quarter This corresponds to a share of 63.0% of total property assets. In terms of usage type, 1,852,027 sqm or 73.3% of the overall portfolio consisted of residential property and 676,266 sqm or 26.7% was commercial property as of the reporting date. 24 Interim Report 1-9/2014 Interim Management Report Segment Report

27 Austria segment Revenues and earnings Revenues in Austria fell by 48.0% to 83.2 mn (1-9/2013: mn) as a result of the planned significant decline in proceeds from the sale of properties in the reporting period of the previous year. Proceeds from the sale of properties were therefore 75.3% lower than the comparable reporting period and amounted to 23.3 mn (1-9/2013: 94.3 mn). 114 residential units and 45 commercial units, as well as 86 parking spaces, were sold in the first three quarters of The average sales margin was 12.8%.

28 Germany segment Revenues and earnings Owing to a decline in revenues from sales and property services against the comparable period, revenues in Germany fell by 7.2% to mn in the first three quarters 2014 (1-9/2013: mn). In contrast, rental income rose by 14.1% to mn (1-9/2013: mn) as a result of the portfolio purchased in August Proceeds from the sale of properties underwent a planned decline of 31.6% to 46.4 mn. By the reporting date 870 residential units and eight commercial units had been sold, along with 218 parking spaces. The average sales margin was 15.5%. Revenue from property services amounted to 20.0 mn, which was 32.7% less than in the comparable reporting period (1-9/2013: 29.7 mn); the key factor here was the concentration on selected mandates in the service sector. Despite an increase in property expenses, EBIT was up slightly by 1.4% to 59.5 mn (1-9/2013: 58.7 mn). The rise came from a reduction in personnel expenses and other operating expenses. Net finance costs continued to increase as a result of the negative performance of swaps and totalled (72.0) mn (1-9/2013: (26.4) mn).

Total rentable space stood at 1,882,980 sqm as of the reporting date, of which 1,609,349 sqm or 85.5% was residential and 273,631 sqm or 14.5% commercial. Despite the acquisition of the GE portfolio in the 2013 business year with a vacancy rate above the average of conwert s overall portfolio it was possible to achieve a significant reduction in every vacancy rate, with the overall vacancy rate at 8.9% (30/09/2013: 9.7%), the residential vacancy rate at 8.7% (30/09/2013: 9.2%), and the commercial vacancy rate at 9.8% (30/09/2013: 12.7%). As of the reporting date the strategic vacancy rate for the total space was 1.0%, thereby almost unchanged against the comparable reporting period (30/09/2013: 1.1%). Property assets in Germany totalled 1,781.8 mn at the end of the reporting period (30/09/2013: 1,662.6 mn). This significant increase in the past twelve months is primarily due to the purchase of the GE portfolio. The planned optimisation of the portfolio in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate currently covers five large areas in Dortmund, Essen, Siegen and Bad Sobernheim, with around 65,000 sqm usable space.

Furthermore, CBRE Austria has also forecast a slight price rise resulting from increased demand and lower interest rates. (Source: CBRE Austria, Strong performance of property investments in Austria, press release dated 8 July 2014) Supply is set to remain the limiting factor for market volumes on the Austrian residential property market to the end of 2014 and beyond. Excess demand is therefore likely to become even more acute. There could be an upswing in the market as a result of the recent amendments to building regulations, e.g. those related to loft conversions.

(Source: EHL, Office Market Report, Autumn 2014) German property market Germany s strong economy and limited fluctuation in rents and prices continue to make it one of the world s most sought-after locations for property investors. The extremely favourable financing conditions with interest rates at a historic low across the entire term will also ensure that the investment market remains highly dynamic. Consequently, CBRE has forecast fullyear transaction volumes for 2014 of well over 35 bn.

33 conwert Outlook The first nine months of 2014 were characterised by the sharp rise in financing costs, which was the result of the falling interest rate curve, as well as the generation of stable operating results. In operational terms, conwert will continue to focus on the core markets of Austria and Germany in the coming months. By year-end 2014 the vacancy rate is set to be around 10%. Sales for some properties outside conwert s core markets are already underway or in the preparatory phase. Management continues to assume proceeds from sale of properties totalling mn by the end of the year. The liquidity freed up through sales is to be used in particular for strengthening and consolidating the financing structure, whereby the conwert management is focusing on a timely approach to refinancing demand and reducing the average interest rate costs. The LTV ratio will be between 50 and 55% by the end of the business year. FFO I (excl. sales income) should amount to over 30 mn by year-end Events after the Reporting Period By October 2014 conwert had slightly increased its stake in KWG Kommunale Wohnen AG (KWG) to 78.8%. 150,000 KWG shares were purchased at an average price of 6.28 per share. In November conwert bought back 5.25% convertible bonds with a nominal value of 34.8 mn for 36.5 mn. The implicit yield was 1.2%. The buyback over par should be viewed in the context of the high coupon. Furthermore, at the start of the fourth quarter 2014 conwert succeeded in selling the majority of the property portfolio in Slovakia as part of a share deal for 6.0 mn. The properties were sold at their carrying amounts. The sale relates to two properties in Žilina and an undeveloped plot in Bratislava. The total usable space of both properties is around 9,200 sqm, the plot has a surface area of 2,200 sqm. 31
