The agreement remains subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, which are expected to be completed by 31 January 2025. Once closed, the transaction, which has a total valuation of €422.5m for 100% of the GAV and compensation for embedded deferred tax liabilities, could generate up to c. €215m in net cash proceeds after the repayment of asset-level secured financing and transaction costs.

The assets are mainly located throughout Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Oberhausen and Dortmund. The transaction will be concluded via a share deal in which a tranche of 89.9% of the share capital is expected to close on 31 January 2025. Further to that, the parties also agreed to enter into a put option, allowing Adler to sell its remaining 10.1% stake to OCP and OneIM in due course. Dr. Karl Reinitzhuber, CEO of Adler Group, said: “We are proud to agree a deal as a reliable partner in this transaction and would like to thank all parties involved. We have reached another milestone in our portfolio optimisation. After this transaction, we will hold a portfolio almost entirely in the Berlin metropolitan area, an attractive market with strong fundamentals and substantial embedded potential. We will continue to systematically develop this portfolio in the future.” Stefan Brendgen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Adler Group, said: “The announcement of this second pivotal transaction within a few weeks shows that, with the help of our regained stability, we can implement our strategy in a targeted manner.”
