Why Germany – Great Fundamentals

 Low interest rate environment

 Mortgage rates in Germany are among the lowest in recent history, as increased competition in the German lending market has put pressure on credit spreads. The trend is expected to continue

 Unemployment at 5.3%, among lowest in EU with employment levels at the highest point in recent years  Economy is diversified with GDP outlook improving

 The German economy posted a Q1 GDP growth of 2.1%, ahead of the annual forecast of 1.8% for 2014  Domestic demand represent the key driver for growth

 Liquid and scalable real estate market

 Germany remains one of the most highly sought after real estate investment markets in Europe  In Q1/14, the total investment volume for commercial real estate reached €9.9 billion, a y/y increase of 47%

 Attractive spreads (~400 bps) between cap rate and borrowing rates for further acquisitions  Large office stock with little new construction

Europe overall is in much better shape today and has been continuously improving since Summer 2011

Big 7 Prime Yield to German 10-yr Bond Spread

Current Spread Historical Average Spread

Healthy spreads exist between the German prime yield and Government and corporate bond yields (see top graph). Generally, BBB corporate bonds are a good predictor of the future yields in real estate, as it has a similar risk appetite. Currently, spreads between the prime yields in the Big 7 office markets and the German 10-year government bond yield is ~325 bps, higher than the 10-year historical spread average of ~220 bps (see bottom graph). In this environment, Dream Global is well positioned to continue to acquire assets at attractive spreads.

Value Creation – Darmstadt

Upon Acquisition

Darmstadt was one of the largest buildings in the initial portfolio. Subsequent to the DP termination, we leased a portion of the space and worked quickly to transform the interior and exterior of the building to enhance the appeal of the asset to prospective tenants. In Q1 2014, we leased an additional 72k sf at a term of 10 years and at an average rent that is almost 30% better than former DP rents. The tenant is a large educational institution with strong solvency

  • rating. The asset is now almost fully leased. With our leasing efforts

at Darmstadt, we expect the value of the asset to have increased by 30 – 40%.

Upon Acquisition After DP Termination Today

Another example of a large and successful repositioning project is our 170k sf

  • ffice property in Bremen. After Deutsche Post terminated space in 2012, the
  • ccupancy dropped to 70%. Our leasing team aggressively marketed the space,

upgrading both the front entrance and the lobby. These transformations have helped in leasing the space to a wide range of tenants, including 33,000 sf to the City of Bremen. Today, the property is 94% leased with an average term of 9 years – with higher income, longer lease terms and a better tenant mix driving cap rate compression and value appreciation.
