DKR examines further options for action after the decision of the fiscal court

Potsdam, 17 July 2023 - Deutsche Konsum REIT-AG (ISIN DE000A14KRD3) was informed today by the Berlin-Brandenburg Fiscal Court that DKR's action for a suspension of execution in the REIT litigation has been dismissed. No appeal was allowed by the Fiscal Court.

Accordingly, DKR must pay income taxes for the years 2016 to 2020 (EUR 9.8 million) and make advance tax payments for the years 2022 and 2023 (EUR 6.2 million). DKR had already formed corresponding provisions for this as a precaution.

Irrespective of the outcome of the suspension of execution proceedings, DKR is currently examining further possibilities and prospects of success in the higher court proceedings in the main case concerning the recognition of the REIT status challenged by the Potsdam tax authorities.

Statements on possible effects on the tax assessments for shareholders cannot be made at present. It is recommended to check this individually with a tax advisor.
