EUR5.9m sale of Merseburg asset and Publication of Prospectus

Sirius Real Estate, a leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany, is pleased to announce the sale of its site in Merseburg for EUR5.9 million. The sale of this legacy non-core asset is part of the Company's strategy to dispose of mature and non-core assets and recycle equity into assets with greater value add opportunities, in order to increase total returns from the portfolio.

Andrew Coombs, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are actively recycling capital into higher margin assets and we continue to see interesting acquisition opportunities in our target markets."

In addition, further to previous announcements, Sirius has today published a prospectus (the "Prospectus") in connection with moving the listings of its entire issued share capital of 852,858,815 Ordinary Shares from the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") and the AltX market of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") to trading on the Main Market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange ("Main Market") and the Main Board for listed securities of the JSE ("Main Board") ("Admission").

The Prospectus has been approved by the UK Listing Authority. A copy has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will be available at http://www.hemscott.com/nsm.do and http://www.sirius-real-estate.com/investor-relations/financial-information/prospectus/prospectus_index.php.

Copies of the Prospectus will be posted to shareholders later today and will also be available for inspection during usual business hours on any day (excepting weekends and public holidays) at the Company's offices at Martello Court, Admiral Park, St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands GY1 3HB and at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, 3 More London Riverside, London, SE1 2AQ.
