*AROUNDTOWN ANNOUNCES INCLUSION INTO EPRA INDICES AND GPR 250 INDEX*
_2 March 2018_.
Aroundtown SA (the '*Company*') is pleased to share the respective
announcements of FTSE Russell / EPRA and Global Property Research (GPR)
yesterday regarding the inclusions of the Company into the *FTSE EPRA/NAREIT
Global Developed Index* and, preliminarily, into the *GPR 250 Index*. Both
index inclusions will be effective as of 19 March 2018. The inclusion in
these key indices is the result of the step-up to the Prime Standard of the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the corporate re-domiciliation to Luxembourg, the
delisting from the Paris Stock Exchange, as well as Aroundtown's strong
performance in the equity market. These inclusions represent another
milestone achieved in increasing the visibility of the Company's shares and
enhancing Aroundtown's presence in the market as a leading real estate
player.
The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index Series, which is composed of
several individual indices categorized by market, region or other factors,
is considered the leading global listed real estate index representing the
world's largest and most investable public real estate companies. These
indices serve as indicators of the performance of the listed real estate
sector and as such serve as key industry benchmarks. Key indices within the
Index Series include:
- FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Developed Index
- FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Europe Developed Index
- FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Eurozone Index
- FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Germany Index
The GPR 250 is a single index and is comprised of the 250 most liquid listed
real estate stocks in the world, and as such represents the most tradeable
property companies globally and likewise serves as an important sector
performance benchmark. Aroundtown is additionally an existing constituent of
the GPR General Index.
Aroundtown is a constituent to the Stoxx 600 index since October 9, 2017.
