AROUNDTOWN PROPERTY HOLDINGS PLC UPDATES ON PROGRESS OF MIGRATION TO LUXEMBOURG AND DECISION TO DELIST FROM ALTERNEXT/EURONEXT AND FOCUS ON PRIME STANDARD FRANKFURT STOCK EXCHANGE

26 July 2017.

Aroundtown Property Holdings plc (the "Company" or "Aroundtown") announces it has received today official approval from Cypriot authorities for the migration of the Company's seat to Luxembourg. This approval is one of the main steps in the migration process. The Board of Directors of Aroundtown (the "Board") will call for the relevant extraordinary shareholders' general meeting ("EGM") in Luxembourg for a shareholder voting to finalize the process of migration and to continue as a Luxembourg company. The Company expects the process to be finalized within the course of August 2017.

Following the successful admission of the Company's shares to trading on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Prime Standard), the Board has resolved to delist its shares from the unregulated Alternext market of the Paris Stock Exchange ("Alternext") as soon as it will be confirmed by Euronext SE. In contrast to Alternext, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Prime Standard is an EU-regulated market, which provides for higher transparency levels.

As the listing on Prime Standard has been made inter alia with the intention to gain access to various stock indices, the concentration of the daily trading volume in this segment will further increase the likelihood of the fast inclusion into certain stock indices of the DAX family.

The Company further believes that delisting from Alternext and a subsequent consolidation of its liquidity in the highest regulated stock exchange market segment will be advantageous to the Company and to its investors, due to higher stock liquidity, faster indices inclusion and higher visibility.

The shares of the Company will continue to be traded on the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the XETRA trading system.
