Mobimo plans to acquire a majority interest in Dual Real Estate Investment SA
* Mobimo signs a purchase agreement with the major shareholder under which it

Switzerland
Lucerne, 6 October 2015 - Mobimo Holding AG ("Mobimo") signed an agreement with
Dual Holding SA, Fribourg, under which it is acquiring its majority interest of
some 73% in Dual Real Estate Investment SA ("Dual"). With this acquisition,
Mobimo is entering into the Geneva real estate market and thus continuing to
expand its position in French-speaking Switzerland.

Entry into the Geneva real estate market Dual invests successfully in
residential property and in mixed-use properties in the low and medium rental
brackets in the Canton of Geneva. 82% of its rental income comes from
residential use, and its properties have an estimated fair value of CHF 244
million. Dual's strategy focuses on residential property with good scope for
rent increases and on the long-term preservation, management and continuous
maintenance of the properties that it lets. The Geneva real estate market
features a very low new-build rate relative to the demand for new apartments,
which results in a consistently high need for residential property. Dual is
listed on the Bern eXchange.

Expansion of activities in French-speaking Switzerland Mobimo has successfully
established itself in French-speaking Switzerland since its merger with LO
Holding Lausanne-Ouchy S.A. in 2009. The acquisition of this shareholding adds
29 new properties in Geneva to its portfolio.

Purchase will be funded from cash resources The purchase price will be slightly
around CHF 65 million. The closing of the purchase agreement and definitive
fixing of the purchase price will depend on certain regulatory conditions. The
acquisition is being financed from cash holdings. Even after the purchase of the
shareholding, Mobimo's equity ratio will remain above the strategic minimum
threshold of 40%.
