NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN, OR INTO, THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN
Eurocastle (Euronext Amsterdam: ECT) announced today the successful pricing of its offer (the "Offer") of new ordinary shares ("New Shares") at a price (the "Offer Price") of EUR 37 per New Share. The number of New Shares to be issued (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option) is 16,216,216, raising gross proceeds of approximately EUR 600 million. Eurocastle has granted an over-allotment option to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch on behalf of the underwriters to acquire 1,621,622 additional New Shares at the Offer Price. This over-allotment option may be exercised at any time up to and including 31 December 2006.
It is expected that the net proceeds of the Offer will be used to fund the acquisition of further investments to increase the size and diversification of the Company's commercial real estate portfolio in Germany and to fund the repayment of amounts drawn down under the Company's revolving credit facility with Deutsche Bank. Pending cash requirements for German real estate acquisitions, the Company will use that portion of the net proceeds temporarily for other investments.
The New Shares (excluding the shares which are subject of the over-allotment option) represent approximately 26.2 per cent. of the Company's enlarged ordinary share capital immediately after admission of the New Shares to listing on Euronext Amsterdam N.V.'s Eurolist by Euronext ("Eurolist by Euronext").
It is expected that admission of the New Shares to listing on Eurolist by Euronext will become effective and that dealings in the New Shares will commence, on 6 December 2006.
The prospectus relating to the Offer will be published on 1 December 2006. Copies of the prospectus will be available from the Company's registered office from the date of publication.
Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs International, Lehman Brothers International (Europe) and Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited are acting as joint lead managers and joint bookrunners in respect of the Offer.

This announcement is an advertisement and not a prospectus and investors should not subscribe for or purchase shares referred to in this announcement except on the basis of information in the prospectus to be published by the Company in due course in connection with the admission of the New Shares to listing and trading on Eurolist by Euronext (the "Prospectus"). Copies of the Prospectus will be available from the Company's registered office following publication. No public offer is being made of the New Shares. In any Member State that has implemented the Prospectus Directive, the Offer will only be made to, and will only be directed at, qualified investors in that Member State within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive or otherwise so that there is no offer to the public in that Member State.

International Limited, is acting for Eurocastle in connection with the Offer and no one else and will not be responsible to anyone other than Eurocastle for providing the protections offered to clients of Deutsche Bank AG, Goldman Sachs International, Lehman Brothers International (Europe) or Morgan Stanley & Co.

These materials may not be distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan. They are not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities discussed herein.
This announcement does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities mentioned herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of, US persons (as such term is defined in Regulations S under the Securities Act) unless they are registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration. No public offering of securities is being made in the United States. In addition, the issuer of the securities mentioned herein has not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 and investors will not be entitled to the benefits of such act.
In connection with the Offer, Deutsche Bank AG, as stabilising manager, may, for stabilisation purposes, over-allot New Shares up to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the total number of shares comprised in the Offer. For the purposes of allowing Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allotments and/or from sales of shares effected by it during the stabilisation period, the Company has granted it an option pursuant to which Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch may require the Company to issue additional shares up to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the total number of shares comprised in the Offer at the Offer Price. The over-allotment option is exercisable in whole or in part, upon notice by Deutsche Bank AG, for thirty calendar days after the date of allotment of the New Shares. Any shares issued by the Company following exercise of the over-allotment option will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the New Shares and will form a single class for all purposes with the other New Shares.
In connection with the Offer, Deutsche Bank AG, as stabilising manager, or any of its agents, may (but will be under no obligation to), to the extent permitted by applicable law, over-allot and effect other transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the ordinary shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is not required to enter into such transactions and such transactions may be effected on any stock market, over-the-counter market or otherwise. Such stabilising measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time and may only be taken during the period from 1 December up to and including 31 December 2006.
This announcement does not constitute or form part of any offer for sale or subscription of, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for ordinary shares in the capital of the Company in any jurisdiction. The offer to subscribe for New Shares pursuant to the proposed Offer will be made solely on the basis of information that will be contained in the Prospectus. The price and value of, and income from, shares may go down as well as up. Persons needing advice should consult a professional adviser. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
This announcement contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements and relate to, amongst other things, future commitments to acquire German real estate and the making of other investments. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "will", "may" or other similar words or expressions. Such statements are based on certain assumptions, future expectations, plans and strategies. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is limited. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, its actual results and performance may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, in particular as a result of the risk that the Company may not be able to reach agreement or suitable terms with respect to any significant portion of the German real estate acquisition opportunities currently being evaluated.
