Ad hoc announcement pursuant to § 15 of the German Securities Trading
Act (WpHG)

YOUNIQ AG approves capital increase

Frankfurt am Main, May 4, 2011 - With consent of the Supervisory
Board, the Management Board of YOUNIQ AG has today approved a
capital increase against cash contribution from authorised capital.
The company's share capital is to be increased by up to 50%, from
currently EUR 7,050,000 to up to EUR 10,575,000. A total of up to
3,525,000 new ordinary bearer shares, each with a notional
amount in relation to the share capital of EUR 1.00, are to be issued
for this purpose.

The new shares are to be offered for subscription to shareholders
by way of indirect subscription rights on the basis of a 2:1
subscription ratio in the period between May 19, 2011 inclusive
and June 3, 2011 inclusive. This means that one new share can be
subscribed in exchange for two of the company's ordinary
bearer shares currently held. Subscription rights trading will not
be organised. Both major shareholders, GOETHE INVESTMENTS
S.à r.l., Luxembourg, and Rabano PROPERTIES S.à r.l., Luxembourg,
which currently hold a total of around 98% of the existing
shares, will assign and transfer their pre-emptive rights to Close
Brothers Seydler Bank AG. Said assignment will be provided by an
underwriting agreement still to be concluded. Such underwriting
agreement

will also provide that up to 500,000 YOUNIQ shares that are currently held by
the aforementioned two major shareholders are to be offered for purchase to
institutional investors as part of a pre-placement. According to the
underwriting agreement, Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG, which is advising the
transaction as Sole Global Coordinator and Sole Bookrunner, will be obliged to
offer the new shares and the existing shares by way of a pre-placement to

institutional investors in Germany and in selected other European
countries. The pre-placement will be structured as a bookbuilding
procedure. The offer period for the pre-placement will run
presumably from May 11 until May 13, 2011. The pre-placement is
subject to the condition that the requisite number of new shares
will be available following the conclusion of the subscription
offer as far as free float shareholders exercise their subscription
rights.

The subscription offer with respect to the shares issued in the
context of the capital increase will be published in the electronic
Federal Gazette presumably on May 18, 2011 following approval of the
securities prospectus by the Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (BaFin) which is currently still outstanding. The
subscription price and the final issue volume will be determined
based on the result of the bookbuilding procedure for the
pre-placement. The subscription price will correspond to the
offering price.

YOUNIQ AG intends to use approximately 70 to 80% of the net issue
proceeds to strengthen the company's capital and liquidity with
respect to the financing of the potential project pipeline in the
"YOUNIQ - Student Living" business segment and to strengthen
YOUNIQ's market positioning. The remaining issue proceeds will
serve to finance refurbishment and maintenance measures for the
existing real estate portfolio and to increase financial flexibility.
