Capital measures/Company Information

Subtitle: - Issue of up to 3,525,000 new ordinary shares - Gross
issue proceeds of up to EUR 31.7 million - Fresh equity to mainly
serve financing of potential pipeline in "Student Living" business
area - Uplisting into Prime Standard planned for July 2011

Frankfurt am Main (euro adhoc) - Frankfurt am Main, May 9, 2011 - The
Management Board of YOUNIQ AG has today launched the investor
roadshow for the company's planned capital increase. A total of
3,525,000 new ordinary bearer shares of YOUNIQ AG are to be offered
for subscription as part of the public offering. To these are to be
added up to 500,000 further shares that are held by the two major
shareholders GOETHE INVESTMENTS S.à r.l. and Rabano PROPERTIES S.à
r.l. YOUNIQ AG's share capital will increase by 50%, from EUR
7,050,000 to up to EUR 10,575,000, once the new shares have been
successfully placed.

As part of a bookbuilding process, the new shares are to be offered
to institutional investors in Germany and selected European countries
as part of a pre-placing. This is possible because the two major
shareholders are refraining from exercising their subscription
rights. The pre-placing is to be conducted in the period between May
11, 2011 and May 13, 2011 inclusive. The price range for the
bookbuilding is to be published prospectively on May 10, 2011 by way
of an ad hoc announcement. The maximum subscription price will be EUR
9 per share. Shareholders comprising the free float - which currently
amounts to approximately 2% - can exercise their subscription rights
according to the 2:1 subscription ratio within the statutory
subscription period between May 19, 2011 and June 3, 2011 inclusive.
A successful placing at the upper end of the bookbuilding range would
consequently generate gross issue proceeds of up to EUR 31.7 million.
These proceeds are to primarily serve the realisation of the possible
pipeline of up to 3,500 residential units for students.

Once the new shares and the additional 500,000 secondary shares have
been fully placed, the interests of GOETHE INVESTMENTS and Rabano
PROPERTIES would reduce from currently around 98.0% to as little as
60.7%. The free float would increase from around 2% to up to 39.4%
accordingly.

Rainer Nonnengässer, CEO of YOUNIQ AG, regards the "Student Living"
core business, in particular, as being further strengthened as a
result of the planned transaction: "We are significantly improving
our financing base with the targeted issue proceeds and the
restructuring of the shareholder loan. This will allow us to realise
our potential pipeline of up to 3,500 residential units across
Germany, and to expand our earnings base. At the same time, we are
making an important contribution to increasingly establishing the
"student accommodation" asset class in Germany."

Once the transaction has been successfully concluded, the company
will apply for admission of the shares to trading in the Prime
Standard prospectively in July 2011. The securities prospectus for
the public offering that has been approved by the Federal Financial
Supervisory Authority (BaFin) can be downloaded from YOUNIQ AG's
website at www.youniq-group.de, within the Investor Relations area.
