HANNOVER LEASING Group sets strategic course and strengthens core business with institutional clients

• Staff reinforced on the market side
• Corporate governance further developed

Pullach, 28 June 2023 – As part of the strategic development of HANNOVER LEASING's business activities, the company has set the course for strengthening its core business with institutional clients. As a result, both the direct market side with key functions such as sales, ESG or research as well as transaction, asset and portfolio management with a focus on the "Core" risk class will be expanded at the Pullach location.

In addition, the completion of corporate governance already started in the first quarter will be continued. After Martin Eberhardt joined the Management Board on the front office side in February and the Supervisory Board was re-staffed with experienced market players, there is now also a change in the back office. Bernd Schlapka is leaving the company's management at his own request on 30 June 2023. His successor comes from a major international investment house and will join the Management Board shortly after the usual approval by the regulator.

Martin Eberhardt, spokesman for the management of HANNOVER LEASING INVESTMENT: "Our investment universe is currently in office, hotel, retail and residential properties as well as student housing. The main objective is to further expand business with institutional investors via special real estate funds and "single asset club deals" based on an excellent track record spanning several decades. In addition, as in the past, market opportunities in the area of closed-end public funds will be pursued."

Izabela Danner, Corestate board member adds, "With a clear focus on our overall strategy, we are leveraging and bundling our strengths within the group for the benefit of investors. The current difficult phase for all market participants opens up the opportunity for us to optimize structures and processes in Pullach and to lead the core business there on a new growth course." Izabela Danner continued "I am already looking forward to working with my new colleague on the Management Board. The Management Board and Supervisory Board would like to thank Bernd Schlapka for his commitment to HANNOVER LEASING over the past years and wish him all the best for the future."
