ATRIUM SUCCESSFULLY PLACES A EUR350MILLION UNSECURED EUROBOND

-Atrium's first unsecured bond is 3.7 times oversubscribed-

Jersey, 19 April 2013. Atrium European Real Estate Limited (VSE/Euronext:ATRS),
a leading owner, operator and developer of retail real estate and shopping
centres in Central and Eastern Europe, announces that it has successfully
completed the placement of a EUR350million unsecured seven year eurobond (the
"Bond"), maturing in April 2020 bearing a fixed coupon of 4.00% per annum. The
issue price was 99.569%. 

The order book for the issue was over EUR1.3billion, representing an
oversubscription of some 3.7 times. The Bond has been placed with a broad range
of institutional debt investors across Europe and confirms the confidence of
investors in Atrium's credit profile. 

Both Standard & Poors and Fitch have assigned a BBB- investment grade credit
rating to the Bond, in line with Atrium's own corporate rating. 

The proceeds of the issue will strengthen Atrium's liquidity and will be used
for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, as and when identified,
as well as the refinancing of its existing secured debt.

Commenting on the transaction, Rachel Lavine, Atrium's chief executive, said: 
"The success of this issue, which has been heavily oversubscribed, is a real
endorsement of the progress we have made at Atrium and provides us with
substantial financial liquidity to support the Group's growth strategy. It both
builds on the progress we have made, which led to achieving our investment grade
ratings at the end of last year, and enables us to take advantage of the current
low interest rate environment, and the highly active debt capital markets.  I am
very pleased with the result."
