St Helier Jersey / Channel Islands  -                       Atrium European Real Estate Limited

                       First quarter 2017 trading update

Jersey, 17 May 2017. Atrium European Real Estate Limited (VSE/Euronext: ATRS),
("Atrium" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), a
leading owner, operator and redeveloper of shopping centres and retail real
estate in Central and Eastern Europe, provides an update on trading for the
first quarter ended 31 March 2017.

Liad Barzilai, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, commented: "It has been an
encouraging start to the year for Atrium, with improvements across all key
metrics and like-for-like net rental income growth across all our countries
during the first quarter of 2017, as the benefits of our ongoing portfolio
repositioning and improvement strategies continue to bear fruit. We were also
very pleased with the turnaround we saw in Russia in Q1 2017, following a
bottoming out in Q4 2016, which led to a 31% increase in like-for-like income
from our assets in that region. This, combined with the strong performances
elsewhere across our portfolio, has allowed us to start the year with a positive
earnings momentum. We will now look to build on this positive dynamic,
particularly as we implement our cost savings and efficiency plan, whilst
continuing to invest in our redevelopment and extensions programme."
