Deutsche Wohnen applies for change of segment to General Standard on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange

• Transparency will continue to be ensured
• Change of segment will lead to cost savings

Berlin, 14 December 2021. Today, Deutsche Wohnen applied to have its licence to trade its shares in the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange revoked. The admission of Deutsche Wohnen shares to the regulated market (General Standard) will not be affected by this.

The change of segment to General Standard will become effective three months following the publication of the decision to revoke by the board of directors of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the website of the Deutsche Boerse Group (www.deutsche-boerse.com).

This change of segment and the associated discontinuation of the extended control and reporting obligations of the Prime Standard is intended to achieve cost savings.

In order that the requirements of our investors for transparency can be sufficiently met, we will continue in future to provide a quarterly summary of our business performance for the relevant reporting period in both German and English.
